Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) ⊆ R = k[x1, . . . , xn] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the Alexander dual of I(G) is componentwise linear. Our result complements Faridi’s theorem that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and impl...

Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices, and let I(G) ⊆ R = k[x 1 ,. .. , x n ] denote its associated edge ideal. We show that all chordal graphs G are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay; our proof depends upon showing that the Alexander dual of I(G) is componentwise linear. Our result complements Faridi's theorem that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay and He...

Let (P,≺) be a finite poset and let G be its comparability graph. If cl(G) is the clutter of maximal cliques of G, we prove that cl(G) satisfies the maxflow min-cut property and that its edge ideal is normally torsion free. We prove that edge ideals of complete admissible uniform clutters are normally torsion free. The normality of a monomial ideal is expressed in terms of blocking polyhedra an...

Given an arbitrary graph G, we study the basic covers algebra Ā(G), which is the symbolic fiber cone of the Alexander dual of the edge ideal of G. Extending results of Villarreal and Benedetti–Constantinescu–Varbaro, valid only in the case when G is bipartite, we characterize in a combinatorial fashion the situations when: 1) Ā(G) is a domain, and 2) Ā(G) is a domain and in addition (the edge i...

‎A recent result due to Ha and Van Tuyl proved that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the quotient ring $R/I(G)$ is at most matching number of $G$‎, ‎denoted by match$(G)$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we provide a generalization of this result for powers of edge ideals‎. ‎More precisely‎, ‎we show that for every graph $G$ and every $sgeq 1$‎, ‎$${rm reg}( R‎/ ‎I(G)^{s})leq (2s-1) |E(G)|^{s-1} {rm ma...

We have solved the governing equations for the buckling of rectangular functionally graded plates which one of its edges has small non-zero deflection and moment. For the case that the material properties obey a power law in the thickness direction, an analytical solution is obtained using the perturbation series. The applied in-plane load is assumed to be perpendicular to the edge which has no...
