Some Generalizations Of Corona Product Of Two Graphs, Aparajita Borah, Gajendra Pratap Singh Mar 2024

Some Generalizations Of Corona Product Of Two Graphs, Aparajita Borah, Gajendra Pratap Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we are seeking to conceptualize the notion of corona product of two graphs to contrive some special types of graphs. That is, here our attempt is to regenerate a familiar graph as a product graph. We are considering seven familiar graphs here to reconstruct them with the help of corona product of two graphs. Such types of families of the graphs and operations can be used to study biological pathways as well as to find the optimal order and size for the special types of graphs.

Determinant Formulas Of Some Hessenberg Matrices With Jacobsthal Entries, Taras Goy, Mark Shattuck Jun 2021

Determinant Formulas Of Some Hessenberg Matrices With Jacobsthal Entries, Taras Goy, Mark Shattuck

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we evaluate determinants of several families of Hessenberg matrices having various subsequences of the Jacobsthal sequence as their nonzero entries. These identities may be written equivalently as formulas for certain linearly recurrent sequences expressed in terms of sums of products of Jacobsthal numbers with multinomial coefficients. Among the sequences that arise in this way include the Mersenne, Lucas and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers as well as the squares of the Jacobsthal and Mersenne sequences. These results are extended to Hessenberg determinants involving sequences that are derived from two general families of linear second-order recurrences. Finally, combinatorial proofs are provided …


Logarithmic Mean Labeling Of Some Ladder Related Graphs, A. Durai Baskar Jun 2020

Logarithmic Mean Labeling Of Some Ladder Related Graphs, A. Durai Baskar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In general, the logarithmic mean of two positive integers need not be an integer. Hence, the logarithmic mean is to be an integer; we use either flooring or ceiling function. The logarithmic mean labeling of graphs have been defined in which the edge labels may be assigned by either flooring function or ceiling function. In this, we establish the logarithmic mean labeling on graphs by considering the edge labels obtained only from the flooring function. A logarithmic mean labeling of a graph G with q edges is an injective function from the vertex set of G to 1, 2, 3,..., …

Twin Edge Coloring Of Total Graph And Graphs With Twin Chromatic Index 𝚫+𝟐, S. Anantharaman

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A twin edge coloring of a graph G is meant a proper edge coloring of G whose colors come from the integers modulo k that induce a proper vertex coloring in which the color of a vertex is the sum of the colors of its incident edges. The minimum k for which G has a twin edge coloring is the twin chromatic index of G. In this paper, I compute twin chromatic index of total graph of path and cycle also construct some special graphs with twin chromatic index is maximum degree plus two.

The Weak Hyperedge Tenacity Of The Hypercycles, G. H. Shirdel, B. Vaez-Zadeh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Graphs play an important role in our daily life. For example, the urban transport network can be represented by a graph, as the intersections are the vertices and the streets are the edges of the graph. Suppose that some edges of the graph are removed, the question arises how damaged the graph is. There are some criteria for measuring the vulnerability of graph; the tenacity is the best criteria for measuring it. Since the hypergraph generalize the standard graph by defining any edge between multiple vertices instead of only two vertices, the above question is about the hypergraph. When a …

Adjacent Vertex-Distinguishing Proper Edge-Coloring Of Strong Product Of Graphs, S. Anantharaman

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Let G be a finite, simple, undirected and connected graph. The adjacent vertex-distinguishing proper edge-coloring is the minimum number of colors required for a proper edge-coloring of G, in which no two adjacent vertices are incident to edges colored with the same set of colors. The minimum number of colors required for an adjacent vertex-distinguishing proper edgecoloring of G is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing proper edge-chromatic index. In this paper, I compute adjacent vertex-distinguishing proper edge-chromatic index of strong product of graphs.

A subset S of a vertex set V is called a dominating set of graph G if every vertex of V -S is dominated by some element of set S. If e is an edge with end vertices u and v and degree of u is greater than or equal to degree of v then we say u strongly dominates v. If every vertex of V - S is strongly dominated by some vertex of S then S is called strong dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a strong dominating set is called the strong domination number of graph. We …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Let G =(V,E) be a graph. A subset X of E is called an edge dominating set of G if every edge in E - X is adjacent to some edge in X . An edge dominating set which intersects every maximum matching inG is called matching transversal edge dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a matching transversal edge dominating set is called the matching transversal edge domination number of G and is denoted by γmt(G). In this paper, we begin an investigation of this parameter.


A Generalized Polynomial Identity Arising From Quantum Mechanics, Shashikant B. Mulay, John J. Quinn, Mark A. Shattuck Dec 2016

A Generalized Polynomial Identity Arising From Quantum Mechanics, Shashikant B. Mulay, John J. Quinn, Mark A. Shattuck

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We establish a general identity that expresses a Pfaffian of a certain matrix as a quotient of homogeneous polynomials. This identity arises in the study of weakly interacting many-body systems and its proof provides another way of realizing the equivalence of two proposed types of trial wave functions used to describe such systems. In the proof of our identity, we make use of only elementary linear algebra and combinatorics and thereby avoid use of more advanced conformal field theory in establishing the aforementioned equivalence.

Cobb-Douglas Based Firm Production Model Under Fuzzy Environment And Its Solution Using Geometric Programming, Palash Mandal, Arindam Garai, Tapan K. Roy

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we consider Cobb-Douglas production function based model in a firm under fuzzy environment, and its solution technique by making use of geometric programming. A firm may use many finite inputs such as labour, capital, coal, iron etc. to produce one single output. It is well known that the primary intention of using production function is to determine maximum output for any given combination of inputs. Also, the firm may gain competitive advantages if it can buy and sell in any quantities at exogenously given prices, independent of initial production decisions. On the other hand, in reality, constraints …

3-Total Super Sum Cordial Labeling By Applying Operations On Some Graphs, Abha Tenguria, Rinku Verma

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The sum cordial labeling is a variant of cordial labeling. In this paper, we investigate 3-Total Super Sum Cordial labeling. This labeling is discussed by applying union operation on some of the graphs. A vertex labeling is assigned as a whole number within the range. For each edge of the graph, assign the label, according to some definite rule, defined for the investigated labeling. Any graph which satisfies 3-Total Super Sum Cordial labeling is known as the 3-Total Super Sum Cordial graphs. Here, we prove that some of the graphs like the union of Cycle and Path graphs, the union …

F–Geometric Mean Graphs, A. D. Baskar, S. Arockiaraj Dec 2015

F–Geometric Mean Graphs, A. D. Baskar, S. Arockiaraj

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In a study of traffic, the labelling problems in graph theory can be used by considering the crowd at every junction as the weights of a vertex and expected average traffic in each street as the weight of the corresponding edge. If we assume the expected traffic at each street as the arithmetic mean of the weight of the end vertices, that causes mean labelling of the graph. When we consider a geometric mean instead of arithmetic mean in a large population of a city, the rate of growth of traffic in each street will be more accurate. The geometric …

Solution To Some Open Problems On E-Super Vertex Magic Total Labeling Of Graphs, G. Marimuthu, M. S. Raja Durga, G. D. Devi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Let G be a finite graph with p vertices and q edges. A vertex magic total labeling is a bijection f from V(G)∪E(G) to the consecutive integers 1, 2, ..., p+q with the property that for every u∈V(G) , f( u)+ ∑f(uv)=K for some constant k. Such a labeling is E-super if f :E(G)→{1, 2,..., q}. A graph G is called E-super vertex magic if it admits an E-super vertex magic labeling. In this paper, we solve two open problems given by Marimuthu, Suganya, Kalaivani and Balakrishnan (Marimuthu et al., 2015).
