چکیده

An orthogonal cover of the complete digraph ~ K n is a collection of n spanning subgraphs ~ K n such that-every directed edge of ~ K n belongs to exactly 1 of the ~ G i 's and-for every two digraphs ~ G i and ~ G j (i 6 = j) there is a unique two-element set fa; bg of vertices such that ~ G i contains the directed edge (a; b) and ~ G j contains the directed edge (b; a). It is proven that there exists an orthogonal cover of ~ K n , where the ~ G i 's consist of short directed cycles, for all n 4; with a few possible exceptions. We conclude by establishing the existence of an orthogonal cover of ~ K n , where the ~ G i 's have maximum outdegree and maximum indegree one, for all n 2. This gives another proof of the directed version of a problem of Chung and West.

Covering Grids and Orthogonal Polygons with Periscope Guards

Gewali, L.P. and S. Ntafos, Covering grids and orthogonal polygons with periscope guards, Computational Geometry: Theory and Applications 2 (1993) 309-334. The problem of finding minimum guard covers is NP-hard for simple polygons and open for simple orthogonal polygons. Alternative definitions of visibility have been considered for orthogonal polygons. In this paper we try to determine the com...

On Cartesian Products of Orthogonal Double Covers

Let H be a graph on n vertices and G a collection of n subgraphs of H, one for each vertex, where G is an orthogonal double cover (ODC) of H if every edge of H occurs in exactly two members of G and any two members share an edge whenever the corresponding vertices are adjacent in H and share no edges whenever the corresponding vertices are nonadjacent in H. In this paper, we are concerned with ...

A note on orthogonal double covers of complete bipartite graphs by a special class of six caterpillars

We construct orthogonal double covers of Kn,n by Pm+1 ∪∗ Sn−m, where n and m are integers, 2 ≤ m ≤ 10, m ≤ n and Pm+1 ∪∗ Sn−m is a tree obtained from the path Pm+1 with m edges and a star Sn−m with n − m edges by identifying an end-vertex of Pm+1 with the center of Sn−m.

On the optimal correction of inconsistent matrix equations $AX = B$ and $XC = D$ with orthogonal constraint

This work focuses on the correction of both the coecient and the right hand side matrices of the inconsistent matrix equations $AX = B$ and $XC = D$ with orthogonal constraint. By optimal correction approach, a general representation of the orthogonal solution is obtained. This method is tested on two examples to show that the optimal correction is eective and highly accurate.

On absolute generalized Norlund summability of double orthogonal series

In the paper [Y. Okuyama, {it On the absolute generalized N"{o}rlund summability of orthogonal series},Tamkang J. Math. Vol. 33, No. 2, (2002), 161-165] the author has found some sufficient conditions under which an orthogonal seriesis summable $|N,p,q|$ almost everywhere. These conditions are expressed in terms of coefficients of the series. It is the purpose ofthis paper to extend this result...

Lifting Automorphic Representations on the Double Covers of Orthogonal Groups

Suppose that G and H are connected reductive groups over a number field F and that an L-homomorphism ρ : LG −→ LH is given. The Langlands functoriality conjecture predicts the existence of a map from the automorphic representations of G(A) to those of H(A). If the adelic points of the algebraic groups G, H are replaced by their metaplectic covers, one may hope to specify an analogue of the Lgro...
