For a positive integer k, a k-subdominating function of G=(V; E) is a function f :V → {−1; 1} such that the sum of the function values, taken over closed neighborhoods of vertices, is at least one for at least k vertices of G. The sum of the function values taken over all vertices is called the aggregate of f and the minimum aggregate among all k-subdominating functions of G is the k-subdominat...

It is shown that symplectic and orthogonal Schur functions can be realized by the action of the modes of certain vertex operators on the function 1. The properties of these vertex operators allow one to reproduce the basic propreties of these types of symmetric functions. The vertex operator modes are shown to obey free fermionic relations which provides applications such as calculating product...

a set $s$ of vertices in a graph $g=(v,e)$ is called a total$k$-distance dominating set if every vertex in $v$ is withindistance $k$ of a vertex in $s$. a graph $g$ is total $k$-distancedomination-critical if $gamma_{t}^{k} (g - x) < gamma_{t}^{k}(g)$ for any vertex $xin v(g)$. in this paper,we investigate some results on total $k$-distance domination-critical of graphs.

A construction is given for an infinite family {0n} of finite vertex-transitive non-Cayley graphs of fixed valency with the property that the order of the vertex-stabilizer in the smallest vertex-transitive group of automorphisms of 0n is a strictly increasing function of n. For each n the graph is 4-valent and arc-transitive, with automorphism group a symmetric group of large prime degree p> 2...

The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ is the maximum distance between $v$ and anyother vertex. A vertex with maximum eccentricity is called a peripheral vertex.The peripheral Wiener index $ PW(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum ofthe distances between all pairs of peripheral vertices of $G.$ In this paper, weinitiate the study of the peripheral Wiener index and we investigate its basicproperti...

Ohta proposed a solution for the well-known difficulty of satisfying the WardTakahashi identity for a photo-meson-baryon-baryon amplitude (γMBB) when a dressed meson-baryon-baryon (MBB) vertex function is present. He obtained a form for the γMBB amplitude which contained, in addition to the usual pole terms, longitudinal seagull terms which were determined entirely by the MBB vertex function. H...

In this article, we prove that the height function associated with square-ice model (i.e. six-vertex $$a=b=c=1$$ on square lattice), or, equivalently, of uniform random homomorphisms from $$\mathbb {Z}^2$$ to {Z}$$ , has logarithmic variance. This establishes a strong form roughness function.
