Structural properties of CKI-digraphs

چکیده

A kernel of a digraph is a set of vertices which is both independent and absorbant. Let D be a digraph such that every proper induced subdigraph has a kernel. If D has a kernel, then D is kernel perfect, otherwise D is critical kernel-imperfect (for short CKI-digraph). In this work we prove that if a CKI-digraph D is not 2-arc connected, then D − a is kernel perfect for any bridge a of D. If D has no kernel but for all vertex x, D − x has a kernel, then D is called kernel critical. We give conditions on a kernel critical digraph D so that for all x ∈ V (D) the kernel of D− x has at least two vertices. Concerning asymmetric digraphs, we show that every vertex u of an asymmetric CKI-digraph D on n ≥ 5 vertices satisfies d(u) + d−(u) ≤ n− 3 and d(u), d−(u) ≤ n− 5. As a consequence, we establish that there are exactly four asymmetric CKI-digraphs on n ≤ 7 vertices. Furthermore, we study the maximum order of a subtournament contained in a not necessarily asymmetric CKI-digraph.

THE RELATION BETWEEN TOPOLOGICAL ORDERING AND ADJACENCY MATRIX IN DIGRAPHS

In this paper the properties of node-node adjacency matrix in acyclic digraphs are considered. It is shown that topological ordering and node-node adjacency matrix are closely related. In fact, first the one to one correspondence between upper triangularity of node-node adjacency matrix and existence of directed cycles in digraphs is proved and then with this correspondence other properties of ...

The Iteration Digraphs of Lambert Map Over the Local Ring $mathbb{Z}/p^kmathbb{Z}$ : Structures and Enumerations

Let $p$ be prime and $alpha:x mapsto xg^x$, the Discrete Lambert Map. For $kgeq 1,$ let $ V = {0, 1, 2, . . . , p^k-1}$. The iteration digraph is a directed graph with $V$ as the vertex set and there is a unique directed edge from $u$ to $alpha(u)$ for each $uin V.$ We denote this digraph by $G(g, p^{k}),$ where $gin (mathbb{Z}/p^kmathbb{Z})^*.$  In this piece of work, we investigate the struct...

More skew-equienergetic digraphs

Two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if their skew energies are equal. One of the open problems proposed by Li and Lian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs on n vertices. Recently this problem was solved by Ramane et al. In this  paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergetic digraphs.

Cloning and characterization of the yeast CKI gene encoding choline kinase and its expression in Escherichia coli.

Using a mutant defective in choline kinase (Hosaka, K., and Yamashita, S. (1980) J. Bacteriol. 143, 176-181; Hosaka, K., and Yamashita, S. (1987) Eur. J. Biochem. 162, 7-13), the structural gene (CKI) for choline kinase of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was isolated by means of genetic complementation. Within its sequence there was an open reading frame capable of encoding 582 amino acids...

A phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-sensitive casein kinase I alpha associates with synaptic vesicles and phosphorylates a subset of vesicle proteins

In interphase cells, alpha-casein kinase I (alpha-CKI) is found associated with cytosolic vesicular structures, the centrosome, and within the nucleus. To identify the specific vesicular structures with which alpha-CKI is associated, established cell lines and primary rat neurons were immunofluorescently labeled with an antibody raised to alpha-CKI. In nonneuronal cells, alpha-CKI colocalizes w...
