In the modern age, although East Asia represents some of the most successful economies such as Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and (now) China, the level of political and administrative development in the region remains controversial. One of the major indicators of such politico-administrative development is the extent of citizen participation in governance through various democratic mea...

Let Λ be a tame hereditary algebra over an algebraically closed field, i.e. Λ = kQ with Q a quiver of type Ãn, D̃n, Ẽ6, Ẽ7, or Ẽ8. Two different kinds of partitions of the module category can be obtained by using Auslander-Reiten theory, and on the other hand, Gabriel-Roiter measure approach. We compare these two kinds of partitions and see how the modules are rearranged according to Gabriel-Roi...

We show that finding a minimal number of landmark nodes for a unique virtual addressing by hop-distances in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks is NPcomplete even if the networks are unit disk graphs that contain only Gabriel edges. This problem is equivalent to Metric Dimension for Gabriel unit disk graphs. The Gabriel edges of a unit disc graph induce a planar O( √ n) distance and an optimal ener...
