Graph theoretical methods are widely used in the analysis of controllability, operability, loop interaction and the relative degree of control systems. However, misleading results can occur due to two common reasons: (1) only necessary conditions can be developed by using qualitative graph analysis

✦ Synopsis
Consider two maps f and g from a set E into a set F such that f (x) = g(x) for every x in E. What is the maximal cardinal of a subset A of E such that the images of the restriction of f and g to A are disjoint? Mekler, Pelletier and Taylor have shown that it is card(E) when the set E is infinite; in the finite case, we have proved that it is greater than or equal to card(E)/4. In this paper, using graph theoretical technics, we find these results as a direct application of a lemma of Erdös. Moreover, we show that if E = F = R, then there exists a countable partition

Quel est le cardinal maximal d'un sous-ensemble A de E tel que les images des restrictions de f et g à A soient disjointes ? Dans le cas où E est infini, la réponse est card(E), comme l'ont montré Mekler, Pelletier et Taylor ; dans le cas fini, nous avons prouvé que le cardinal en question est plus grand ou égale à card(E)/4. Dans cet article, en utilisant les outils de la théorie des graphes, nous retrouvons ces resultats comme application directe d'un lemme d'Erdös. Nous démontrons de plus que si E = F = R, alors il existe une partition dénombrable {E n } n 1 de R telle que f (E n ) ∩ g(E n ) = φ, pour tout n 1.

Attempts to solve the famous Four Color Problem led to fruitful discoveries and rich coloring theories. In this talk, some old and some recent applications of tools from topology to graph coloring problems will be presented. In particular, the following subjects will be treated: The use of Euler's f
