Advancements in Research Mathematics through AI: A Framework for Conjecturing

Randy Davila

In the words of the esteemed mathematician Paul Erdös, the mathematician's task is to \emph{prove and conjecture}. These two processes form the bedrock of all mathematical endeavou…

Computer assisted discovery: Zero forcing vs vertex cover

Boris Brimkov, Randy Davila, Houston Schuerger +1

In this paper, we showcase the process of using an automated conjecturing program called \emph{TxGraffiti} written and maintained by the second author. We begin by proving a conjec…

Conjecture of TxGraffiti: Independence, domination, and matchings

Yair Caro, Randy Davila, Michael Henning +1

TxGraffiti is an automated conjecturing program that produces graph theoretic conjectures in the form of conjectured inequalities. This program written and maintained by the second…

New results relating independence and matchings

Yair Caro, Randy Davila, Ryan Pepper

In this paper we study relationships between the \emph{matching number}, written , and the \emph{independence number}, written . Our first main result is to show \[ α(G…

Zero Forcing in Claw-Free Cubic Graphs

Randy Davila, Michael Henning

The zero forcing number of a simple graph, written , is a NP-hard graph invariant which is the result of the zero forcing color change rule. This graph invariant has been hea…

Matching, Path Covers, and Total Forcing Sets

Randy Davila, Michael Henning

A dynamic coloring of the vertices of a graph starts with an initial subset of colored vertices, with all remaining vertices being non-colored. At each discrete time interv…
