The monochromatic block number

نویسنده

  • Lorenzo Milazzo
چکیده

In 1993 Voloshin introduced the concept of mixed hypergraph. A mixed hypergraph is characterised by the fact that it possesses anti-edges as well as edges. In a colouring of a mixed hypergraph, every anti-edge has at least two vertices of the same colour. In this paper a new parameter is introduced: the monochromatic block number mb. It is the number of monochromatic blocks in a colouring of a Steiner system. The exact value of mb is given for every colouring in STS(v). Upper and lower bounds for mb in particular SQSs are found.

Finding Patterns Avoiding Many Monochromatic Constellations

Given fixed 0 = q0 < q1 < q2 < · · · < qk = 1 a constellation in [n] is a scaled translated realization of the qi with all elements in [n], i.e., p, p + q1d, p + q2d, . . . , p + qk−1d, p + d. We consider the problem of minimizing the number of monochromatic constellations in a two coloring of [n]. We show how given a coloring based on a block pattern how to find the number of monochromatic sol...

Strict colourings for classes of steiner triple systems

We investigate the largest number of colours, called upper chromatic number and denoted ~(Jf), that can be assigned to the vertices (points) of a Steiner triple system J f in such a way that every block H E 9~ contains at least two vertices of the same colour. The exact value of ~ is determined for some classes of triple systems, and it is observed further that optimal colourings with the same ...

Monochromatic 4-term arithmetic progressions in 2-colorings of Zn

This paper is motivated by a recent result of Wolf [12] on the minimum number of monochromatic 4-term arithmetic progressions (4-APs, for short) in Zp, where p is a prime number. Wolf proved that there is a 2-coloring of Zp with 0.000386% fewer monochromatic 4-APs than random 2-colorings; the proof is probabilistic and non-constructive. In this paper, we present an explicit and simple construct...

On monochromatic subgraphs of edge-colored complete graphs

In a red-blue coloring of a nonempty graph, every edge is colored red or blue. If the resulting edge-colored graph contains a nonempty subgraph G without isolated vertices every edge of which is colored the same, then G is said to be monochromatic. For two nonempty graphs G and H without isolated vertices, the monochromatic Ramsey number mr(G,H) of G and H is the minimum integer n such that eve...

Binary Image Compression via Monochromatic Pattern Substitution: A Sequential Speed-Up

A method for compressing binary images is monochromatic pattern substitution. Monochromatic rectangles inside the image are detected and compressed by a variable length code. Such method has no relevant loss of compression effectiveness if the image is partitioned into up to a thousand blocks and each block is compressed independently. Therefore, it can be implemented in parallel on both small ...
