An old conjecture of Zs. Tuza says that for any graph $G$, the ratio of the minimum size, $tau_3(G)$, of a set of edges meeting all triangles to the maximum size, $ u_3(G)$, of an edge-disjoint triangle packing is at most 2. Here, disproving a conjecture of R. Yuster, we show that for any fixed, positive $alpha$ there are arbitrarily large graphs $G$ of positive density satisfying $tau_3(G)>(1-o(1))|G|/2$ and $ u_3(G)<(1+alpha)|G|/4$.
Tuza famously conjectured in 1981 that in a graph without k+1 edge-disjoint triangles, it suffices to delete at most 2k edges to obtain a triangle-free graph. The conjecture holds for graphs with small treewidth or small maximum average degree, inclu
Tuza (1981) conjectured that the size $tau(G)$ of a minimum set of edges that intersects every triangle of a graph $G$ is at most twice the size $ u(G)$ of a maximum set of edge-disjoint triangles of $G$. In this paper we present three results regard
The Shannon lower bound is one of the few lower bounds on the rate-distortion function that holds for a large class of sources. In this paper, it is demonstrated that its gap to the rate-distortion function vanishes as the allowed distortion tends to
We apply the Discharging Method to prove the 1,2,3-Conjecture and the 1,2-Conjecture for graphs with maximum average degree less than 8/3. Stronger results on these conjectures have been proved, but this is the first application of discharging to the
A $k$-uniform tight cycle is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with a cyclic ordering of its vertices such that its edges are all the sets of size $k$ formed by $k$ consecutive vertices in the ordering. We prove that every red-blue edge-coloured $K_n^{(4)}$ c
