In this paper, we first generalize their result to multigraphs and show that every multigraph $G$ with multiplicity $mu$ can be decomposed into a maximum $Delta(G)$-edge-colorable subgraph and a subgraph with maximum degree at most $mu$. Then we prove that every graph $G$ with chromatic index $Delta(G)+k$ can be decomposed into two class I subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ such that $Delta(H_1) = Delta(G)$ and $Delta(H_2) = k$, which is a variation of their conjecture.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J.

Up to now, there are only a few known infinite families of NMDS codes holding $t$-designs in the literature. The objective of this paper is to construct new infinite families of NMDS codes holding $t$-designs. We determine the weight enumerators of the NMDS codes and prove that the NMDS codes hold $2$-designs or $3$-designs. Compared with known $t$-designs from NMDS codes, ours have different parameters. Besides, several infinite families of optimal locally recoverable codes are also derived via the NMDS codes.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J. Discret.

We consider the following augmentation problem: Given a rigid graph G = ( V,E ), 3 find a minimum cardinality edge set F such that the graph G (cid:48) = ( V,E ∪ F ) is globally rigid. We 4 provide a min-max theorem and a polynomial-time algorithm for this problem for several types of 5 rigidity, such as rigidity in the plane or on the cylinder. Rigidity is often characterized by some 6 sparsity properties of the underlying graph and global rigidity is characterized by redundant rigidity 7 (where the graph remains rigid after deleting an arbitrary edge) and 2-or 3-vertex-connectivity. 8 Hence, to solve the above-mentioned problem, we define and solve polynomially a combinatorial 9 optimization problem family based on these sparsity and connectivity properties. This family also 10 includes the problem of augmenting a k -tree-connected graph to a highly k -tree-connected and 2-11 connected graph. Moreover, as an interesting consequence, we give an optimal solution to the 12 so-called global rigidity pinning problem, where we aim to find a minimum cardinality vertex set X 13 for a rigid graph G = ( V,E ), such that the graph G + K X is globally rigid in R 2 where K X denotes 14 the complete graph on the vertex set X .","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J.

A $lambda$-list assignment of $G$ is a $k_lambda$-list assignment $L$ of $G$ such that the colour set $bigcup_{v in V(G)}L(v)$ can be partitioned into $lambda= q$ sets $C_1,C_2,ldots,C_q$ such that for each $i$ and each vertex $v$ of $G$, $L(v) cap C_i ge k_i$. We say $G$ is emph{$lambda$-choosable} if $G$ is $L$-colourable for any $lambda$-list assignment $L$ of $G$. The concept of $lambda$-choosability is a refinement of choosability that puts $k$-choosability and $k$-colourability in the same framework. If $lambda$ is close to $k_lambda$, then $lambda$-choosability is close to $k_lambda$-colourability; if $lambda$ is close to $1$, then $lambda$-choosability is close to $k_lambda$-choosability. This paper studies Hadwiger‘s Conjecture in the context of $lambda$-choosability. Hadwiger‘s Conjecture is equivalent to saying that every $K_t$-minor-free graph is ${1 star (t-1)}$-choosable for any positive integer $t$. We prove that for $t ge 5$, for any partition $lambda$ of $t-1$ other than ${1 star (t-1)}$, there is a $K_t$-minor-free graph $G$ that is not $lambda$-choosable. We then construct several types of $K_t$-minor-free graphs that are not $lambda$-choosable, where $k_lambda - (t-1)$ gets larger as $k_lambda-lambda$ gets larger.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J.
