Initiation of Interaction Detection Framework using a Nonverbal Cue for Human-Robot Interaction

This paper describes an initiation of interaction(IoI) detection framework without keywords for human-robot interaction(HRI) based on audio and vision sensor fusion in a domestic environment. In the proposed framework, the robot has its own audio and vision sensors, and can employ external vision sensor for stable human detection and tracking. When the user starts to speak while looking at the robot, the robot can localize his or her position by its sound source localization together with human tracking information. Then the robot can detect the IoI if it perceives the face of the speaker faces the robot. In case that the user does not speak directly, the robot can also detect the IoI if he or she looks at the robot for more than predefined periods of time. A state transition model for the proposed IoI detection framework is designed and verified by experiments with a mobile robot. In order to implement and associate our model in a robot architecture, all the components are implemented and integrated in the Robot Operating System(ROS) environment.

Restrained Italian domination in trees

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph. A subset DD of VV is a \textit{restrained dominating set} if every vertex in V∖DV \setminus D is adjacent to a vertex in DD and to a vertex in V∖DV \setminus D. The \textit{restrained domination number}, denoted by γr(G)γ_r(G), is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of GG. A function f:V→{0,1,2}f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\} is a \textit{restrained Italian dominating function} on GG if (i) for each vertex v∈Vv \in V for which f(v)=0f(v)=0, it holds that ∑u∈NG(v)f(u)≥2\sum_{u \in N_G(v)} f(u) \geq 2, (ii) the subgraph induced by {v∈V∣f(v)=0}\{v \in V \mid f(v)=0 \} has no isolated vertices. The \textit{restrained Italian domination number}, denoted by γrI(G)γ_{rI}(G), is the minimum weight taken over all restrained Italian dominating functions of GG. It is known that γr(G)≤γrI(G)≤2γr(G)γ_r(G) \leq γ_{rI}(G) \leq 2γ_r(G) for any graph GG. In this paper, we characterize the trees TT for which γr(T)=γrI(T)γ_r(T) = γ_{rI}(T), and we also characterize the trees TT for which γrI(T)=2γr(T)γ_{rI}(T) = 2γ_r(T).

The Italian bondage and reinforcement numbers of digraphs

An \textit{Italian dominating function} on a digraph DD with vertex set V(D)V(D) is defined as a function f:V(D)→{0,1,2}f : V(D) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\} such that every vertex v∈V(D)v \in V(D) with f(v)=0f(v) = 0 has at least two in-neighbors assigned 11 under ff or one in-neighbor ww with f(w)=2f(w) = 2. The \textit{weight} of an Italian dominating function ff is the value ω(f)=f(V(D))=∑u∈V(D)f(u)ω(f) = f(V(D)) = \sum_{u \in V(D)} f(u). The \textit{Italian domination number} of a digraph DD, denoted by γI(D)γ_I(D), is the minimum taken over the weights of all Italian dominating functions on DD. The \textit{Italian bondage number} of a digraph DD, denoted by bI(D)b_I(D), is the minimum number of arcs of A(D)A(D) whose removal in DD results in a digraph D′D' with γI(D′)>γI(D)γ_I(D') > γ_I(D). The \textit{Italian reinforcement number} of a digraph DD, denoted by rI(D)r_I(D), is the minimum number of extra arcs whose addition to DD results in a digraph D′D' with γI(D′)<γI(D)γ_I(D') < γ_I(D). In this paper, we initiate the study of Italian bondage and reinforcement numbers in digraphs and present some bounds for bI(D)b_I(D) and rI(D)r_I(D). We also determine the Italian bondage and reinforcement numbers of some classes of digraphs.

The Italian domination numbers of some products of directed cycles

An Italian dominating function on a digraph DD with vertex set V(D)V(D) is defined as a function f:V(D)→{0,1,2}f : V(D) \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\} such that every vertex v∈V(D)v \in V(D) with f(v)=0f(v) = 0 has at least two in-neighbors assigned 11 under ff or one in-neighbor ww with f(w)=2f(w) = 2. In this paper, we determine the exact values of the Italian domination numbers of some products of directed cycles.

Isomorphism classes of association schemes induced by Hadamard matrices

Every Hadamard matrix HH of order n>1n > 1 induces a graph with 4n4n vertices, called the Hadamard graph Γ(H)Γ(H) of HH. Since Γ(H)Γ(H) is a distance-regular graph with diameter 44, it induces a 44-class association scheme (Ω,S)(Ω, S) of order 4n4n. In this article we deal with fission schemes of (Ω,S)(Ω, S) under certain conditions, and for such a fission scheme we estimate the number of isomorphism classes with the same intersection numbers as the fission scheme.

On pp-schemes of order p3p^3

Let (X,S)(X,S) be a pp-scheme of order p3p^3 and TT the thin residue of SS. Now we assume that TT has valency p2p^2. It is easy to see that one of the following holds: (i) ∣T∣=p2|T|=p^2 and T≃Cp2T\simeq C_{p^2}; (ii) ∣T∣=p2|T|=p^2 and T≃Cp×CpT\simeq C_p\times C_p; (iii) ∣T∣<p2|T|<p^2. It is known that (X,S)(X,S) is Schurian if (i) holds. If (ii) holds, we will show that (X,S)(X,S) induces a partial linear space on X/TX/T. Moreover, the character degrees of (X,S)(X,S) coincide with the sizes of the lines of the partial linear space. Under the assumption (iii) we will show a construction of non-Schurian pp-schemes which are algebraically isomorphic to a Schurian pp-scheme of order p3p^3.

On a conjecture of Brouwer involving the connectivity of strongly regular graphs

In this paper, we study a conjecture of Andries E. Brouwer from 1996 regarding the minimum number of vertices of a strongly regular graph whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components. We show that strongly regular graphs constructed from copolar spaces and from the more general spaces called ΔΔ-spaces are counterexamples to Brouwer's Conjecture. Using J.I. Hall's characterization of finite reduced copolar spaces, we find that the triangular graphs T(m)T(m), the symplectic graphs Sp(2r,q)Sp(2r,q) over the field Fq\mathbb{F}_q (for any qq prime power), and the strongly regular graphs constructed from the hyperbolic quadrics O+(2r,2)O^{+}(2r,2) and from the elliptic quadrics O−(2r,2)O^{-}(2r,2) over the field F2\mathbb{F}_2, respectively, are counterexamples to Brouwer's Conjecture. For each of these graphs, we determine precisely the minimum number of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components. While we are not aware of an analogue of Hall's characterization theorem for ΔΔ-spaces, we show that complements of the point graphs of certain finite generalized quadrangles are point graphs of ΔΔ-spaces and thus, yield other counterexamples to Brouwer's Conjecture. We prove that Brouwer's Conjecture is true for many families of strongly regular graphs including the conference graphs, the generalized quadrangles GQ(q,q)GQ(q,q) graphs, the lattice graphs, the Latin square graphs, the strongly regular graphs with smallest eigenvalue -2 (except the triangular graphs) and the primitive strongly regular graphs with at most 30 vertices except for few cases. We leave as an open problem determining the best general lower bound for the minimum size of a disconnecting set of vertices of a strongly regular graph, whose removal disconnects the graph into non-singleton components.
