Let v 1 , v 2 , …, v 2 n be a sequence of vertices arranged in clockwise order along a circumference. A chord diagram { v 1 v n + 1 , v 2 v n + 2 , …, v n v 2 n } is called an n -crossing and a chord diagram { v 1 v 2 , v 3 v 4 , …, v 2 n − 1 v 2 n } is called an n -necklace. For a chord diagram E having a 2 -crossing S = { x 1 x 3 , x 2 x 4 } , the expansion of E with respect to S is to replace E with E 1 = ( E S ) ∪ { x 2 x 3 , x 4 x 1 } or E 2 = ( E S ) ∪ { x 1 x 2 , x 3 x 4 } . Beginning from a given chord diagram E as the root, by iterating chord expansions in both ways, we have a binary tree whose all leaves are nonintersecting chord diagrams. Let NCD ( E ) be the multiset of the leaves. In this paper, the multiplicity of an n -necklace in NCD ( E ) is studied. Among other results, it is shown that the multiplicity of an n -necklace generated from an n -crossing equals the Genocchi number when n is odd and the median Genocchi number when n is even.","PeriodicalId":8402,"journal":{"name":"Ars Math.

Motivated by well-known generalizations of Ramsey numbers, we first define the rainbow Schur number R S ( n ) to be the minimum number of colors needed such that every coloring of {1, 2, …, n } , in which all available colors are used, contains a rainbow solution to a + b = c . It is shown that $$RS(n)=floor{log _2(n)}+2, quad mbox{for all } nge 3.$$ Second, we consider the Gallai-Schur number G S ( n ) , defined to be the least natural number such that every n -coloring of {1, 2, …, G S ( n )} that lacks rainbow solutions to the equation a + b = c necessarily contains a monochromatic solution to this equation. By connecting this number with the n -color Gallai-Ramsey number for triangles, it is shown that for all n ≥ 3 , $$GS(n)=left{ begin{array}{ll} 5^k & mbox{if} n=2k 2cdot 5^k & mbox{if} n=2k+1.end{array} right.$$","PeriodicalId":8402,"journal":{"name":"Ars Math.

Every attacked area needs 2 legions for its defence, either their own, or borrowed from 1 or 2 neighbouring areas, which still have to keep at least 1 legion to themselves. The minimal number of legions in all areas together is equal to the double Roman domination number. In this paper we determine an upper bound and a lower bound for double Roman domination numbers on cardinal product of any two graphs. Also we determine the exact values of double Roman domination numbers on P 2 × G (for many types of graph G ). Also, the double Roman domination number is found for P 2 × P n , P 3 × P n , P 4 × P n , while upper and lower bounds are given for P 5 × P n and P 6 × P n . Finally, we will give a case study to determine the efficiency of double protection. We will compare double Roman domination versus Roman domination by running a simulation of a battle.","PeriodicalId":8402,"journal":{"name":"Ars Math.
