چکیده

A directed covering design, DC(v, k, λ), is a (v, k, 2λ) covering design in which the blocks are regarded as ordered k-tuples and in which each ordered pair of elements occurs in at least λ blocks. Let DE(v, k, λ) denote the minimum number of blocks in a DC(v, k, λ). In this paper the values of the function DE(v, 5, λ) are determined for all even integers v ≥ 5 and λ odd.

Directed packings with block size 5 and odd v

Let DD(5, 1; v) denote the packing number of a directed packing with block size 5 and index unity. It has been determined in [10] that DD(5, 1; v) = l2(:-1 JJ where v even. In this paper, the values of DD(5, 1; v) for all v are determined, with the possible exceptions of v 15, 19, 27.

On covering designs with block size 5 and index 11≤λ≤21: the case v≡0(mod 4)

Let V be a finite set of order v. A (v,k,A.) covering design of index A. and block size k is a collection of k-element subsets, called blocks, such that every 2-subset of V occurs in at least '}.. blocks. The covering problem is to determine the minimum number of blocks, a (v, k, A.), in a covering design. It is well known that a(v,k''}..)Lr~~=~'}..ll=(v,k,A.), where rxl is the smallest integer

Directed packings with block size 5

Let v ~ 5 and A be positive integers and let DD(v,k,A) denote the packing number of a directed packing with block size 5 and index A. The values of DD(v, 5, A) have been determined for A = 1,2 with the possible exceptions of (v, A) = (15,1) (19,1) (27,1), [7,8, 19]. In this paper we determine the values of DD(v, 5, A) for all v ~ 5 and A ~ 3 except possibly (v, A) = (43,3).

The topological ordering of covering nodes

The topological ordering algorithm sorts nodes of a directed graph such that the order of the tail of each arc is lower than the order of its head. In this paper, we introduce the notion of covering between nodes of a directed graph. Then, we apply the topological orderingalgorithm on graphs containing the covering nodes. We show that there exists a cut set withforward arcs in these...

On directed designs with block size five

In a t-(v, k, λ) directed design the blocks are ordered k-tuples and every ordered t-tuple of distinct points occurs in exactly λ blocks (as a subsequence). We study t-(v, 5, 1) directed designs with t = 3 and t = 4. In particular, we construct the first known examples, and an infinite class, of 3-(v, 5, 1) directed designs, and the first known infinite class of 4-(v, 5, 1) directed designs.
