Integration of FogBus2 Framework with Container Orchestration Tools in Cloud and Edge Computing Environments

Currently, due to the advantages of light weight, simple deployment, multi-environment support, short startup time, scalability, and easy migration, container technology has been widely used in both cloud and edge/fog computing, and addresses the problem of device heterogeneity in different computing environments. On this basis, as one of the most popular container orchestration and management systems, Kubernetes almost dominates the cloud environment. However, since it is primarily designed for centralized resource management scenarios where computing resources are sufficient, the system is unstable in edge environments due to hardware limitations. Therefore, in order to realize container orchestration in the cloud and edge/fog hybrid computing environment, we propose a feasible approach to build a hybrid clustering based on K3s, which solves the problem that virtual instances in different environments cannot be connected due to IP addresses. We also propose three design patterns for deploying the FogBus2 framework into hybrid environments, including 1) Host Network Mode, 2) Proxy Server, and 3) Environment Variable.

Counting Hamiltonian cycles in planar triangulations

Hakimi, Schmeichel, and Thomassen in 1979 conjectured that every $4$-connected planar triangulation $G$ on $n$ vertices has at least $2(n-2)(n-4)$ Hamiltonian cycles, with equality if and only if $G$ is a double wheel. In this paper, we show that every $4$-connected planar triangulation on $n$ vertices has $Ω(n^2)$ Hamiltonian cycles. Moreover, we show that if $G$ is a $4$-connected planar triangulation on $n$ vertices and the distance between any two vertices of degree $4$ in $G$ is at least $3$, then $G$ has $2^{Ω(n^{1/4})}$ Hamiltonian cycles.

Maximum spectral radius of outerplanar 3-uniform hypergraphs

In this paper, we study the maximum spectral radius of outerplanar $3$-uniform hypergraphs. Given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, the shadow of $\mathcal{H}$ is a graph $G$ with $V(G)= V(\mathcal{H})$ and $E(G) = \{uv: uv \in h \textrm{ for some } h\in E(\mathcal{H})\}$. A graph is \textit{outerplanar} if it can be embedded in the plane such that all its vertices lie on the outer face. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called \textit{outerplanar} if its shadow has an outerplanar embedding such that every hyperedge of $\mathcal{H}$ is the vertex set of an interior triangular face of the shadow. Cvetković and Rowlinson conjectured in 1990 that among all outerplanar graphs on $n$ vertices, the graph $K_1+ P_{n-1}$ attains the maximum spectral radius. We show a hypergraph analogue of the Cvetković-Rowlinson conjecture. In particular, we show that for sufficiently large $n$, the $n$-vertex outerplanar $3$-uniform hypergraph of maximum spectral radius is the unique $3$-uniform hypergraph whose shadow is $K_1 + P_{n-1}$.

Anti-Ramsey number of edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees in all graphs

An edge-colored graph $G$ is called \textit{rainbow} if every edge of $G$ receives a different color. Given any host graph $G$, the \textit{anti-Ramsey} number of $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees in $G$, denoted by $r(G,t)$, is defined as the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of $G$ containing no $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees. For any vertex partition $P$, let $E(P,G)$ be the set of non-crossing edges in $G$ with respect to $P$. In this paper, we determine $r(G,t)$ for all host graphs $G$: $r(G,t)=|E(G)|$ if there exists a partition $P_0$ with $|E(G)|-|E(P_0,G)|<t(|P_0|-1)$; and $r(G,t)=\max_{P\colon |P|\geq 3} \{|E(P,G)|+t(|P|-2)\}$ otherwise. As a corollary, we determine $r(K_{p,q},t)$ for all values of $p,q, t$, improving a result of Jia, Lu and Zhang.

SNR-Based Teachers-Student Technique for Speech Enhancement

It is very challenging for speech enhancement methods to achieves robust performance under both high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and low SNR simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a method that integrates an SNR-based teachers-student technique and time-domain U-Net to deal with this problem. Specifically, this method consists of multiple teacher models and a student model. We first train the teacher models under multiple small-range SNRs that do not coincide with each other so that they can perform speech enhancement well within the specific SNR range. Then, we choose different teacher models to supervise the training of the student model according to the SNR of the training data. Eventually, the student model can perform speech enhancement under both high SNR and low SNR. To evaluate the proposed method, we constructed a dataset with an SNR ranging from -20dB to 20dB based on the public dataset. We experimentally analyzed the effectiveness of the SNR-based teachers-student technique and compared the proposed method with several state-of-the-art methods.

UNetGAN: A Robust Speech Enhancement Approach in Time Domain for Extremely Low Signal-to-noise Ratio Condition

Speech enhancement at extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition is a very challenging problem and rarely investigated in previous works. This paper proposes a robust speech enhancement approach (UNetGAN) based on U-Net and generative adversarial learning to deal with this problem. This approach consists of a generator network and a discriminator network, which operate directly in the time domain. The generator network adopts a U-Net like structure and employs dilated convolution in the bottleneck of it. We evaluate the performance of the UNetGAN at low SNR conditions (up to -20dB) on the public benchmark. The result demonstrates that it significantly improves the speech quality and substantially outperforms the representative deep learning models, including SEGAN, cGAN fo SE, Bidirectional LSTM using phase-sensitive spectrum approximation cost function (PSA-BLSTM) and Wave-U-Net regarding Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI) and Perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ).

On the size of planar graphs with positive Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature

We show that if a planar graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $3$ has positive Lin-Lu-Yau Ricci curvature on every edge, then $Δ(G)\leq 17$, which then implies that $G$ is finite. This is an analogue of a result of DeVos and Mohar [{\em Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 2007}] on the size of planar graphs with positive combinatorial curvature.

On Hamiltonian Berge cycles in $3$-uniform hypergraphs

Given a set $R$, a hypergraph is $R$-uniform if the size of every hyperedge belongs to $R$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called \textit{covering} if every vertex pair is contained in some hyperedge in $\mathcal{H}$. In this note, we show that every covering $[3]$-uniform hypergraph on $n\geq 6$ vertices contains a Berge cycle $C_s$ for any $3\leq s\leq n$. As an application, we determine the maximum Lagrangian of $k$-uniform Berge-$C_{t}$-free hypergraphs and Berge-$P_{t}$-free hypergraphs.

Drosophila-Inspired 3D Moving Object Detection Based on Point Clouds

3D moving object detection is one of the most critical tasks in dynamic scene analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel Drosophila-inspired 3D moving object detection method using Lidar sensors. According to the theory of elementary motion detector, we have developed a motion detector based on the shallow visual neural pathway of Drosophila. This detector is sensitive to the movement of objects and can well suppress background noise. Designing neural circuits with different connection modes, the approach searches for motion areas in a coarse-to-fine fashion and extracts point clouds of each motion area to form moving object proposals. An improved 3D object detection network is then used to estimate the point clouds of each proposal and efficiently generates the 3D bounding boxes and the object categories. We evaluate the proposed approach on the widely-used KITTI benchmark, and state-of-the-art performance was obtained by using the proposed approach on the task of motion detection.

Saturation problems in the Ramsey theory of graphs, posets and point sets

In 1964, Erdős, Hajnal and Moon introduced a saturation version of Turán's classical theorem in extremal graph theory. In particular, they determined the minimum number of edges in a $K_r$-free, $n$-vertex graph with the property that the addition of any further edge yields a copy of $K_r$. We consider analogues of this problem in other settings. We prove a saturation version of the Erdős-Szekeres theorem about monotone subsequences and saturation versions of some Ramsey-type theorems on graphs and Dilworth-type theorems on posets. We also consider semisaturation problems, wherein we allow the family to have the forbidden configuration, but insist that any addition to the family yields a new copy of the forbidden configuration. In this setting, we prove a semisaturation version of the Erdős-Szekeres theorem on convex $k$-gons, as well as multiple semisaturation theorems for sequences and posets.

Anti-Ramsey number of edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees

An edge-colored graph $G$ is called rainbow if every edge of $G$ receives a different color. The anti-Ramsey number of $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees, denoted by $r(n,t)$, is defined as the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of $K_n$ containing no $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees. Jahanbekam and West [J. Graph Theory, 2014] conjectured that for any fixed $t$, $r(n,t)=\binom{n-2}{2}+t$ whenever $n\geq 2t+2 \geq 6$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture. We also determine $r(n,t)$ when $n = 2t+1$. Together with previous results, this gives the anti-Ramsey number of $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees for all values of $n$ and $t$.

Ramsey numbers of Berge-hypergraphs and related structures

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a Berge-$G$, denoted by $BG$, if there exists a bijection $f: E(G) \to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for every $e \in E(G)$, $e \subseteq f(e)$. Let the Ramsey number $R^r(BG,BG)$ be the smallest integer $n$ such that for any $2$-edge-coloring of a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, there is a monochromatic Berge-$G$ subhypergraph. In this paper, we show that the 2-color Ramsey number of Berge cliques is linear. In particular, we show that $R^3(BK_s, BK_t) = s+t-3$ for $s,t \geq 4$ and $\max(s,t) \geq 5$ where $BK_n$ is a Berge-$K_n$ hypergraph. For higher uniformity, we show that $R^4(BK_t, BK_t) = t+1$ for $t\geq 6$ and $R^k(BK_t, BK_t)=t$ for $k \geq 5$ and $t$ sufficiently large. We also investigate the Ramsey number of trace hypergraphs, suspension hypergraphs and expansion hypergraphs.

Some remarks on the midrange crossing constant

We verify an upper bound of Pach and Tóth [Combinatorica 17(1997), 427-439, Discrete and Computational Geometry 36(2006), 527-552] on the midrange crossing constant. Details of their $\frac{8}{9π^2}$ upper bound have not been available. Our verification is different from their method and hinges on a result of Moon [J. Soc. Indust. Appl. Math. 13(1965), 506-510]. As Moon's result is optimal, we raise the question whether the midrange crossing constant is $\frac{8}{9π^2}$.

Concentration inequalities in spaces of random configurations with positive Ricci curvatures

In this paper, we prove an Azuma-Hoeffding-type inequality in several classical models of random configurations, including the Erdős-Rényi random graph models $G(n,p)$ and $G(n,M)$, the random $d$-out(in)-regular directed graphs, and the space of random permutations. The main idea is using Ollivier's work on the Ricci curvature of Markov chairs on metric spaces. Here we give a cleaner form of such concentration inequality in graphs. Namely, we show that for any Lipschitz function $f$ on any graph (equipped with an ergodic random walk and thus an invariant distribution $ν$) with Ricci curvature at least $κ>0$, we have \[ν\left( |f-E_νf| \geq t \right) \leq 2\exp\left( -\frac{t^2κ}{7} \right).\]

On the cover Turán number of Berge hypergraphs

For a fixed set of positive integers $R$, we say $\mathcal{H}$ is an $R$-uniform hypergraph, or $R$-graph, if the cardinality of each edge belongs to $R$. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a Berge-$G$, denoted by $BG$, if there exists a bijection $f: E(G) \to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for every $e \in E(G)$, $e \subseteq f(e)$. In this paper, we define a variant of Turán number in hypergraphs, namely the cover Turán number, denoted as $\hat{ex}_R(n, G)$, as the maximum number of edges in the shadow graph of a Berge-$G$ free $R$-graph on $n$ vertices. We show a general upper bound on the cover Turán number of graphs and determine the cover Turán density of all graphs when the uniformity of the host hypergraph equals to $3$.

On the cover Ramsey number of Berge hypergraphs

For a fixed set of positive integers $R$, we say $\mathcal{H}$ is an $R$-uniform hypergraph, or $R$-graph, if the cardinality of each edge belongs to $R$. An $R$-graph $\mathcal{H}$ is \emph{covering} if every vertex pair of $\mathcal{H}$ is contained in some hyperedge. For a graph $G=(V,E)$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a \textit{Berge}-$G$, denoted by $BG$, if there exists an injection $f: E(G) \to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for every $e \in E(G)$, $e \subseteq f(e)$. In this note, we define a new type of Ramsey number, namely the \emph{cover Ramsey number}, denoted as $\hat{R}^R(BG_1, BG_2)$, as the smallest integer $n_0$ such that for every covering $R$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n \geq n_0$ vertices and every $2$-edge-coloring (blue and red) of $\mathcal{H}$ , there is either a blue Berge-$G_1$ or a red Berge-$G_2$ subhypergraph. We show that for every $k\geq 2$, there exists some $c_k$ such that for any finite graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, $R(G_1, G_2) \leq \hat{R}^{[k]}(BG_1, BG_2) \leq c_k \cdot R(G_1, G_2)^3$. Moreover, we show that for each positive integer $d$ and $k$, there exists a constant $c = c(d,k)$ such that if $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $d$, then $\hat{R}^{[k]}(BG,BG) \leq cn$.

The extremal $p$-spectral radius of Berge-hypergraphs

Let $G$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ is a Berge-$G$ if there is a bijection $ϕ: E(G)\to E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq ϕ(e)$ for all $e\in E(G)$. For any $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ and a real number $p\geq 1$, the $p$-spectral radius $λ^{(p)}(H)$ of $H$ is defined as \[ λ^{(p)}(H):=\max_{{\bf x}\in\mathbb{R}^n,\,\|{\bf x}\|_p=1} r\sum_{\{i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_r\}\in E(H)} x_{i_1}x_{i_2}\cdots x_{i_r}. \] In this paper, we study the $p$-spectral radius of Berge-$G$ hypergraphs. We determine the $3$-uniform hypergraphs with maximum $p$-spectral radius for $p\geq 1$ among Berge-$G$ hypergraphs when $G$ is a path, a cycle or a star.

Midrange crossing constants for graphs classes

For positive integers $n$ and $e$, let $κ(n,e)$ be the minimum crossing number (the standard planar crossing number) taken over all graphs with $n$ vertices and at least $e$ edges. Pach, Spencer and Tóth [Discrete and Computational Geometry 24 623--644, (2000)] showed that $κ(n,e) n^2/e^3$ tends to a positive constant (called midrange crossing constant) as $n\to \infty$ and $n \ll e \ll n^2$, proving a conjecture of Erdős and Guy. In this note, we extend their proof to show that the midrange crossing constant exists for graph classes that satisfy a certain set of graph properties. As a corollary, we show that the the midrange crossing constant exists for the family of bipartite graphs. All these results have their analogues for rectilinear crossing numbers.
