Symmetrically Continuous Functions, Marcin Szyszkowski Aug 2000

Symmetrically Continuous Functions, Marcin Szyszkowski

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

This work is devoted entirely to symmetric continuity and consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction. Chapter 2, based on the paper [Sz2], is the main part of this work. In this chapter we generalize classic theorems on functions defined on the intervals to functions defined on arbitrary subsets of the real line. Chapter 3 deals with a weaker condition than symmetric continuity---weak symmetric continuity. It is an extended version of my paper [Sz1]. Chapter 4 is based on the paper [CSz]. Here it is shown that symmetrically continuous functions, although being "close" to continuous functions, may not …


Coloring Clique Hypergraphs, Hoifung Poon Aug 2000

Coloring Clique Hypergraphs, Hoifung Poon

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph. The clique hypergraph of G, denoted as CH( G), has V as its set of vertices, and the maximal cliques as its hyperedges. Let Sk be a set of k colors. A map c : V Sk is a proper k-coloring for CH(G) if any maximal clique of G with at least two vertices receives at least two distinct colors. Let W ⊂ V, and let s ≥ 1. We say that G is (W, s)-extendible if any assignment on W with at most s colors can be extended to a …
