Using the Luthar–Passi method and results of Hertweck, we study the long-standing conjecture of Zassenhaus for integral group rings of alternating groups An, n ≤ 8. As a consequence of our results, we confirm the Kimmerle’s conjecture about prime graphs for those groups.

Qinghua Feng School of Science Shandong university of technology Zhangzhou Road 12#, Zibo , Shandong, 255049 China [email protected] Abstract: Based on the concept of decomposition, two alternating group explicit methods are constructed for 1D convection-diffusion equation with variable coefficient and 2D diffusion equations respectively. Both the two methods have the property of unconditional sta...

We call a permutation parity alternating, if its entries assume even and odd integers alternately. Parity alternating permutations form a subgroup of the symmetric group. This paper deals with such permutations classified by two permutation statistics; the numbers of ascents and inversions. It turns out that they have a close relationship to signed Eulerian numbers. The approach is based on a s...

In this paper, we present a four order unconditionally stable implicit scheme for hyperbolic equations. Based on the scheme and the concept of decomposition a class of parallel alternating group explicit (AGE) iterative method is derived, and convergence analysis is given. In order to verify the AGE iterative method, we give an example at the end of the paper.

In this paper we introduce a new construction for generalized Bhaskar Rao designs. Using this construction, we show that a generalized Bhaskar Rao design, GBRD(v, 3, A; A4) exists if and only if A == 0 (mod 12).

In this paper we study finite, connected, 4-valent graphs X which admit an action of a group G which is transitive on vertices and edges, but not transitive on the arcs of X. Such a graph X is said to be (G, 1 2)-transitive. The group G induces an orientation of the edges of X, and a certain class of cycles of X (called alternating cycles) determined by the group G is identified as having an im...
