Cliques in Steiner Systems

چکیده
A partial Steiner (k, l)-system is a k-uniform hypergraph G with the property that every l-element subset of V is contained in at most one edge of G . In this paper we show that for given k, l and t there exists a partial Steiner (k, l)-system such that whenever an l-element subset from every edge is chosen, the resulting l-uniform hypergraph contains a clique of size t. As the main result of this note, we establish asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the size of such cliques with respect to the order of Steiner systems. c ©2009 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of Sciences

On Cliques in Spanning Graphs of Projective Steiner Triple Systems
We are interested in what sizes of cliques are to be found in any arbitrary spanning graph of a Steiner triple system S. In this paper we investigate spanning graphs of projective Steiner triple systems, proving, not surprisingly, that for any positive integer k and any sufficiently large projective Steiner triple system S, every spanning graph of S contains a clique of size k.
متن کاملClique Partitions of Dense Graphs
In this paper, we prove that for any forest F ⊂ Kn, the edges of E(Kn)\E(F ) can be partitioned into O(n log n) cliques. This extends earlier results on clique partitions of the complement of a perfect matching and of a hamiltonian path in Kn. We also show that if a graph G has maximum degree 4, then the edges of E(Kn)\E(G) can be partitioned into roughly n 3 24 1 2 log n cliques provided there...
متن کاملCliques Role in Organizational Reputational Influence: A Social Network Analysis
Empirical support for the assumption that cliques are major determinants of reputational influence derives largely from the frequent finding that organizations which claimed that their cliques’ connections are influential had an increased likelihood of becoming influential themselves. It is suggested that the strong and consistent connection in cliques is at least partially responsible for the ...
متن کاملCLIQUES: A New Approach to Group Key Agreement
This paper considers the problem of key agreement in a group setting with highly-dynamic group member population. A protocol suite, called CLIQUES, is developed by extending the well-known Di e-Hellman key agreement method to support dynamic group operations. Constituent protocols are provably secure and e cient.
متن کاملPacking Edge-Disjoint Triangles in Given Graphs
Given a graph G, we consider the problem of finding the largest set of edge-disjoint triangles contained in G. We show that even the simpler case of decomposing the edges of a sparse split graph G into edge-disjoint triangles is NP-complete. We show next that the case of a general G can be approximated within a factor of 3 5 in polynomial time, and is NP-hard to approximate within some constant...
