چکیده

Given a polyhedron P by a list of inequalities we develop unbiased estimates of the number of vertices and bases of P . The estimates are based on applying tree estimation methods to the reverse search technique. The time to generate an unbiased estimate is essentially bounded by the time taken to solve a linear program on P with the simplex method. Computational experience is reported. The method can be applied to estimate the output size of other enumeration problems solvable by reverse search.  2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF TETRAAQUA [2,9 -DIFORMYL- 1,10 PHENANTHROLINE BIS (SEMICARBAZONE)] CERIUM(III) PERCHLORATE, [Ce(PHENSC(H O) ] (CLO )

The complex of Ce(III), [ Ce (PHENSC) (H 0) ] (C10 ) , was synthesized using the PHENSC, a hexadentate ligand,2,9-diformyl-1,lO- Phenanthroline bis (semicarbazone), and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The cerium atom has an unusual coordination number of ten involving six donor atoms of the planar ligand in the equatorial plane and four oxygen atoms from four axial water molecules. The...

$k$-tuple total restrained domination/domatic in graphs

‎For any integer $kgeq 1$‎, ‎a set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a $k$-‎tuple total dominating set of $G$ if any vertex‎ ‎of $G$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $S$‎, ‎and any vertex‎ ‎of $V-S$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $V-S$‎. ‎The minimum number of vertices of such a set‎ ‎in $G$ we call the $k$-tuple total restrained domination number of $G$‎. ‎The maximum num...

MORE GRAPHS WHOSE ENERGY EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF VERTICES

The energy E(G) of a graph G is equal to the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. Several classes of graphs are known that satisfy the condition E(G) > n , where n is the number of vertices. We now show that the same property holds for (i) biregular graphs of degree a b , with q quadrangles, if q<= abn/4 and 5<=a < b = 0 (iii) triregular graphs of degree 1, a, b that are quadran...

Paired-Domination Game Played in Graphs

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...

On reverse degree distance of unicyclic graphs

The reverse degree distance of a connected graph $G$ is defined in discrete mathematical chemistry as [ r (G)=2(n-1)md-sum_{uin V(G)}d_G(u)D_G(u), ] where $n$, $m$ and $d$ are the number of vertices, the number of edges and the diameter of $G$, respectively, $d_G(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$, $D_G(u)$ is the sum of distance between vertex $u$ and all other vertices of $G$, and $V(G)$ is the...
