• Sang June Lee (이상준), On strong Sidon sets of integers

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Let $\mathbb N$ be the set of natural numbers. A set $A\subset \mathbb N$ is called a Sidon set if the sums $a_1+a_2$, with $a_1,a_2\in S$ and $a_1\leq a_2$, are distinct, or equivalently, if \ for every $x,y,z,w\in S$ with $x<y\leq z<w$. We define strong Sidon sets as follows: For a constant $\alpha$ with $0\leq

  • Xin Zhang (张欣), On equitable tree-colorings of graphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    An equitable tree-$k$-coloring of a graph is a vertex coloring using $k$ distinct colors such that every color class (i.e, the set of vertices in a common color) induces a forest and the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one. The minimum integer $k$ such that a graph $G$ is equitably

  • Lars Jaffke, A complexity dichotomy for critical values of the b-chromatic number of graphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    A $b$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring of its vertices such that each color class contains a vertex that has at least one neighbor in all the other color classes. The $b$-Coloring problem asks whether a graph $G$ has a $b$-coloring with $k$ colors. The $b$-chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted

  • Jinyoung Park (박진영), The number of maximal independent sets in the Hamming cube

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Let $Q_n$ be the $n$-dimensional Hamming cube (hypercube) and $N=2^n$. We prove that the number of maximal independent sets in $Q_n$ is asymptotically $2n2^{N/4}$, as was conjectured by Ilinca and Kahn in connection with a question of Duffus, Frankl and Rödl. The value is a natural lower bound derived from a connection between maximal independent

  • Suil O (오수일), An odd [1,b]-factor in regular graphs from eigenvalues

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    An odd $$-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that for every vertex $v \in V(G)$, $1 \le d_H(v) \le b$, and $d_H(v)$ is odd. For positive integers $r \ge 3$ and $b \le r$, Lu, Wu, and Yang gave an upper bound for the third largest eigenvalue in an $r$-regular graph with even number of

  • Patrice Ossona de Mendez, A model theoretical approach to sparsity

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    We discuss how the model theoretic notion of first-order transduction allows to define a notion of structural sparsity, and give some example of applications, like existence of low shrub-depth decompositions for tranductions of bounded expansion classes, characterization of transductions of classes with bounded pathwidth, decompositions of graphs with bounded rank-width into cographs.

  • Dabeen Lee (이다빈), Integrality of set covering polyhedra and clutter minors

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Given a finite set of elements $V$ and a family $\mathcal{C}$ of subsets of $V$, the set covering problem is to find a minimum cardinality subset of $V$ intersecting every subset in the family $\mathcal{C}$. The set covering problem, also known as the hitting set problem, admits a simple integer linear programming formulation. The constraint
