Vertex and edge expansion properties for rapid mixing

Vertex and edge expansion properties for rapid mixing

We show a strict hierarchy among various edge and vertex expansion properties of Markov chains. This gives easy proofs of a range of bounds, both classical and new, on chi-square distance, spectral gap and mixing time. The 2-gradient is then used to give an isoperimetric proof that a random walk on the grid [k] mixes in time O∗(k2 n).

Edge-coloring Vertex-weightings of Graphs

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple, finite and undirected graph of order $n$. A $k$-vertex weightings of a graph $G$ is a mapping $w: V(G) to {1, ldots, k}$. A $k$-vertex weighting induces an edge labeling $f_w: E(G) to N$ such that $f_w(uv)=w(u)+w(v)$. Such a labeling is called an {it edge-coloring k-vertex weightings} if $f_{w}(e)not= f_{w}(echr(chr(chr('39')39chr('39'))39chr(chr('39')39chr('39'...

Bounds for the Regularity of Edge Ideal of Vertex Decomposable and Shellable Graphs

Edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of Some Benzenoid Systems

The edge version of Szeged index and vertex version of PI index are defined very recently. They are similar to edge-PI and vertex-Szeged indices, respectively. The different versions of Szeged and PIindices are the most important topological indices defined in Chemistry. In this paper, we compute the edge-Szeged and vertex-PIindices of some important classes of benzenoid systems.

Vertex and Edge Covers with Clustering Properties: Complexity and Algorithms

We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t ≥ 1), which generalize the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total vertex (respectively edge) cover of a connected graph G is a vertex (edge) cover S of G such that each connected component of the subgraph of G induced by S has least t vertices (edges). These definitions are motivated by ...
