Abstract

We show that a maximal triangle‐free graph on n vertices with minimum degree Ξ΄ contains an independent set of 3Ξ΄ βˆ’ n vertices which have identical neighborhoods. This yields a simple proof that if the binding number of a graph is at least 3/2 then it has a triangle. This was conjectured originally by Woodall. Β© 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Triangle-free quasi-symmetric 2-(v, k,k) designs with intersection numbers x, y; 01, are investigated. It is proved that k β‰₯ 2 yx -3. As a consequence it is seen that for fixed k, there are finitely many triangle-free quasi-symmetric designs. It is also proved that: k ≀ y( yx)+ x.

Spin models were introduced by V. Jones (Pac. J. Math. 137 (1989), 311 334) to construct invariants of knots and links. A spin model is defined as a pair S=(X, w) of a fine set X and a function w: X\_X Γ„ C satisfying several axioms. Let 1=(X, E) be a connected graph with the usual metric : X\_X Γ„ [0
