Identifying Graph Automorphisms Using Determining Sets
نویسنده
چکیده
A set of vertices S is a determining set for a graph G if every automorphism of G is uniquely determined by its action on S. The determining number of a graph is the size of a smallest determining set. This paper describes ways of finding and verifying determining sets, gives natural lower bounds on the determining number, and shows how to use orbits to investigate determining sets. Further, determining sets of Kneser graphs are extensively studied, sharp bounds for their determining numbers are provided, and all Kneser graphs with determining number 2, 3, or 4 are given.

Parallel Jobs Scheduling with a Specific Due Date: Asemi-definite Relaxation-based Algorithm
This paper considers a different version of the parallel machines scheduling problem in which the parallel jobs simultaneously requirea pre-specifiedjob-dependent number of machines when being processed.This relaxation departs from one of the classic scheduling assumptions. While the analytical conditions can be easily statedfor some simple models, a graph model approach is required when confli...
متن کاملConflict Anticipation in the Search for Graph Automorphisms
Effective search for graph automorphisms allows identifying symmetries in many discrete structures, ranging from chemical molecules to microprocessor circuits. Using this type of structure can enhance visualization as well as speed up computational optimization and verification. Competitive algorithms for the graph automorphism problem are based on efficient partition refinement augmented with ...
متن کاملSum-free sets and shift automorphisms
A sum-free set, A = {a1, a2, . . . , an}, is a subset of an abelian group such that its intersection with the sumset A + A = {aj + ak : aj , ak ∈ A} is empty. For example, the set of odd integers is sum-free. There are a range of interesting—often open—questions that can be asked about these sets: how big can they be? given the set of the first n integers, how many sum-free subsets are there as...
متن کاملRank-determining sets of metric graphs
A metric graph is a geometric realization of a finite graph by identifying each edge with a real interval. A divisor on a metric graph Γ is an element of the free abelian group on Γ. The rank of a divisor on a metric graph is a concept appearing in the RiemannRoch theorem for metric graphs (or tropical curves) due to Gathmann and Kerber [7], and Mikhalkin and Zharkov [10]. We define a rank-dete...
متن کاملAutomorphism groups of Cayley graphs generated by connected transposition sets
Let S be a set of transpositions that generates the symmetric group Sn, where n ≥ 3. The transposition graph T (S) is defined to be the graph with vertex set {1, . . . , n} and with vertices i and j being adjacent in T (S) whenever (i, j) ∈ S. We prove that if the girth of the transposition graph T (S) is at least 5, then the automorphism group of the Cayley graph Cay(Sn, S) is the semidirect p...
