On the cooling number of the generalized Petersen graphs by Kai An Sim, Kok Bin Wong

“…In this paper, we showed that the cooling number of a classic cubic graph, the generalized Petersen graphs $ P(n, k) $, is $ \left\lfloor \frac{n}{2k} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{k+1}{2} \right\rfloor +O(1) $ by the use of vertex-transitivity and combinatorial arguments. Particularly, we determined the exact values for CL$ (P(n, 1)) $ and CL$ (P(n, 2)) $.…”

Dimension reduction for maximum matchings and the Fastest Mixing Markov Chain by Jain, Vishesh, Pham, Huy, Vuong, Thuy-Duong

“…Let $G = (V,E)$ be an undirected graph with maximum degree $\Delta $ and vertex conductance $\Psi ^*(G)$. We show that there exists a symmetric, stochastic matrix $P$, with off-diagonal entries supported on $E$, whose spectral gap $\gamma ^*(P)$ satisfies \[ \Psi ^*(G)^{2}/\log \Delta \lesssim \gamma ^*(P) \lesssim \Psi ^*(G). \] Our bound is optimal under the Small Set Expansion Hypothesis, and answers a question of Olesker-Taylor and Zanetti, who obtained such a result with $\log \Delta $ replaced by $\log |V|$.In order to obtain our result, we show how to embed a negative-type semi-metric $d$ defined on $V$ into a negative-type semi-metric $d^{\prime }$ supported in $\mathbb{R}^{O(\log \Delta )}$, such that the (fractional) matching number of the weighted graph $(V,E,d)$ is approximately equal to that of $(V,E,d^{\prime })$.…”

Rainbow Connectivity Using a Rank Genetic Algorithm: Moore Cages with Girth Six by J. Cervantes-Ojeda, M. Gómez-Fuentes, D. González-Moreno, M. Olsen

“…A rainbow t-coloring of a t-connected graph G is an edge coloring such that for any two distinct vertices u and v of G there are at least t internally vertex-disjoint rainbow (u,v)-paths. In this work, we apply a Rank Genetic Algorithm to search for rainbow t-colorings of the family of Moore cages with girth six (t;6)-cages. …”

P2Y Receptors in Synaptic Transmission and Plasticity: Therapeutic Potential in Cognitive Dysfunction by Segundo J. Guzman, Zoltan Gerevich

“…We show that P2Y receptors inhibit the release of neurotransmitters, modulate voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels, and differentially influence the induction of synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. The findings discussed here may explain how P2Y1 receptor activation during brain injury, hypoxia, inflammation, schizophrenia, or Alzheimer’s disease leads to an impairment of cognitive processes. …”

Nettree for maximum disjoint paths with length constraint in DAG by Yan LI, You-xi WU, Chun-ping HUANG, Zhi-ying ZHANG, Zhen-xiang ZENG

“…The problem of the maximum disjoint paths in directed acyclic graphs(DAG)was researched which is to find the maximum disjoint paths with length k between two given vertices.A greedy algorithm named greedy path(GP)was proposed to solve the problem.GP transformed a DAG into a nettree with depth k+1 at first.Then the number of root-leaf paths for each node of the nettree was calculated to achieve the number of total paths for each vertex of the DAG.In order to obtain an optimized disjoint path,GP selected the node in the(k+1)th level of the nettree as the current node,and searched for the optimized parent in the usable parents whose number of total paths was minimal.This process was iterated,until there was no disjoint path.The space and time complexities of GP are O(wkn(p+q))and O(kn(p+q)+n²).To evaluate the performance of GP,an algorithm which can create artificial DAG with known maximum disjoint paths was also proposed.Experimental results show that GP can get better performance than other competitive algorithms.…”
