Basis Criteria For N-Cycle Integer Splines, Ester Gjoni
Basis Criteria For N-Cycle Integer Splines, Ester Gjoni
Senior Projects Spring 2015
In this project we work with integer splines on graphs with positive integer edge labels. We focus on graphs that are n-cycles for some natural number n. We find an explicit condition for when a set of splines can form a module basis for n-cycle splines. In general, a set of splines forms a Z-module basis if and only if their determinant is equal to the product of the edge labels divided by the greatest common divisor of those edge labels.
