Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1676-1685, June 2024. Abstract. Tuza [Finite and Infinite Sets, Proc. Colloq. Math. Soc. János Bolyai 37, North Holland, 1981, p. 888] conjectured that [math] for all graphs [math], where [math] is the minimum size of an edge set whose removal makes [math] triangle-free and [math] is the maximum size of a collection of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles. Here, we generalize Tuza’s conjecture to simple binary matroids that do not contain the Fano plane as a restriction and prove that the geometric version of the conjecture holds for cographic matroids.
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.
