A note on the hardness of Skolem-type sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this note is to give upper bounds (assuming P different from NP) on how far the generalizations of Skolem sequences can be taken while still hoping to resolve the existence question. We prove that the existence questions for both multi Skolem sequences and generalized Skolem sequences are strongly NP-complete. These results are significant strengthenings and simplifications of the recent NP-completeness result for generalized multi Skolem sequences.

A note on X-rays of permutations and a problem of Brualdi and Fritscher
The subject of this note is a challenging conjecture about X-rays of permutations which is a special case of a conjecture regarding Skolem sequences. In relation to this, Brualdi and Fritscher [Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2014] posed the following problem: Determine a bijection between extremal Skolem sets and binary Hankel X-rays of permutation matrices. We give such a bijection, alon...
متن کاملNote on regular and coregular sequences
Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring and let M be a nitely generated R-module. If I is an ideal of R generated by M-regular sequence, then we study the vanishing of the rst Tor functors. Moreover, for Artinian modules and coregular sequences we examine the vanishing of the rst Ext functors.
متن کاملExponential lower bounds for the numbers of Skolem-type sequences
It was shown by Abrham that the number of pure Skolem sequences of order n, n ≡ 0 or 1 (mod 4), and the number of extended Skolem sequences of order n, are both bounded below by 2bn/3c. These results are extended to give similar lower bounds for the numbers of hooked Skolem sequences, split Skolem sequences and split-hooked Skolem sequences.
متن کاملSkolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs
In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...
متن کاملThe Causes of Local Hardness Increasing in Powerplant Rotors and its Modification by Tempering (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Local hardness increasing on the surface of the power plant rotor may result in severe damages. One major solution for rapid repairing of the rotors is the adaptive tempering heat treatment. For this purpose, after identification of the damaged rotor, initial investigations and tests (such as visual inspection, chemical analysis, nondestructive hardness measurements and replica or on-site metal...
