On Zero-Sum Spanning Trees and Zero-Sum Connectivity

چکیده
We consider $2$-colourings $f : E(G) \rightarrow \{ -1 ,1 \}$ of the edges a graph $G$ with colours $-1$ and $1$ in $\mathbb{Z}$. A subgraph $H$ is said to be zero-sum under $f$ if $f(H) := \sum_{e\in E(H)} f(e) =0$. study following type questions, several cases obtaining best possible results: Under which conditions on $|f(G)|$ can we guarantee existence spanning tree $G$? The types are complete graphs, $K_3$-free $d$-trees, maximal planar graphs. also answer question when any such colouring contains path or diameter at most $3$, showing passing that diameter-$3$ condition possible. Finally, give, for $G = K_n$, sharp bound $|f(K_n)|$ by an interesting connectivity property forced, namely two vertices joined length $4$.

On Zero-Sum and Almost Zero-Sum Subgraphs Over ℤ
For a graph H with at most n vertices and a weighing of the edges of Kn with integers, we seek a copy of H in Kn whose weight is minimal, possibly even zero. Of a particular interest are the cases where H is a spanning subgraph (or an almost spanning subgraph) and the case where H is a fixed graph. In particular, we show that relatively balanced weighings of Kn with {−r, . . . , r} guarantee al...
متن کاملOn Short Zero-sum Subsequences of Zero-sum Sequences
Abstract. Let G be a finite abelian group, and let η(G) be the smallest integer d such that every sequence over G of length at least d contains a zero-sum subsequence T with length |T | ∈ [1, exp(G)]. In this paper, we investigate the question whether all non-cyclic finite abelian groups G share with the following property: There exists at least one integer t ∈ [exp(G)+1, η(G)− 1] such that eve...
متن کاملOn Zero - Sum Problems
Let G be an additive abelian group. The zero-sum problem for G asks for the least positive integer k such that for any a1, · · · , ak ∈ G there is an I ⊆ {1, · · · , k} of required cardinality satisfying ∑ i∈I ai = 0. In this talk we will introduce the famous theorem of P. Erdős, A. Ginzburg and A. Ziv (for G = Zn), and recent results of L. Rónya on the Kemnitz conjecture concerning the group Z...
متن کاملZero-Sum Ascending Waves
A sequence of positive integers a1 ≤ a2 ≤ . . . ≤ an is called an ascending monotone wave of length n, if ai+1−ai ≥ ai−ai−1 for i = 2, . . . , n−1. If ai+1−ai > ai−ai−1 for all i = 2, . . . , n−1 the sequence is called an ascending strong monotone wave of length n. Let Zk denote the cyclic group of order k. If k | n, then we define MW (n,Zk) as the least integer m such that for any coloring f :...
متن کاملZero-sum Square Matrices
Let A be a matrix over the integers, and let p be a positive integer. A submatrix B of A is zero-sum mod p if the sum of each row of B and the sum of each column of B is a multiple of p. Let M(p, k) denote the least integer m for which every square matrix of order at least m has a square submatrix of order k which is zero-sum mod p. In this paper we supply upper and lower bounds for M(p, k). In...
