The flip Markov chain for connected regular graphs

The flip Markov chain for connected regular graphs

Mahlmann and Schindelhauer (2005) defined a Markov chain which they called kFlipper, and showed that it is irreducible on the set of all connected regular graphs of a given degree (at least 3). We study the 1-Flipper chain, which we call the flip chain, and prove that the flip chain converges rapidly to the uniform distribution over connected 2r-regular graphs with n vertices, where n ≥ 8 and r...

Decycling connected regular graphs

analysis of ruin probability for insurance companies using markov chain

در این پایان نامه نشان داده ایم که چگونه می توان مدل ریسک بیمه ای اسپیرر اندرسون را به کمک زنجیره های مارکوف تعریف کرد. سپس به کمک روش های آنالیز ماتریسی احتمال برشکستگی ، میزان مازاد در هنگام برشکستگی و میزان کسری بودجه در زمان وقوع برشکستگی را محاسبه کرده ایم. هدف ما در این پایان نامه بسیار محاسباتی و کاربردی تر از روش های است که در گذشته برای محاسبه این احتمال ارائه شده است. در ابتدا ما نشا...

Connected domination of regular graphs

A dominating set D of a graph G is a subset of V (G) such that for every vertex v ∈ V (G), either v ∈ D or there exists a vertex u ∈ D that is adjacent to v in G. Dominating sets of small cardinality are of interest. A connected dominating set C of a graph G is a dominating set of G such that the subgraph induced by the vertices of C in G is connected. A weakly-connected dominating set W of a g...

Hamiltonicity in connected regular graphs

In 1980, Jackson proved that every 2-connected k-regular graph with at most 3k vertices is Hamiltonian. This result has been extended in several papers. In this note, we determine the minimum number of vertices in a connected k-regular graph that is not Hamiltonian, and we also solve the analogous problem for Hamiltonian paths. Further, we characterize the smallest connected k-regular graphs wi...
