International audience Cayley polytopes were defined recently as convex hulls of Cayley compositions introduced by Cayley in 1857. In this paper we resolve Braun's conjecture, which expresses the volume of Cayley polytopes in terms of the number of connected graphs. We extend this result to a two-variable deformations, which we call Tutte polytopes. The volume of the latter is given via an evaluation of the Tutte polynomial of the complete graph. Our approach is based on an explicit triangulation of the Cayley and Tutte polytope. We prove that simplices in the triangulations correspond to labeled trees and forests. The heart of the proof is a direct bijection based on the neighbors-first search graph traversal algorithm. Les polytopes de Cayley ont été définis récemment comme des ensembles convexes de compositions de Cayley introduits par Cayley en 1857. Dans ce papier, nous résolvons la conjecture de Braun. Cette dernière exprime le volume du polytopes de Cayley en termes du nombre de graphes connexes. Nous étendons ce résultat à des déformations de polytopes de Cayley à deux variables, à savoir les polytopes de Tutte. Le volume de ces derniers est donnè par une évaluation du polynôme de Tutte du graphe complet. Notre approche est basée sur une triangulation explicite des polytopes de Cayley et Tutte. Nous démontrons que les simplexes de ces triangulations correspondent à des arbres marqués. La pierre angulaire de notre démonstration est une bijection directe basées sur l'algorithme de la recherche du premier voisin sur le graphe.

Cette Condition

International audience C. Merino [Electron. J. Combin. 15 (2008)] showed that the Tutte polynomial of a complete graph satisfies $t(K_{n+2};2,-1)=t(K_n;1,-1)$. We first give a bijective proof of this identity based on the relationship between the Tutte polynomial and the inversion polynomial for trees. Next we move to our main result, a sufficient condition for a graph G to have two vertices u and v such that $t(G;2,-1)=t(G-\{u,v\};1,-1)$; the condition is satisfied in particular by the class of threshold graphs. Finally, we give a formula for the evaluation of $t(K_{n,m};2,-1)$ involving up-down permutations. C. Merino [Electron. J. Combin. 15 (2008)] a montré que le polynôme de Tutte du graphe complet satisfait $t(K_{n+2};2,-1)=t(K_n;1,-1)$. Le rapport entre le polynôme de Tutte et le polynôme d'inversions d'un arbre nous permet de donner une preuve bijective de cette identité. Le résultat principal du travail est une condition suffisante pour qu'un graphe ait deux sommets u et v tels que $t(G;2,-1)=t(G-\{u,v\};1,-1)$; en particulier, les graphes ``threshold'' satisfont cette condition. Finalement, nous donnons une formule pour $t(K_{n,m};2,-1)$ qui fait intervenir les permutations alternées.

Random Assignment Problem

International audience We explore a similarity between the $n$ by $n$ random assignment problem and the random shortest path problem on the complete graph on $n+1$ vertices. This similarity is a consequence of the proof of the Parisi formula for the assignment problem given by C. Nair, B. Prabhakar and M. Sharma in 2003. We give direct proofs of the analogs for the shortest path problem of some results established by D. Aldous in connection with his $\zeta (2)$ limit theorem for the assignment problem.

Integer Labeling

International audience A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be $\textit{magic}$ if there exists an integer labeling $f: V \cup E \to [1, |V \cup E|]$ such that $f(x)+f(y)+f(xy)$ is constant for all edges $xy \in E$. Enomoto, Masuda and Nakamigawa proved that there are magic graphs of order at most $3n^2+o(n^2)$ which contain a complete graph of order $n$. Bounds on Sidon sets show that the order of such a graph is at least $n^2+o(n^2)$. We close the gap between those two bounds by showing that, for any given graph $H$ of order $n$, there are connected magic graphs of order $n^2+o(n^2)$ containing $H$ as an induced subgraph. Moreover it can be required that the graph admits a supermagic labelling $f$, which satisfies the additional condition $f(V)=[1,|V|]$.

International audience We introduce a multiplicity Tutte polynomial $M(x,y)$, which generalizes the ordinary one and has applications to zonotopes and toric arrangements. We prove that $M(x,y)$ satisfies a deletion-restriction recurrence and has positive coefficients. The characteristic polynomial and the Poincaré polynomial of a toric arrangement are shown to be specializations of the associated polynomial $M(x,y)$, likewise the corresponding polynomials for a hyperplane arrangement are specializations of the ordinary Tutte polynomial. Furthermore, $M(1,y)$ is the Hilbert series of the related discrete Dahmen-Micchelli space, while $M(x,1)$ computes the volume and the number of integral points of the associated zonotope. On introduit un polynôme de Tutte avec multiplicité $M(x, y)$, qui généralise le polynôme de Tutte ordinaire et a des applications aux zonotopes et aux arrangements toriques. Nous prouvons que $M(x, y)$ satisfait une récurrence de "deletion-restriction'' et a des coefficients positifs. Le polynôme caractéristique et le polynôme de Poincaré d'un arrangement torique sont des spécialisations du polynôme associé $M(x, y)$, de même que les polynômes correspondants pour un arrangement d'hyperplans sont des spécialisations du polynôme de Tutte ordinaire. En outre, $M(1, y)$ est la série de Hilbert de l'espace discret de Dahmen-Micchelli associé, et $M(x, 1)$ calcule le volume et le nombre de points entiers du zonotope associé.

Combinatorics International audience In this paper, we study (1 : b) Avoider-Enforcer games played on the edge set of the complete graph on n vertices. For every constant k≥3 we analyse the k-star game, where Avoider tries to avoid claiming k edges incident to the same vertex. We consider both versions of Avoider-Enforcer games — the strict and the monotone — and for each provide explicit winning strategies for both players. We determine the order of magnitude of the threshold biases fmonF, f-F and f+F, where F is the hypergraph of the game.

International audience We introduce an arithmetic version of the multivariate Tutte polynomial recently studied by Sokal, and a quasi-polynomial that interpolates between the two. We provide a generalized Fortuin-Kasteleyn representation for representable arithmetic matroids, with applications to arithmetic colorings and flows. We give a new proof of the positivity of the coefficients of the arithmetic Tutte polynomial in the more general framework of pseudo-arithmetic matroids. In the case of a representable arithmetic matroid, we provide a geometric interpretation of the coefficients of the arithmetic Tutte polynomial. Nous introduisons une version arithmétique du polynôme de Tutte multivariée récemment étudié par Sokal, et un quasi-polynôme qui interpole entre les deux. Nous proposons une représentation de Fortuin-Kasteleyn neutralise pour les matroïdes arithmétiques représentables, avec des applications aux colorations et flux arithmétiques. Nous donnons une nouvelle preuve de la positivité des coefficients du polynôme de Tutte arithmétique dans le cadre plus général des matroïdes pseudo-arithmétiques. Dans le cas d'un matroïde arithmétique représentable, nous proposons une interprétation géométrique des coefficients du polynôme de Tutte arithmétique.

Traversal Algorithm

Here we explore the impact of different graph traversal algorithms on molecular graph generation. We do this by training a graph-based deep molecular generative model to build structures using a node order determined via either a breadth- or depth-first search algorithm. What we observe is that using a breadth-first traversal leads to better coverage of training data features compared to a depth-first traversal. We have quantified these differences using a variety of metrics on a dataset of natural products. These metrics include: percent validity, molecular coverage, and molecular shape. We also observe that using either a breadth- or depth-first traversal it is possible to over-train the generative models, at which point the results with the graph traversal algorithm are identical

International audience A non-crossing connected graph is a connected graph on vertices arranged in a circle such that its edges do not cross. The count for such graphs can be made naturally into a q-binomial generating function. We prove that this generating function exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon, as conjectured by S.-P. Eu. Un graphe connexe dont les sommets sont disposés sur un cercle est sans croisement si ses arêtes ne se croisent pas. Nous démontrons une conjecture de S.-P. Eu affirmant que la fonction génératrice q-binomiale dénombrant de tels graphes exhibe le phénomène du crible cyclique.

Depth-first search (DFS) is a well-known graph traversal algorithm and can be performed in O ( n + m ) time for a graph with n vertices and m edges. We consider the dynamic DFS problem, that is, to maintain a DFS tree of an undirected graph G under the condition that edges and vertices are gradually inserted into or deleted from G. We present an algorithm for this problem, which takes worst-case O ( m n · polylog ( n ) ) time per update and requires only ( 3 m + o ( m ) ) log n bits of space. This algorithm reduces the space usage of dynamic DFS algorithm to only 1.5 times as much space as that of the adjacency list of the graph. We also show applications of our dynamic DFS algorithm to dynamic connectivity, biconnectivity, and 2-edge-connectivity problems under vertex insertions and deletions.
