We first prove that for any graph G with a positive vertex weight function w, there exists a graph H with a positive weight function w′ such that w(v) = w′(v) for all vertices v in G and whose w′-median is G. This is a generalization of a previous result for the case in which all weights are 1. The second result is that for any n-tournament T without transmitters, there exists an integer m ≤ 2n...

A digraph obtained by replacing each edge of a complete p-partite graph by an arc or a pair of mutually opposite arcs with the same end vertices is called a semicom-plete p-partite digraph, or just a semicomplete multipartite digraph. A semicomplete multipartite digraph with no cycle of length two is a multipartite tournament. In a digraph D, an r-king is a vertex q such that every vertex in D ...

Syntagmatic fixedness is an important feature of multi-word expressions (MWE). However, syntagmatic fixedness is gradual and various semantic and syntactic relations hold among the parts of MWEs. This poses intriguing problems for lexicography, linguistic description and language processing. In this paper we propose a computationally inexpensive and intuitive approach to the measurement of synt...

This article concerns the general functional features of an adjective in modern English, and in particular multistate lexical item “just”, which carries different meanings in different variants of combinatorics. The authors analyze the combinations used with the adjectival lexeme item “just” and reveal the categories that determine the degree of semantic content of each given statement. The nee...
