Unique Prime Cartesian Factorization of Graphs over Finite Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
A fundamental result, due to Sabidussi and Vizing, states that every connected graph has a unique prime factorization relative to the Cartesian product; but disconnected graphs are not uniquely prime factorable. This paper describes a system of modular arithmetic on graphs under which both connected and disconnected graphs have unique prime Cartesian factorizations.

Strong Products of Hypergraphs: Unique Prime Factorization Theorems and Algorithms
It is well-known that all finite connected graphs have a unique prime factor decomposition (PFD) with respect to the strong graph product which can be computed in polynomial time. Essential for the PFD computation is the construction of the so-called Cartesian skeleton of the graphs under investigation. In this contribution, we show that every connected thin hypergraph H has a unique prime fact...
متن کاملThe Automorphism Group of a Product of Graphs
In a recent paper we showed that every connected graph can be written as a weak cartesian product of a family of indecomposable rooted graphs and that this decomposition is unique to within isomorphisms. Using this unique prime factorization theorem we prove that if a graph X can be written as a product of connected rooted graphs, which are pairwise relatively prime, then the automorphism group...
متن کاملOn Cartesian skeletons of graphs
Under suitable conditions of connectivity or non-bipartiteness, each of the three standard graph products (the Cartesian product, the direct product and the strong product) satisfies the unique prime factorization property, and there are polynomial algorithms to determine the prime factors. This is most easily proved for the Cartesian product. For the other products, current proofs involve a no...
متن کاملStructure of finite wavelet frames over prime fields
This article presents a systematic study for structure of finite wavelet frames over prime fields. Let $p$ be a positive prime integer and $mathbb{W}_p$ be the finite wavelet group over the prime field $mathbb{Z}_p$. We study theoretical frame aspects of finite wavelet systems generated by subgroups of the finite wavelet group $mathbb{W}_p$.
متن کاملThe Cartesian product of hypergraphs
We show that every simple, (weakly) connected, possibly directed and infinite, hypergraph has a unique prime factor decomposition with respect to the (weak) Cartesian product, even if it has infinitely many factors. This generalizes previous results for graphs and undirected hypergraphs to directed and infinite hypergraphs. The proof adopts the strategy outlined by Imrich and Žerovnik for the c...
