Stuctural Aspects of Graph Homomorphisms
Bok, Jan ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Hubička, Jan (referee)
This thesis is about graph-indexed random walks, Lipschitz mappings and graph homo- morphisms. It discusses connections between these notions, surveys the existing results, and shows new results. Graph homomorphism is an adjacency-preserving mapping between two graphs. Our main objects of study are graph homomorphisms to an infinite path. We are interested in two parameters: maximum range and average range. The average range of a graph is the expected size of the image of a uniformly picked random homomorphism to an infinite path. We obtain formulas for several graph classes and investigate main conjectures on this parameter. For maximum range parameter we show a general formula and an algorithm to compute it for general graphs. Besides that, we study the problem of extending a prescribed partial graph homomorphism to a full graph homomorphism. We show that this problem is polynomial in some cases. 1
Introduction to Algebra of Belief Functions on Three-element Frame of Discernment - A General Case
Daniel, Milan
This contribution presents the second part of the introductive study of algebraic structure of belief functions (BFs) on 3-element frame of discernment. Algebraic method by Hájek & Valdés for BFs on 2-element frames is generalized to larger frame of discernment. Due to complexity of the algebraic structure, the study is divided into 2 parts, the present one is devoted to a case of general BFs. The definition of Dempster's semigroup (an algebraic structure) of BFs on 3-element frame is recalled from the first part of the study. Results related to Bayesian and quasi Bayesian BFs from the first part are also briefly recalled. Further substructures related to another subsets of general BFs are described and analyzed (including idempotents, simple complementary BFs, generalizations of subsemigroups of simple BFs) and subalgebras isomorphic to Dempster's semigroup on 2-element frame of discernment. Ideas and open problems for future research are presented.
