چکیده

Certain decompositions of complete directed graphs with loops into collections of closed trails which partition the edge set of the graph give rise to, and arise from, quasigroups. Such decompositions are said to be 2-perfect. The existence of these 2-perfect decompositions in which the closed trails are all of the same length m is examined. In particular, the set of values of n for which the order n complete directed graph with loops can be decomposed into 2-perfect closed trails of length m is determined (with four possible exceptions; two in the case m = 5 and two in the case m = 14) for all m :::; 15.

Complete forcing numbers of polyphenyl systems

The idea of “forcing” has long been used in many research fields, such as colorings, orientations, geodetics and dominating sets in graph theory, as well as Latin squares, block designs and Steiner systems in combinatorics (see [1] and the references therein). Recently, the forcing on perfect matchings has been attracting more researchers attention. A forcing set of M is a subset of M contained...

Spanning Closed Trail and Hamiltonian Cycle in Grid Graphs

In this paper we study a trail routing and a hamiltonian cycle in a class of grid graphs, polycube and polymino. A Spanning closed trail is an eulerian subgraph containing all vertices of a given graph. For general grid graphs we prove that the problem of nding that trail is NP-complete and for a wide subclass of grid graphs, called polymino, we give an optimal algorithm if it exists. For polyc...

The symmetric monoidal closed category of cpo $M$-sets

In this paper, we show that the category of directed complete posets with bottom elements (cpos) endowed with an action of a monoid $M$ on them forms a monoidal category. It is also proved that this category is symmetric closed.

On the oriented perfect path double cover conjecture

‎An  oriented perfect path double cover (OPPDC) of a‎ ‎graph $G$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric‎ ‎orientation $G_s$ of‎ ‎$G$ such that‎ ‎each arc‎ ‎of $G_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each‎ ‎vertex of $G$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an‎ ‎end of a path‎. ‎Maxov{'a} and Ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (Discrete‎ ‎Math‎. ‎276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...

Strongly 2-perfect trail systems and related quasigroups

In a recent paper of the authors the question of for which values of m the quasigroups arising from strongly two 2-perfect m-cycle systems are the finite members of a variety was considered. In comparison with existing results on similar problems, it seems likely that for m prime, we shall fail to get varieties only for those values of m where strongly 2perfect closed m-trail systems which are ...
