An algorithmic approach to handle circular trading in commercial taxing system

Tax manipulation comes in a variety of forms with different motivations and of varying complexities. In this paper, we deal with a specific technique used by tax-evaders known as circular trading. In particular, we define algorithms for the detection and analysis of circular trade. To achieve this, we have modelled the whole system as a directed graph with the actors being vertices and the transactions among them as directed edges. We illustrate the results obtained after running the proposed algorithm on the commercial tax dataset of the government of Telangana, India, which contains the transaction details of a set of participants involved in a known circular trade.

Graph-theoretic perspective on a special class of Steiner Systems

We study $S(t-1,t,2t)$, which is a special class of Steiner systems. Explicit constructions for designing such systems are developed under a graph-theoretic platform where Steiner systems are represented in the form of uniform hypergraphs. The constructions devised are then used to study the $2$-coloring properties of these uniform hypergraphs.

On the construction of non-2-colorable uniform hypergraphs

The problem of 2-coloring uniform hypergraphs has been extensively studied over the last few decades. An n-uniform hypergraph is not 2-colorable if its vertices can't be colored with two colors, Red and Blue, such that every hyperedge contains Red as well as Blue vertices. The least possible number of hyperedges in an n-uniform hypergraph which is not 2-colorable is denoted by m(n). In this paper, we consider the problem of finding an upper bound on m(n) for small values of n. We provide constructions which improve the existing results for some such values of n. We obtain the first improvement in the case of n=8.
