Antimagic Labeling

An antimagic labeling of a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of $D$ to the integers $\{1, \cdots, m\}$ such that all $n$ oriented vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where an oriented vertex sum is the sum of labels of all arcs entering that vertex minus the sum of labels of all arcs leaving it. An undirected graph $G$ is said to have an antimagic orientation if $G$ has an orientation which admits an antimagic labeling. Hefetz, Mütze, and Schwartz conjectured that every connected undirected graph admits an antimagic orientation. In this paper, we support this conjecture by proving that every biregular bipartite graph admits an antimagic orientation.

Skew Adjacency Matrix

An oriented graph $\overleftarrow{G}$ is a simple undirected graph $G$ with an orientation, which assigns to each edge a direction so that $\overleftarrow{G}$ becomes a directed graph. $G$ is called the underlying graph of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and we denote by $S(\overleftarrow{G})$ the skew-adjacency matrix of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and its spectrum $Sp(\overleftarrow{G})$ is called the skew-spectrum of $\overleftarrow{G}$. In this paper, the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the skew-adjacency matrix $S(\overleftarrow{G}) $ are given in terms of $\overleftarrow{G}$ and as its applications, new combinatorial proofs of known results are obtained and new families of oriented bipartite graphs $\overleftarrow{G}$ with $Sp(\overleftarrow{G})={\bf i} Sp(G) $ are given.

Skew Adjacency Matrix

An oriented graph ${G^{\sigma}}$ is a simple undirected graph $G$ with an orientation, which assigns to each edge of $G$ a direction so that ${G^{\sigma}}$ becomes a directed graph. $G$ is called the underlying graph of ${G^{\sigma}}$ and we denote by $S({G^{\sigma}})$ the skew-adjacency matrix of ${G^{\sigma}}$ and its spectrum $Sp({G^{\sigma}})$ is called the skew-spectrum of ${G^{\sigma}}$. In this paper, the skew spectra of two orientations of the Cartesian products are discussed, as applications, new families of oriented bipartite graphs ${G^{\sigma}}$ with $Sp({G^{\sigma}})={\bf i} Sp(G)$ are given and the orientation of a product graph with maximum skew energy is obtained.

Abstract In this paper, we study the parameterized complexity of the induced matching problem in hamiltonian bipartite graphs and the inapproximability of the maximum induced matching problem in hamiltonian bipartite graphs. We show that, given a hamiltonian bipartite graph, the induced matching problem is W[1]-hard and cannot be solved in time n o ⁢ ( k ) {n^{o(\sqrt{k})}} , where n is the number of vertices in the graph, unless the 3SAT problem can be solved in subexponential time. In addition, we show that unless NP = P {\operatorname{NP}=\operatorname{P}} , a maximum induced matching in a hamiltonian bipartite graph cannot be approximated within a ratio of n 1 / 4 - ϵ {n^{1/4-\epsilon}} , where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

Modular Lattices

If (L, ≥) is a lattice or partial order we may think of its Hesse diagram as a directed graph, G, containing the single edge E(c, d) if and only if c covers d in (L, ≥). This graph we shall call the graph of (L, ≥). Strictly speaking it is the basis graph of (L, ≥) with the loops at each vertex removed; see (3, p. 170).We shall say that an undirected graph Gu can be realized as the graph of a (modular) (distributive) lattice if and only if there is some (modular) (distributive) lattice whose graph has Gu as its associated undirected graph.

A perfect matchingMin an edge-coloured complete bipartite graphKn,nis rainbow if no pair of edges inMhave the same colour. We obtain asymptotic enumeration results for the number of rainbow perfect matchings in terms of the maximum number of occurrences of each colour. We also consider two natural models of random edge-colourings ofKn,nand show that if the number of colours is at leastn, then there is with high probability a rainbow perfect matching. This in particular shows that almost every square matrix of ordernin which every entry appearsntimes has a Latin transversal.

We are interested in $(\varepsilon)$-regular bipartite graphs which are the central objects in the regularity lemma of Szemerédi for sparse graphs. A bipartite graph $G=(A\uplus B,E)$ with density $p={|E|}/({|A||B|})$ is $(\varepsilon)$-regular if for all sets $A'\subseteq A$ and $B'\subseteq B$ of size $|A'|\geq \varepsilon|A|$ and $|B'|\geq \varepsilon |B|$, it holds that $\left| {e_G(A',B')}/{(|A'||B'|)}- p\right| \leq \varepsilon p$. In this paper we prove a characterization for $(\varepsilon)$-regularity. That is, we give a set of properties that hold for each $(\varepsilon)$-regular graph, and conversely if the properties of this set hold for a bipartite graph, then the graph is $f(\varepsilon)$-regular for some appropriate function $f$ with $f(\varepsilon)\rightarrow 0$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$. The properties of this set concern degrees of vertices and common degrees of vertices with sets of size $\Theta(1/p)$ where $p$ is the density of the graph in question.

Asymptotically Optimal

A team of $n$ players plays the following game. After a strategy session, each player is randomly fitted with a blue or red hat. Then, without further communication, everybody can try to guess simultaneously his own hat color by looking at the hat colors of the other players. Visibility is defined by a directed graph; that is, vertices correspond to players, and a player can see each player to whom he is connected by an arc. The team wins if at least one player guesses his hat color correctly, and no one guesses his hat color wrong; otherwise the team loses. The team aims to maximize the probability of a win, and this maximum is called the hat number of the graph.Previous works focused on the hat problem on complete graphs and on undirected graphs. Some cases were solved, e.g., complete graphs of certain orders, trees, cycles, and bipartite graphs. These led Uriel Feige to conjecture that the hat number of any graph is equal to the hat number of its maximum clique.We show that the conjecture does not hold for directed graphs. Moreover, for every value of the maximum clique size, we provide a tight characterization of the range of possible values of the hat number. We construct families of directed graphs with a fixed clique number the hat number of which is asymptotically optimal. We also determine the hat number of tournaments to be one half.
