چکیده

The theta function of a graph, also known as the Lovv asz number, has the remarkable property of being computable in polynomial time, despite being \sandwiched" between two hard to compute integers, i.e., clique and chromatic number. Very little is known about the explicit value of the theta function for special classes of graphs. In this paper we provide the explicit formula for the Lovv asz number of the union of two cycles, in two special cases, and a practically eecient algorithm, for the general case.

On the one-shot zero-error classical capacity of classical-quantum channels assisted by quantum non-signalling correlations

Duan and Winter studied the one-shot zero-error classical capacity of a quantum channel assisted by quantum non-signalling correlations, and formulated this problem as a semidefinite program depending only on the Kraus operator space of the channel. For the class of classical-quantum channels, they showed that the asymptotic zero-error classical capacity assisted by quantum non-signalling corre...

On the spectral Ádám property for circulant graphs

We investigate a certain condition for isomorphism between circulant graphs (known as the Ad am property) in a stronger form by referring to isospectrality rather than to isomorphism of graphs. We describe a wide class of graphs for which the Ad am conjecture holds. We apply these results to establish an asymptotic formula for the number of non-isomorphic circulant graphs and connected circulan...

The lower bound for the number of 1-factors in generalized Petersen graphs

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate the number of 1-factors of a‎ ‎generalized Petersen graph $P(N,k)$ and get a lower bound for the‎ ‎number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ as $k$ is odd‎, ‎which shows that the‎ ‎number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ is exponential in this case and‎ ‎confirms a conjecture due to Lovász and Plummer (Ann‎. ‎New York Acad‎. ‎Sci‎. ‎576(2006)‎, ‎no‎. ‎1‎, ‎389-398).

On the Enumeration of Circulant Graphs of Prime Power and Square Free Orders

The aim of this work is twofold: to unify, systematize and extend the known results of the analytical (i.e. formula-wise) counting of directed and undirected circulant graphs with a prime or, more generally, square-free number of vertices; to develop a general combinatorial framework for the counting of nonisomorphic circulant graphs with pk vertices, p odd prime, k 2. The general problem of co...
