The general symplectic graph Sp(2, q) is introduced. It is shown that Sp(2, q) is strongly regular. Its parameters are computed, its chromatic number and group of graph automorphis...
Abstract. We show that the tree-width of a graph can be defined without reference to graph vertices, and hence the notion of tree-width can be naturally extended to matroids. (This...
: Two transformations are constructed that map the permutation group onto a well-defined subset of a partially commutative monoid generated by the so-called oiseaux. Those transfor...
Let g(n, r) be the maximum possible cardinality of a family F of subsets of {1, 2, . . . , n} so that given a union of at most r members of F, one can identify at least one of the...
Abstract. We start with a bijective proof of Schur's theorem due to Alladi and Gordon and describe how a particular iteration of it leads to some very general theorems on colo...
