摘要
Kneser图K(n, K)是以固定n集的K个子集为顶点的图,如果两个K个子集不相交,则它们相邻。给定n和k,自1978年以来,许多作者认为k (n,k)中的Hamilton环存在。最近,Merino et al.(2023)证明了所有连通的Kneser图K(n, K)都是哈密顿图。本文研究了λ重Kneser图λK(n,2)和λ重二部Kneser图λBK(n,2)的4环分解存在的充分必要条件。本文的主要结果可能对Kneser图的k环分解问题有所启发。
The Kneser graph is the graph with the -subsets of a fixed -set as its vertices, with two -subsets adjacent if they are disjoint. Given and , the existence of Hamilton cycle in was considered by many authors since 1978. Recently, Merino et al. (2023) proved that all connected Kneser graphs are Hamiltonian. In this paper, we examine the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a 4-cycle decomposition of -fold Kneser graphs and -fold Bipartite Kneser graphs . The main result of this paper may shed some lights on the -cycle decomposition problem of Kneser graphs.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of recent research results that are checked and recommended for publication by a member of the Editorial Board. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal.
Potential authors are advised to view the journal and the open calls-for-papers of special issues before submitting their manuscripts. Only high-quality, original work that is within the scope of the journal or the targeted special issue will be considered.
