Property A is a form of weak amenability for groups and metric spaces introduced as an approach to the famous Novikov higher signature conjecture, one of the most important unsolved problems in topology. We show that property A can be reduced to a sequence of linear programming optimization problems on finite graphs. We explore the dual problems, which turn out to have interesting interpretations as combinatorial problems concerning the maximum total supply of flows on a network. Using isoperimetric inequalities, we relate the dual problems to the Cheeger constant of the graph and explore the role played by symmetry of a graph to obtain a striking characterization of the difference between an expander and a graph without property A. Property A turns out to be a new measure of connectivity of a graph that is relevant to graph theory. The dual linear problems can be solved using a variety of methods, which we demonstrate on several enlightening examples. As a demonstration of the power of this linear programming approach we give elegant proofs of theorems of Nowak and Willett about graphs without property A.
For a graph $G= (V,E)$, a double Roman dominating function (DRDF) is a function $f : V to {0,1,2,3}$ having the property that if $f (v) = 0$, then vertex $v$ must have at least two neighbors assigned $2$ under $f$ or {at least} one neighbor $u$ with
In this paper we study finite groups which have Cayley isomorphism property with respect to Cayley maps, CIM-groups for a brief. We show that the structure of the CIM-groups is very restricted. It is described in Theorem~ref{111015a} where a short li
For a graph $G,$ the set $D subseteq V(G)$ is a porous exponential dominating set if $1 le sum_{d in D} left( 2 right)^{1-dist(d,v)}$ for every $v in V(G),$ where $dist(d,v)$ denotes the length of the shortest $dv$ path. The porous exponential domina
A Cayley (di)graph $Cay(G,S)$ of a group $G$ with respect to $S$ is said to be normal if the right regular representation of $G$ is normal in the automorphism group of $Cay(G,S)$, and is called a CI-(di)graph if there is $alphain Aut(G)$ such that $S
Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel (1977) used the linear programming method in order to find bounds for the size of spherical codes endowed with prescribed inner products between distinct points in the code. In this paper, we develop the linear programm
