چکیده

Riis [Electron. J. Combin., 14(1):R44, 2007] introduced a guessing game for graphs which is equivalent to finding protocols for network coding. In this paper we prove upper and lower bounds for the winning probability of the guessing game on undirected graphs. We find optimal bounds for perfect graphs and minimally imperfect graphs, and present a conjecture relating the exact value for all graphs to the fractional chromatic number.

Guessing Games on Triangle-Free Graphs

The guessing game introduced by Riis [Electron. J. Combin. 2007] is a variant of the “guessing your own hats” game and can be played on any simple directed graph G on n vertices. For each digraph G, it is proved that there exists a unique guessing number gn(G) associated to the guessing game played on G. When we consider the directed edge to be bidirected, in other words, the graph G is undirec...

Intersection graphs associated with semigroup acts

The intersection graph $mathbb{Int}(A)$ of an $S$-act $A$ over a semigroup $S$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are non-trivial subacts of $A$, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a non-empty intersection. In this paper, we study some graph-theoretic properties of $mathbb{Int}(A)$ in connection to some algebraic properties of $A$. It is proved that the fi...

NILPOTENT GRAPHS OF MATRIX ALGEBRAS

Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The undirected nilpotent graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma_N(R)$, is a graph with vertex set ~$Z_N(R)^* = {0neq x in R | xy in N(R) for some y in R^*}$, and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy in N(R)$, or equivalently, $yx in N(R)$, where $N(R)$ denoted the nilpotent elements of $R$. Recently, it has been proved that if $R$ is a left A...

THE ORDER GRAPHS OF GROUPS

Let $G$ be a group. The order graph of $G$ is the (undirected)graph $Gamma(G)$,those whose vertices are non-trivial subgroups of $G$ and two distinctvertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if either$o(H)|o(K)$ or $o(K)|o(H)$. In this paper, we investigate theinterplay between the group-theoretic properties of $G$ and thegraph-theoretic properties of $Gamma(G)$. For a finite group$G$, we s...
