The main problem considered in this paper is maximizing the number of cycles in a graph with given number of edges. In 2009, Király conjectured that there is constant $c$ such that any graph with $m$ edges has at most $c(1.4)^m$ cycles. In this paper, it is shown that for sufficiently large $m$, a graph with $m$ edges has at most $(1.443)^m$ cycles. For sufficiently large $m$, examples of a graph with $m$ edges and $(1.37)^m$ cycles are presented. For a graph with given number of vertices and edges an upper bound on the maximal number of cycles is given. Also, bounds tight up to a constant are presented for the maximum number of cycles in a multigraph with given number of edges, as well as in a multigraph with given number of vertices and edges.

Topological invariants are the significant invariants that are used to study the physicochemical and thermodynamic characteristics of chemical compounds. Recently, a new bond additive invariant named the Mostar invariant has been introduced. For any connected graph ℋ, the edge Mostar invariant is described as Moe(ℋ)=∑gx∈E(ℋ)|mℋ(g)−mℋ(x)|, where mℋ(g)(or mℋ(x)) is the number of edges of ℋ lying closer to vertex g (or x) than to vertex x (or g). A graph having at most one common vertex between any two cycles is called a cactus graph. In this study, we compute the greatest edge Mostar invariant for cacti graphs with a fixed number of cycles and n vertices. Moreover, we calculate the sharp upper bound of the edge Mostar invariant for cacti graphs in ℭ(n,s), where s is the number of cycles.

A variation on the classical polygon illumination problem was introduced in [Aichholzer et al. EuroCG’09]. In this variant light sources are replaced by wireless devices called [Formula: see text]-modems, which can penetrate a fixed number [Formula: see text], of “walls”. A point in the interior of a polygon is “illuminated” by a [Formula: see text]-modem if the line segment joining them intersects at most [Formula: see text] edges of the polygon. It is easy to construct polygons of [Formula: see text] vertices where the number of [Formula: see text]-modems required to illuminate all interior points is [Formula: see text]. However, no non-trivial upper bound is known. In this paper we prove that the number of kmodems required to illuminate any polygon of [Formula: see text] vertices is [Formula: see text]. For the cases of illuminating an orthogonal polygon or a set of disjoint orthogonal segments, we give a tighter bound of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we present an [Formula: see text] time algorithm to achieve this bound.

We develop a generally applicable framework for constructing efficient estimators of regression models via quantile regressions. The proposed method is based on optimally combining information over multiple quantiles and can be applied to a broad range of parametric and nonparametric settings. When combining information over a fixed number of quantiles, we derive an upper bound on the distance between the efficiency of the proposed estimator and the Fisher information. As the number of quantiles increases, this upper bound decreases and the asymptotic variance of the proposed estimator approaches the Cramér–Rao lower bound under appropriate conditions. In the case of nonregular statistical estimation, the proposed estimator leads to super-efficient estimation. We illustrate the proposed method for several widely used regression models. Both asymptotic theory and Monte Carlo experiments show the superior performance over existing methods.

Flutter control of a bridge deck section using a combination of aerodynamic and mechanical measures, that is controllable winglets and rotating mass dampers, is considered. Deck and winglets are considered as flat plates for their aerodynamics. Self-excited wind forces are represented in the time domain using the Scanlan–Tomko model with Roger’s rational function approximation for flutter derivatives. Winglet rotation relative to the deck is the control input generated by the variable-gain output feedback controller that uses vertical and torsional displacements of the deck as measured outputs. Control using winglets enhances the critical speed to twice the uncontrolled flutter speed. Further attenuation of vertical response is obtained by using rotating mass dampers configured to provide only a resultant vertical force due to counter-rotating unbalanced masses. The rotors are driven at a constant angular speed, and start–stop criteria are applied. This generates additional vertical force on the deck that is mostly out of phase with its vertical velocity. It yields better control than the damper operated in a continuous rotation mode for a fixed number of cycles. A maximum reduction of 15% in root mean square vertical response is obtained when compared with control using winglets only.

For a connected graph J, a subset W ⊆ V J is termed as a locating-total dominating set if for a ∈ V J ,   N a ∩ W ≠ ϕ , and for a ,   b ∈ V J − W ,   N a ∩ W ≠ N b ∩ W . The number of elements in a smallest such subset is termed as the locating-total domination number of J. In this paper, the locating-total domination number of unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs are studied and their bounds are presented. Then, by using these bounds, an upper bound for cacti graphs in terms of their order and number of cycles is estimated. Moreover, the exact values of this domination variant for some families of cacti graphs including tadpole graphs and rooted products are also determined.

A celebrated result of Rödl and Ruciński states that for every graph $F$, which is not a forest of stars and paths of length 3, and fixed number of colours $r\geqslant 2$ there exist positive constants $c,C$ such that for $p\leqslant cn^{-1/m_{2}(F)}$ the probability that every colouring of the edges of the random graph $G(n,p)$ contains a monochromatic copy of $F$ is $o(1)$ (the ‘0-statement’), while for $p\geqslant Cn^{-1/m_{2}(F)}$ it is $1-o(1)$ (the ‘1-statement’). Here $m_{2}(F)$ denotes the 2-density of $F$. On the other hand, the case where $F$ is a forest of stars has a coarse threshold which is determined by the appearance of a certain small subgraph in $G(n,p)$. Recently, the natural extension of the 1-statement of this theorem to $k$-uniform hypergraphs was proved by Conlon and Gowers and, independently, by Friedgut, Rödl and Schacht. In particular, they showed an upper bound of order $n^{-1/m_{k}(F)}$ for the 1-statement, where $m_{k}(F)$ denotes the $k$-density of $F$. Similarly as in the graph case, it is known that the threshold for star-like hypergraphs is given by the appearance of small subgraphs. In this paper we show that another type of threshold exists if $k\geqslant 4$: there are $k$-uniform hypergraphs for which the threshold is determined by the asymmetric Ramsey problem in which a different hypergraph has to be avoided in each colour class. Along the way we obtain a general bound on the 1-statement for asymmetric Ramsey properties in random hypergraphs. This extends the work of Kohayakawa and Kreuter, and of Kohayakawa, Schacht and Spöhel who showed a similar result in the graph case. We prove the corresponding 0-statement for hypergraphs satisfying certain balancedness conditions.

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For a positive integer $k$, define $S_{n,k}$ to be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles, i.e.,\[ S_{n,k} = \{\pi \in S_{n}: \pi = c_{1}c_{2} \cdots c_{k}\},\] where $c_1,c_2,\dots ,c_k$ are disjoint cycles. The size of $S_{n,k}$ is $\left [ \begin{matrix}n\\ k \end{matrix}\right]=(-1)^{n-k}s(n,k)$, where $s(n,k)$ is the Stirling number of the first kind. A family $\mathcal{A} \subseteq S_{n,k}$ is said to be $t$-cycle-intersecting if any two elements of $\mathcal{A}$ have at least $t$ common cycles. In this paper we show that, given any positive integers $k,t$ with $k\geq t+1$, if $\mathcal{A} \subseteq S_{n,k}$ is $t$-cycle-intersecting and $n\ge n_{0}(k,t)$ where $n_{0}(k,t) = O(k^{t+2})$, then \[ |\mathcal{A}| \le \left [ \begin{matrix}n-t\\ k-t \end{matrix}\right],\]with equality if and only if $\mathcal{A}$ is the stabiliser of $t$ fixed points.
