    We define a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition for a given graph HH and graphical properties P1,P2,,PkP_1, P_2, \ldots, P_k as a partition where each ViV_i induces a subgraph of HH with property PiP_i. Matamala (2007) extended this result by showing that for any graph HH with Δ(H)=p+q\Delta(H)=p+q, there exists a (V1,V2)(V_1, V_2)-partition of V(H)V(H) where H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order (p1)(p-1)-degenerate induced subgraph and H[V2]H[V_2] is (q1)(q-1)-degenerate. Additionally, Catlin and Lai proved that if Δ(H)5\Delta(H)\geq 5, HH has a (V1,V2)(V_1, V_2)-partition such that H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order acyclic induced subgraph, ω(H[V2])Δ(H)2\omega(H[V_2])\leq \Delta(H)-2, and Δ(H[V2])Δ(H)2\Delta(H[V_2])\leq \Delta(H)-2. Rowshan and Taherkhani demonstrated that given a graph GG with a minimum degree δ(G)\delta(G) and for k=Δ(H)δ(G)k=\lceil \frac{\Delta(H)}{\delta(G)}\rceil, there exists a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition of the vertex set of HH, such that each H[Vi]H[V_i] is GG-free, meaning it does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to GG, and H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order GG-free induced subgraph. In our paper, we present a novel result for a connected graph HH with Δ(H)5\Delta(H)\geq 5 and without KΔ(H)+1eK_{\Delta(H)+1}\setminus e as a subgraph. We establish that when p1p2pk12p_1\geq p_2\geq\cdots\geq p_{k-1}\geq 2, pk4p_k\geq 4, i=1kpi=Δ(H)1+k\sum_{i=1}^k p_i=\Delta(H)-1+k, and Gi\mathcal{G}_i represents a family of graphs with a minimum degree at least pi1p_i-1 for each i[k1]i\in [k-1], a (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)-partition of V(H)V(H) exists. This partition guarantees that H[V1]H[V_1] is a maximum order G1\mathcal{G}_1-free induced subgraph, H[Vi]H[V_i] is Gi\mathcal{G}_i-free for each 2ik12\leq i\leq k-1, Δ(H[Vk])pk\Delta(H[V_k])\leq p_k, and either H[Vk]H[V_k] is KpkK_{p_k}-free or its pkp_k-cliques are disjoint

    In a (G1,G2)(G^1,G^2) coloring of a graph GG, every edge of GG is in G1G^1 or G2G^2. For two bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2, the bipartite Ramsey number BR(H1,H2)BR(H_1, H_2) is the least integer b1b\geq 1, such that for every (G1,G2)(G^1, G^2) coloring of the complete bipartite graph Kb,bK_{b,b}, results in either H1G1H_1\subseteq G^1 or H2G2H_2\subseteq G^2. As another view, for bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2 and a positive integer mm, the mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(H1,H2)BR_m(H_1, H_2) of H1H_1 and H2H_2 is the least integer nn (nm)(n\geq m) such that every subgraph GG of Km,nK_{m,n} results in H1GH_1\subseteq G or H2GH_2\subseteq \overline{G}. The size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K2,2,K2,2)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{2,2}), the size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K2,2,K3,3)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{3,3}) and the size of mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(K3,3,K3,3)BR_m(K_{3,3}, K_{3,3}) have been computed in several articles up to now. In this paper we determine the exact value of BRm(K2,2,K4,4)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{4,4}) for each m2m\geq 2

    The bipartite Ramsey number BR(H1,H2,,Hk)BR(H_1,H_2,\ldots,H_k), is the smallest positive integer bb, such that each kk-decomposition of E(Kb,b)E(K_{b,b}) contains HiH_i in the ii-th class for some i,1iki, 1\leq i\leq k. As another view of bipartite Ramsey numbers, for given two bipartite graphs H1H_1 and H2H_2 and a positive integer mm, the mm-bipartite Ramsey number BRm(H1,H2)BR_m(H_1, H_2), is defined as the least integer nn, such that any subgraph of Km,nK_{m,n} say HH, results in H1HH_1\subseteq H or H2HH_2\subseteq \overline{H}. The size of BRm(K2,2,K3,3)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{3,3}), BRm(K2,2,K4,4)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{4,4}) for each mm, and the size of BRm(K3,3,K3,3)BR_m(K_{3,3}, K_{3,3}) for some mm, have been determined in several papers up to now. Also, it is shown that BR(K2,2,K5,5)=17BR(K_{2,2}, K_{5,5})=17. In this article, we compute the size of BRm(K2,2,K5,5)BR_m(K_{2,2}, K_{5,5}) for some m2m\geq 2

    Borodin-Kostochka conjecture and Partitioning a graph into classes with no clique of specified size

    For a given graph HH and the graphical properties P1,P2,,PkP_1, P_2,\ldots,P_k, a graph HH is said to be (V1,V2,,Vk)(V_1, V_2,\ldots,V_k)-partitionable if there exists a partition of V(H)V(H) into kk-sets V1,V2,VkV_1, V_2\ldots,V_k, such that for each i[k]i\in[k], the subgraph induced by ViV_i has the property PiP_i. In 19791979, Bollob\'{a}s and Manvel showed that for a graph HH with maximum degree Δ(H)3\Delta(H)\geq 3 and clique number ω(H)Δ(H)\omega(H)\leq \Delta(H), if Δ(H)=p+q\Delta(H)= p+q, then there exists a (V1,V2)(V_1,V_2)-partition of V(H)V(H), such that Δ(H[V1])p\Delta(H[V_1])\leq p, Δ(H[V2])q\Delta(H[V_2])\leq q, H[V1]H[V_1] is (p1)(p-1)-degenerate, and H[V2]H[V_2] is (q1)(q-1)-degenerate. Assume that p1p2pk2p_1\geq p_2\geq\cdots\geq p_k\geq 2 are kk positive integers and i=1kpi=Δ(H)1+k\sum_{i=1}^k p_i=\Delta(H)-1+k. Assume that for each i[k]i\in[k] the properties PiP_i means that ω(H[Vi])pi1\omega(H[V_i])\leq p_i-1. Is HH a (V1,,Vk)(V_1,\ldots,V_k)-partitionable graph? In 1977, Borodin and Kostochka conjectured that any graph HH with maximum degree Δ(H)9\Delta(H)\geq 9 and without KΔ(H)K_{\Delta(H)} as a subgraph, has chromatic number at most Δ(H)1\Delta(H)-1. Reed proved that the conjecture holds whenever Δ(G)1014 \Delta(G) \geq 10^{14} . When p1=2p_1=2 and Δ(H)9\Delta(H)\geq 9, the above question is the Borodin and Kostochka conjecture. Therefore, when all pip_is are equal to 22 and Δ(H)8\Delta(H)\leq 8, the answer to the above question is negative. Let HH is a graph with maximum degree Δ\Delta, and clique number ω(H)\omega(H), where ω(H)Δ1\omega(H)\leq \Delta-1. In this article, we intend to study this question when k2k\geq 2 and Δ13\Delta\geq 13. In particular as an analogue of the Borodin-Kostochka conjecture, for the case that Δ13\Delta\geq 13 and pi2p_i\geq 2 we prove that the above question is true

    For the given bipartite graphs G1,G2,,GtG_1,G_2,\ldots,G_t, the multicolor bipartite Ramsey number BR(G1,G2,,Gt)BR(G_1,G_2,\ldots,G_t) is the smallest positive integer bb such that any tt-edge-coloring of Kb,bK_{b,b} contains a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to GiG_i, colored with the iith color for some 1it1\leq i\leq t. We compute the exact values of the bipartite Ramsey numbers BR(C8,C2n)BR(C_8,C_{2n}) for n2n\geq2

    No full text
    For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2

    A Proof of a Conjecture on Bipartite Ramsey Numbers B(2,2,3)

    No full text
    The bipartite Ramsey number B(n1,n2,…,nt) is the least positive integer b, such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with t colors will result in a monochromatic copy of Kni,ni in the i-th color, for some i, 1≤i≤t. The values B(2,5)=17, B(2,2,2,2)=19 and B(2,2,2)=11 have been computed in several previously published papers. In this paper, we obtain the exact values of the bipartite Ramsey number B(2,2,3). In particular, we prove the conjecture on B(2,2,3) which was proposed in 2015—in fact, we prove that B(2,2,3)=17

    Exploring the Dimensions and Components of Islamic Values Influencing the Productivity of Human Resources from the Perspective of Mashhad Municipality Employees

    AbstractThe present study was performed to explore the components and dimensions of Islamic values affecting the productivity of human resources from the perspective of Mashhad Municipality employees using a hybrid method. For this purpose, in-depth interviews were performed with 20 administrative and scientific experts of Mashhad Municipality using content analysis. The results obtained from semi-structured interviews were classified into the dimensions of non-promotion of religious and revolutionary values, not spending enough on culture-building, approving the wrongdoer in the system, lack of suitable role model and creating substrates for anti-values as the factors affecting Islamic values; each of these behaviors consist of other concepts. The dimensions along with the components of Islamic values questionnaire including piety, tolerance and trust were examined in a sample of 215 employees in 13 Mashhad Municipality zones. In fact, the findings of this study expand the area in the field of organizational studies by providing dimensions and components of human resources productivity from the employees’ perspectives and increase human resources productivity in organizations. The results of this study are consistent with some of the most important domestic and foreign research on different aspects of productivity (Katcher (1991); Shaser (1983), Goodwin (2007); Kesty (2012), etc.)
