Ela on the Minimum Vector Rank of Multigraphs∗

چکیده
The minimum vector rank (mvr) of a graph over a field F is the smallest d for which a faithful vector representation of G exists in Fd . For simple graphs, minimum semidefinite rank (msr) and minimum vector rank differ by exactly the number of isolated vertices. We explore the relationship between msr and mvr for multigraphs and show that a result linking the msr of chordal graphs to clique cover number also holds for the mvr of multigraphs. We study the difference between msr and mvr in the removal of duplicate vertices in multigraphs, and relate mvr to certain coloring problems.

Ela Minimum Vector Rank and Complement Critical Graphs
Given a graph G, a real orthogonal representation of G is a function from its set of vertices to R such that two vertices are mapped to orthogonal unit vectors if and only if they are not neighbors. The minimum vector rank of a graph is the smallest dimension d for which such a representation exists. This quantity is closely related to the minimum semidefinite rank of G, which has been widely s...
متن کاملEla Note on Positive Semidefinite Maximum Nullity and Positive Semidefinite Zero Forcing Number of Partial 2-trees
The maximum positive semidefinite nullity of a multigraph G is the largest possible nullity over all real positive semidefinite matrices whose (i, j)th entry (for i 6= j) is zero if i and j are not adjacent in G, is nonzero if {i, j} is a single edge, and is any real number if {i, j} is a multiple edge. The definition of the positive semidefinite zero forcing number for simple graphs is extende...
متن کاملA novel three-stage distance-based consensus ranking method
In this study, we propose a three-stage weighted sum method for identifying the group ranks of alternatives. In the first stage, a rank matrix, similar to the cross-efficiency matrix, is obtained by computing the individual rank position of each alternative based on importance weights. In the second stage, a secondary goal is defined to limit the vector of weights since the vector of weights ob...

متن کاملEla Minimum Rank, Maximum Nullity, and Zero Forcing Number of Simple Digraphs
A simple digraph describes the off-diagonal zero-nonzero pattern of a family of (not necessarily symmetric) matrices. Minimum rank of a simple digraph is the minimum rank of this family of matrices; maximum nullity is defined analogously. The simple digraph zero forcing number is an upper bound for maximum nullity. Cut-vertex reduction formulas for minimum rank and zero forcing number for simpl...
