摘要:

给定一个有限简单图$G$,$G$的奇覆盖是完全二部图或二分图的集合,其中$G$的每条边出现在奇数个二分图中,而$G$的每条非边出现在偶数个二分图中。用$b_2(G)$表示$G$的奇覆盖的最小基数,并证明了$b_2(G)$在$G$的邻接矩阵的$\mathbb{F}_2$上的秩的一半之下有界.我们表明,这个下界是紧的情况下,当$G$是一个二部图和几乎紧时,$G$是一个奇数圈。然而,我们还提出了一个无限族的图,这表明该下界可以任意远离$b_2(G)$。Babai和Frankl(1992)提出了“奇数覆盖问题”,在我们的语言中等价于确定$b_2(K_n)$。Radhakrishnan、Sen和Vishwanathan(2000)确定了正整数$n$的无限但密度为零的子集的$b_2(K_n)$。本文对正整数的密度$3/8$子集确定了$b_2(K_n)$.

英文摘要:

Given a finite simple graph $G$, an odd cover of $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, in which each edge of $G$ appears in an odd number of bicliques and each non-edge of $G$ appears in an even number of bicliques. We denote the minimum cardinality of an odd cover of $G$ by $b_2(G)$ and prove that $b_2(G)$ is bounded below by half of the rank over $\mathbb{F}_2$ of the adjacency matrix of $G$. We show that this lower bound is tight in the case when $G$ is a bipartite graph and almost tight when $G$ is an odd cycle. However, we also present an infinite family of graphs which shows that this lower bound can be arbitrarily far away from $b_2(G)$. Babai and Frankl (1992) proposed the "odd cover problem," which in our language is equivalent to determining $b_2(K_n)$. Radhakrishnan, Sen, and Vishwanathan (2000) determined $b_2(K_n)$ for an infinite but density zero subset of positive integers $n$. In this paper, we determine $b_2(K_n)$ for a density $3/8$ subset of the positive integers.
