Folding and Coloring Problems in Mathematics and Physics

چکیده

We review various folding problems arising in the physics of membranes and polymers. These are (1) the phantom folding of tethered membranes, i.e. the two-dimensional lattice folding; (2) the phantom folding of fluid membranes, i.e. the folding of tessellations of arbitrary genus; (3) the self-avoiding folding of polymers, i.e. the meander problem. All three problems are found to be related to coloring problems and possess one kind of underlying integrable structure, in different guises. Many mathematical results follow from taking advantage of this fact.

A practical algorithm for [r, s, t]-coloring of graph

Coloring graphs is one of important and frequently used topics in diverse sciences. In the majority of the articles, it is intended to find a proper bound for vertex coloring, edge coloring or total coloring in the graph. Although it is important to find a proper algorithm for graph coloring, it is hard and time-consuming too. In this paper, a new algorithm for vertex coloring, edge coloring an...

Matrix Model Combinatorics: Applications to Folding and Coloring

We present a detailed study of the combinatorial interpretation of matrix integrals, including the examples of tessellations of arbitrary genera, and loop models on random surfaces. After reviewing their methods of solution, we apply these to the study of various folding problems arising from physics, including: the meander (or polymer folding) problem “enumeration of all topologically inequiva...

Just chromatic exellence in fuzzy graphs

A fuzzy graph is a symmetric binary fuzzy relation on a fuzzy subset. The concept of fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations was introduced by L.A.Zadeh in 1965cite{zl} and further studiedcite{ka}. It was Rosenfeldcite{ra} who considered fuzzy relations on fuzzy sets and developed the theory of fuzzy graphs in 1975. The concepts of fuzzy trees, blocks, bridges and cut nodes in fuzzy graph has been studi...

-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2

For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...

On the Maximum Number of Dominating Classes in Graph Coloring

In this paper we investigate the dominating- -color number،  of a graph G. That is the maximum number of color classes that are also dominating when G is colored using colors. We show that where is the join of G and H. This result allows us to construct classes of graphs such that and thus provide some information regarding two questions raised in [1] and [2].
