Lower Bounds on the Transversal Numbers of d-Intervals

چکیده

Let`1 ; ` 2 ; : : : ; ` d be disjoint parallel lines in the plane. A d-interval is a subset of their union that intersects eachì in a closed interval. Kaiser Discr. Comput. Geom. 18(1997) 195{203] showed that any system of d-intervals containing no subsystem of k + 1 pairwise disjoint d-intervals can be pierced by at most (d 2 ? d)k points. We show that this bound is close to being optimal, by proving a lower bound of const(d 2 = log 2 d)k. The construction involves an extension of a construction due to Sgall J. Graph Theory 23(1996) 111{118] of certain systems of set pairs.

Exact maximum coverage probabilities of confidence intervals with increasing bounds for Poisson distribution mean

 ‎A Poisson distribution is well used as a standard model for analyzing count data‎. ‎So the Poisson distribution parameter estimation is widely applied in practice‎. ‎Providing accurate confidence intervals for the discrete distribution parameters is very difficult‎. ‎So far‎, ‎many asymptotic confidence intervals for the mean of Poisson distribution is provided‎. ‎It is known that the coverag...

The Roman domination and domatic numbers of a digraph

A Roman dominating function (RDF) on a digraph $D$ is a function $f: V(D)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $v$ with $f(v)=0$ has an in-neighbor $u$ with $f(u)=2$. The weight of an RDF $f$ is the value $sum_{vin V(D)}f(v)$. The Roman domination number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum weight of an RDF on $D$. A set ${f_1,f_2,dots,f_d}$ of Roman dominating functions on ...
