The chromatic sum Σ(G) of a graph G is the smallest sum of colors among of proper coloring with the natural number. In this paper, we introduce a necessary condition for the existence of graph homomorphisms. Also, we present Σ(G) < χf (G)|G| for every graph G.

We consider the complexity of oriented homomorphism and two of its variants, namely strong oriented homomorphism and pushable homomorphism, for planar graphs with large girth. In each case, we consider the smallest target graph such that the corresponding homomorphism is NP-complete. These target graphs T4, T5, and T6 have 4, 5, and 6 vertices, respectively. For i ∈ {4, 5, 6} and for every g, w...

Mathieu and Ruddy proved that if be a unital spectral isometry from a unital C*-algebra Aonto a unital type I C*-algebra B whose primitive ideal space is Hausdorff and totallydisconnected, then is Jordan isomorphism. The aim of this note is to show that if be asurjective spectrum preserving additive map, then is a Jordan isomorphism without the extraassumption totally disconnected.

We study relational structures (especially graphs and posets) which satisfy the analogue of homogeneity but for homomorphisms rather than isomorphisms. The picture is rather different. Our main results are partial characterisations of countable graphs and posets with this property; an analogue of Fraı̈ssé’s Theorem; and representations of monoids as endomorphism monoids of such structures. ∗This...

This paper introduces accumulation into list homomorphisms for systematic development of both efficient and correct parallel programs. New parallelizable recursive pattern called H-homomorphism is given, and transformations from sequential patterns in the H-form and Hform into (H-)homomorphism are shown. We illustrate the power of our formalization by developing a novel and general parallel pro...
