چکیده

For a rooted graph G, let EVb(G; p) be the expected number of vertices reachable from the root when each edge has an independent probability p of operating successfully. We determine the expected value of EVb(G; p) for random trees, and include a connection to unrooted trees. We also consider rooted digraphs, computing the expected value of a random orientation of a rooted graph G in terms of EVb(G; p). We consider optimal location of the root vertex for the class of grid graphs, and we also briefly discuss a polynomial that incorporates vertex failure.

Generating unlabeled connected cubic planar graphs uniformly at random

We present an expected polynomial time algorithm to generate an unlabeled connected cubic planar graph uniformly at random. We first consider rooted connected cubic planar graphs, i.e., we count connected cubic planar graphs up to isomorphisms that fix a certain directed edge. Based on decompositions along the connectivity structure, we derive recurrence formulas for the exact number of rooted ...

When bad things happen to good trees

When the edges in a tree or rooted tree fail with a certain fixed probability, the (greedoid) rank may drop. We compute the expected rank as a polynomial in p and as a real number under the assumption of uniform distribution. We obtain several different expressions for this expected rank polynomial for both trees and rooted trees, one of which is especially simple in each case. We also prove tw...

Expected Value Expansions in Rooted Graphs

When G is a rooted graph where each edge may independently succeed with probability p, we consider the expected number of vertices in the operational component of G containing the root. This expected value EV (G;p) is a polynomial in p. We present several distinct equivalent formulations of EV (G;p), unifying prior treatments of this topic. We use results on network resilience (introduced by Co...

k-Protected Vertices in Unlabeled Rooted Plane Trees

We find a simple, closed formula for the proportion of vertices which are k -protected in all unlabeled rooted plane trees on n vertices. We also find that, as n goes to infinity, the average rank of a random vertex in a tree of size n approaches 0.727649, and the average rank of the root of a tree of size n approaches 1.62297.

EXPECTED PAYOFF OF TRADING STRATEGIES INVOLVING EUROPEAN OPTIONS FOR FUZZY FINANCIAL MARKET

Uncertainty inherent in the financial market was usually consid- ered to be random. However, randomness is only one special type of uncer- tainty and appropriate when describing objective information. For describing subjective information it is preferred to assume that uncertainty is fuzzy. This paper defines the expected payoof trading strategies in a fuzzy financial market within the framewor...
