Maximal Pivots on Graphs with an Application to Gene Assembly
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider principal pivot transform (pivot) on graphs. We define a natural operation, called dual pivot, and show that both the kernel and the set of maximally applicable pivots of a graph is invariant under this operation. The result is motivated by and applicable to the theory of gene assembly in ciliates.

متن کاملOn the saturation number of graphs
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. A matching $M$ is maximal if it cannot be extended to a larger matching in $G$. The cardinality of any smallest maximal matching in $G$ is the saturation number of $G$ and is denoted by $s(G)$. In this paper we study the saturation numbe...
متن کاملLine graphs associated to the maximal graph
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. Let $G(R)$ denote the maximal graph associated to $R$, i.e., $G(R)$ is a graph with vertices as the elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of $R$ containing both. Let $Gamma(R)$ denote the restriction of $G(R)$ to non-unit elements of $R$. In this paper we study the various graphi...
متن کاملBi-objective Optimization for Just in Time Scheduling: Application to the Two-Stage Assembly Flow Shop Problem
This paper considers a two-stage assembly flow shop problem (TAFSP) where m machines are in the first stage and an assembly machine is in the second stage. The objective is to minimize a weighted sum of earliness and tardiness time for n available jobs. JIT seeks to identify and eliminate waste components including over production, waiting time, transportation, inventory, movement and defective...
متن کاملPivots, determinants, and perfect matchings of graphs
We give a characterization of the effect of sequences of pivot operations on a graph by relating it to determinants of adjacency matrices. This allows us to deduce that two sequences of pivot operations are equivalent iff they contain the same set S of vertices (modulo two). Moreover, given a set of vertices S, we characterize whether or not such a sequence using precisely the vertices of S exi...
