چکیده

The central observation of this paper is that if ǫn random arcs are added to any n-node strongly connected digraph with bounded degree then the resulting graph has diameter O(lnn) with high probability. We apply this to smoothed analysis of algorithms and property testing. Smoothed Analysis: Recognizing strongly connected digraphs is a basic computational task in graph theory. Even for digraphs with bounded degree, it is NL-complete. By XORing an arbitrary bounded degree digraph with a sparse random digraph R ∼ Dn,ǫ/n we obtain a “smoothed” instance. We show that, with high probability, a log-space algorithm will correctly determine if a smoothed instance is strongly connected. We also show that if NL 6⊆ almost-L then no heuristic can recognize similarly perturbed instances of (s, t)-connectivity. Property Testing: A digraph is called k-linked if, for every choice of 2k distinct vertices s1, . . . , sk, t1, . . . , tk, the graph contains k vertex disjoint paths joining sr to tr for r = 1, . . . , k. Recognizing k-linked digraphs is NP-complete for k ≥ 2. We describe a polynomial time algorithm for bounded degree digraphs which accepts k-linked graphs with high probability, and rejects all graphs which are at least ǫn arcs away from being k-linked.

Solutions structure of integrable families of Riccati equations and their applications to the perturbed nonlinear fractional Schrodinger equation

Some preliminaries about the integrable families of Riccati equations and solutions structure of these equations in several cases are presented in this paper, then by using of definitions for fractional derivative we apply the new extended of tanh method to the perturbed nonlinear fractional Schrodinger equation with the kerr law nonlinearity. Finally by using of this method and solutions of Ri...

A Perturbed Half-normal Distribution and Its Applications

In this paper, a new generalization of the half-normal distribution which is called the perturbed half-normal distribution is introduced. The new distribution belongs to a family of distributions which includes the half-normal distribution along with an extra parameter to regulate skewness. The probability density function (pdf) is derived and some various properties of the new distribution are...

More skew-equienergetic digraphs

Two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if their skew energies are equal. One of the open problems proposed by Li and Lian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs on n vertices. Recently this problem was solved by Ramane et al. In this  paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergetic digraphs.

Nvestigation of a Boundary Layer Problem for Perturbed Cauchy-Riemann Equation with Non-local Boundary Condition

Boundary layer problems (Singular perturbation problems) more have been applied for ordinary differential equations. While this theory for partial differential equations have many applications in several fields of physics and engineering. Because of complexity of limit and boundary behavior of the solutions of partial differential equations these problems considered less than ordinary case. In ...
