The minus k-domination numbers in graphs
For any integer , a minus k-dominating function is afunction f : V (G) {-1,0, 1} satisfying w) for every vertex v, where N(v) ={u V(G) | uv E(G)} and N[v] =N(v)cup {v}. The minimum of the values of v), taken over all minusk-dominating functions f, is called the minus k-dominationnumber and is denoted by $gamma_k^-(G)$ . In this paper, we introduce the study of minu...
متن کاملOn the square root of quadratic matrices
Here we present a new approach to calculating the square root of a quadratic matrix. Actually, the purpose of this article is to show how the Cayley-Hamilton theorem may be used to determine an explicit formula for all the square roots of $2times 2$ matrices.
متن کاملthe minus k-domination numbers in graphs
for any integer $kge 1$, a minus $k$-dominating function is a function $f : v (g)rightarrow {-1,0, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{winn[v]} f(w)ge k$ for every $vin v(g)$, where $n(v) ={u inv(g)mid uvin e(g)}$ and $n[v] =n(v)cup {v}$. the minimum ofthe values of $sum_{vin v(g)}f(v)$, taken over all minus$k$-dominating functions $f$, is called the minus $k$-dominationnumber and i...
متن کاملThe Square Root of NOT
Digital computers are built out of circuits that have definite, discrete states: on or off, zero or one, high voltage or low voltage. Engineers go to great lengths to make sure these circuits never settle into some intermediate condition. Quantum-mechanical systems, as it happens, offer a guarantee of discreteness without any engineering effort at all. When you measure the spin orientation of a...
متن کاملMinus edge k-subdomination numbers in graphs
The closed neighborhood NG[e] of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of e and of all edges having a common end-vertex with e. Let f be a function on E(G), the edge set of G, into the set {−1, 0, 1}. If ∑ x∈N [e] f(x) ≥ 1 for at least k edges e of G, then f is called a minus edge k-subdominating function of G. The minimum of the values ∑ e∈E(G) f(e), taken over all minus edge k-subdomin...
