  • A Steinhaus graph is a labelled graph whose adjacency matrix $A = (a_{i,j})$ has the Steinhaus property : $a_{i,j} + a{i,j+1} \equiv a_{i+1,j+1} (mod 2)$. We consider random Steinhaus graphs with n labelled vertices in which edges are chosen independently and with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. We prove that almost all Steinhaus graphs are Hamiltonian like as in random graph theory.

  • In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for personal identification of dorsal surface pattern of hand vein pattern using graph theory. Using dense ranee data images of the hand vein pattern, we used matching algorithm within the frame work of graph theory for the determination of the desired correspondence. Through preprocessing, the captured images are more sharp, clear and thinning. After thinning, the images are normalized and make graph with node and edge set. This normalized graph can make adjacent matrix. Each adjacent matrix from individual vein pattern are different. From examining the performance of individual vein patterns, we can approach performances well kind biometric technique.

  • Mathematics has developed dramatically in today's world and come to be increasingly put into practical use in various fields in society. However, many Japanese students dislike mathematics. We have to study mathematics education with this situation in our mind. When we consider a better educational material, we don't have to consider only within the framework of the current school mathematics. We can expect to find good mathematical materials in fields beyond the school mathematics. In this paper, we study how the inclusion of idea such as 'fuzzy theory' and 'graph theory' influences pupils' approaches to learning mathematics.

  • FTA is the most commonly used method among quantitative safety assessment. In case that the observing system become larger, a lot of terms should be calculated to accomplish FTA through complicated process. Many methods have been tried to reduce time, one of tries is How to calculate the reliability using graph theory after changing W to graph. This paper suggests an algorithm that can calculate more rapidly reliability and outset of system expressed by non-linear graph as like as FTA or CCA.

  • In this paper, we consider the Ricci curvature of a directed graph, based on Lin-Lu-Yau's definition. We give some properties of the Ricci curvature, including conditions for a directed regular graph to be Ricci-flat. Moreover, we calculate the Ricci curvature of the cartesian product of directed graphs.

  • Matroid theory, which was first introduced in 1935 by Whitney (2), is a branch of combinational mathematics which has some very much to the fore in the last few years. H. Whitney had just spent several years working in the field of graph theory, and had noticed several similarities between the ideas of independence and rank in graph theory and those of linear independence and dimension in the study of vector spaces. A matroid is essentially a set with some kind of 'independence structure' defined on it. There are several known results concerning how matroids can be induced from given matroid by a digraph. The purpose of this note is to show that, given a matroid M$_{0}$ (N) and a digraph $\Gamma$(N), then a new matroid M(N) is induced, where A⊆N is independent in M(N) if and only if A is the set of initial vertices of a family of pairwise-vertex-disjoint paths with terminal vertices independent in M$_{0}$ (N).(N).

  • Graph theory is becoming increasingly significant as it is applied of mathematics, science and technology. It is being actively used in fields as varied as biochemistry(genomics), electrical engineering(communication networks and coding theory), computer science(algorithms and computation) and operations research(scheduling). The powerful results in other areas of pure mathematics. Rhis paper, besides giving a general outlook of these facts, includes new graph theoretical proofs of Fermat's Little Theorem and the Nielson-Schreier Theorem. New applications to DNA sequencing (the SNP assembly problem) and computer network security (worm propagation) using minimum vertex covers in graphs are discussed. We also show how to apply edge coloring and matching in graphs for scheduling (the timetabling problem) and vertex coloring in graphs for map coloring and the assignment of frequencies in GSM mobile phone networks. Finally, we revisit the classical problem of finding re-entrant knight's tours on a chessboard using Hamiltonian circuits in graphs.

  • Computer Science Unplugged is a collection of free learning activities that teach Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around. In spite of the success of unplugged activities, the unplugged resources for experiencing the concepts of data structures is lacked. In this study, we design, implement and survey the 3 hour lessons of the core concepts of graph theory and the shortest path algorithm for the primary students using computer science unplugged activities. Our survey results showed that our lesson plan is adequate for primary school students and will have a positive effects for primary school students.

  • Cofinite graphs and cofinite groupoids are defined in a unified way extending the notion of cofinite group introduced by Hartley. These objects have in common an underlying structure of a directed graph endowed with a certain type of uniform structure, called a cofinite uniformity. Much of the theory of cofinite directed graphs turns out to be completely analogous to that of cofinite groups. For instance, the completion of a directed graph Γ with respect to a cofinite uniformity is a profinite directed graph and the cofinite structures on Γ determine and distinguish all the profinite directed graphs that contain Γ as a dense sub-directed graph. The completion of the underlying directed graph of a cofinite graph or cofinite groupoid is observed to often admit a natural structure of a profinite graph or profinite groupoid, respectively.

  • Our goal in this paper is to propose the advancement proposed by Alsina, Klement and other researchers in the area of fuzzy logic applied to the area of fuzzy graph theory. We introduce the notion of complete Hamacher fuzzy graphs and the notion of balanced Hamacher fuzzy graphs and discuss their properties. Moreover, several operations on these fuzzy graphs are explored via the complete notion.
