Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 645-667, March 2024. Abstract. Fix [math], and let [math] be a graph, with vertex set partitioned into [math] subsets (“blocks”) of approximately equal size. An induced subgraph of [math] is “transversal” (with respect to this partition) if it has exactly one vertex in each block (and therefore it has exactly [math] vertices). A “pure pair” in [math] is a pair [math] of disjoint subsets of [math] such that either all edges between [math] are present or none are; and in the present context we are interested in pure pairs [math] where each of [math] is a subset of one of the blocks, and not the same block. This paper collects several results and open questions concerning how large a pure pair must be present if various types of transversal subgraphs are excluded.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
