ODD Updated

An update to Volker Grimm and colleagues' Overview, Design concepts and Details (ODD) protocol for documenting individual and agent based models (I/ABM) has recently been published in Ecological Modelling. This renames the 'State variables and scales' element to 'Entities, state variables and scales', and the 'Input' element to 'Input data', introduces two new Design concepts ('Basic principles...

Updated constraints from radiative Υ decays on a light CP - odd

The possible existence of a light CP-odd Higgs state in many new-physics models could lead to observable effects in the bottomonium sector. Experimental bounds on radiative Υ decays through such a pseudoscalar state and possible mixings with the η b states are reviewed. Combining these two effects, we set constraints on the properties of the CP-odd Higgs in the limit of small photon energy of B...

Odd Independent Transversals are Odd

We put the final piece into a puzzle first introduced by Bollobás, Erdős and Szemerédi in 1975. For arbitrary positive integers n and r we determine the largest integer ∆ = ∆(r, n), for which any r-partite graph with partite sets of size n and of maximum degree less than ∆ has an independent transversal. This value was known for all even r. Here we determine the value for odd r and find that ∆(...

Skolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs

In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...
