چکیده
In Graph Theory a number of results were devoted to studying the computational complexity of the number modulo 2 of a graph’s edge set decompositions of various kinds, first of all including its Hamiltonian decompositions, as well as the number modulo 2 of, say, Hamiltonian cycles/paths etc. While the problems of finding a Hamiltonian decomposition and Hamiltonian cycle are NP-complete, counting these objects modulo 2 in polynomial time is yet possible for certain types of regular undirected graphs. Some of the most known examples are the theorems about the existence of an even number of Hamiltonian decompositions in a 4-regular graph and an even number of such decompositions where two given edges e and g belong to different cycles (Thomason, 1978), as well as an even number of Hamiltonian cycles passing through any given edge in a regular odd-degreed graph (Smith’s theorem). The present article introduces a new algebraic technique which generalizes the notion of counting modulo 2 via applying fields of Characteristic 2 and determinants and, for instance, allows to receive a polynomial-time formula for the number modulo 2 of a 4-regular bipartite graph’s Hamiltonian decompositions such that a given edge and a given path of length 2 belong to different Hamiltonian cycles – hence refining/extending (in a computational sense) Thomason’s result for bipartite graphs. This technique also provides a polynomial-time calculation of the number modulo 2 of a graph’s edge set decompositions into simple cycles each containing at least one element of a given set of its edges what is a similar kind of extension of Thomason’s theorem as well. Additionally, it gives a polynomial-time algorithm for the number modulo 2 of a graph’s edge set decompositions into simple paths such that each vertex is an end of exactly one path, as well as the number modulo 2 of such decompositions into odd simple paths and into even simple paths.

On p-semilinear transformations
In this paper, we introduce $p$-semilinear transformations for linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$, discuss initially the elementary properties of $p$-semilinear transformations, make use of it to give some characterizations of linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$. Moreover, we find a one-to-one correspondence between $p$-semiline...
متن کامل0 Fe b 20 09 THE HASSE PRINCIPLE FOR CHÂTELET SURFACES IN CHARACTERISTIC 2
Given any global field k of characteristic 2, we construct a Châtelet surface over k which fails to satisfy the Hasse principle. This failure is due to a Brauer-Manin obstruction. This construction extends a result of Poonen to characteristic 2, thereby showing that the étale-Brauer obstruction is insufficient to explain all failures of the Hasse principle over a global field of any characteris...

متن کاملIsotropy of Orthogonal Involutions
An orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra becoming isotropic over any splitting field of the algebra, becomes isotropic over a finite odd degree extension of the base field (provided that the characteristic of the base field is not 2). Our aim is a proof of the following result, generalizing the hyperbolicity statement of [5]: Theorem 1. Let F be a field of characteristic not 2, A a ...
متن کاملBirational geometry of quadrics in characteristic 2
The theory of quadratic forms can be regarded as studying an important special case of the general problem of birational classification of algebraic varieties. A typical example of a Fano fibration in minimal model theory is a quadric bundle, which can be viewed without loss of information as a quadric hypersurface over the function field of the base variety. This description feeds the problem ...
متن کاملAn Analogous of Jouanolou’s Theorem in Positive Characteristic
We show that a generic vector field on an affine space of positive characteristic admits an invariant algebraic hypersurface. This contrast with Jouanolou’s Theorem that shows that in characteristic zero the situation is completely opposite. That is a generic vector field in the complex plane does not admit any invariant algebraic curve.
