On Improving the Edge-Face Coloring Theorem
In a previous paper, the authors proved a conjecture of Melnikov that the edges and faces of a plane graph of maximum degree Δ may be simultaneously colored with at most Δ+3 colors. In this paper, the theorem is reproved with a more direct technique, which also yields improvements. For Δ≤5, the theorem is extended to multigraphs. For Δ≥7, it is shown that Δ+2 colors suffice.

title: On cyclic colorings and their generalizations
abstract: A cyclic coloring is a vertex coloring such that vertices in a face receive different colors. Let Δ be the maximum face degree of a graph. This article shows that plane graphs have cyclic 9 5 Δ -colorings, improving results of Ore and Plummer, and of Borodin. The result is mainly a corollary of a best-possible upper bound on the minimum cyclic degree of a vertex of a plane graph in terms of its maximum face degree. The proof also yields results on the projective plane, as well as for d-diagonal colorings. Also, it is shown that plane graphs with Δ=5 have cyclic 8-colorings. This result and also the 9 5 Δ result are not necessarily best possible.

title: On Diagonally 10-Coloring Plane Triangulations
abstract: This article shows that the vertices of a plane triangulation may be colored with 10 colors such that every pair of vertices has different colors if they are either adjacent or diagonal, that is, that they are not adjacent but are adjacent to two faces which share an edge. This improves a result of Borodin, who showed that 11 colors were sufficient.

title: On the Edge Reconstruction of Graphs Embedded in Surfaces, III,
abstract: In this paper, we prove that if a connected graphGembeddable in a surface?of characteristic?(?) satisfies (1) the minimum degree ofG?5, (2) |V(G)|??43?(?), thenGis edge reconstructible. A direct consequence of the above result is that a triangulationGof a surface of characteristic?(?) is edge reconstructible if |V(G)|??43?(?).

title: On the edge-reconstruction of graphs embedded in surfaces IV
abstract: In this paper, by applying the discharging method, we give simple proofs that (1) every n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least 3 and girth at least 5 that is embeddable in a surface Σ of Euler characteristic at least -n/8 is edge-reconstructible, and (2) every n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least 4 that is embeddable without faces of length at most 3 in a surface Σ of Euler characteristic at least -n/6 is edge-reconstructible.

title: Research on Query-by-Committee Method of Active Learning and Application
abstract: Active learning aims at reducing the number of training examples to be labeled by automatically processing the unlabeled examples, then selecting the most informative ones with respect to a given cost function for a human to label. The major problem is to find the best selection strategy function to quickly reach high classification accuracy. Query-by-Committee (QBC) method of active learning is less computation than other active learning approaches, but its classification accuracy can not achieve the same high as passive learning. In this paper, a new selection strategy for the QBC method is presented by combining Vote Entropy with Kullback-Leibler divergence. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is better than previous QBC approach in classification accuracy. It can reach the same accuracy as passive learning with few labeled training examples.

title: Evolving Model for Small-World Network Based on Benefit Choice
abstract: Based on reviewing the research progress of evolving model for small-world network, the defects of present studies were pointed out. Taking a square grid as the basis, an evolving model for small-world network based on benefit choice was built. This model is different from other papers in which limitation of vector' degree was considered. Then, the author proposed a simulation scheme and compared the network generated by simulation with a same scale random network. The results show that this network has small-world characteristic. Finally, several directions were given.

title: Pseudo-surface based network camera smart control
abstract: Network camera is widely used in a lot of fields, such as remote monitoring, video conference. However, in almost network camera systems, the camera remote control is realized by using a remote controller or a personal computer with a crude user interface. This kind of control methods are not effective in the situation such as real time distance class where a smart operation is needed for the teacher. This article proposes a pseudo-surface based control method for network camera remote control. This method can improve the operativeness of the network camera control without using special devices other than a control computer. The effectiveness of this method was proven by a simulation system. In this article the principle of this method is described, and several examples of it are introduced.

title: Optimal Spectrum Management in Multiuser Interference Channels
abstract: In this paper, we study the problem of continuous frequency optimal spectrum management in multiuser frequency selective interference channels. We assume that interference is treated as noise by the decoders, and separate encoding is applied. First, a simple pair-wise channel condition for frequency division multiple access schemes to achieve all Pareto optimal points of the rate region is derived. It enables fully distributed global optimal decision making on whether any two users should use orthogonal channels. Next, we present an analytical solution to finding the maximum sum-rate in two-user symmetric frequency flat channels. Generalizing this solution to frequency selective channels, a convex optimization is established that yields the global optimum. Finally, we show that our method generalizes to K-user (K ≥ 2) weighted sum-rate maximization in asymmetric frequency selective channels, and we transform this classic nonconvex optimization to an equivalent convex optimization in the primal domain.

title: E-Mail Services on Hybrid P2P Networks
abstract: As one of the most important services of Internet, e-mail is widely used in both commercial business and personal communication. In this paper, we explore ways to develop e-mail systems on P2P networks to overcome the weakness of traditional server-centric e-mail systems. We propose a framework of e-mail system based on hybrid P2P network, and present three implementations of the proposed framework, each of which has different capability, reliability. Our system is more flexible and reliable than the traditional e-mail systems.
