6.3. Graphs That Support Diversity
A natural goal is to characterize the bipartite graphs that support diversity, and the
first result of this section does this for complete bipartite graphs.
Theorem 6.3. The complete graph K p,q supports diversity if and only if p is even
and q =1 .
Proof.
Assume that (
V
,
W
,
E
,η,γ ) is a complete diversity graph. Suppose that
> 1. Then, from Theorem 6.1 we have for any w 1 and w 2 in
|W|
W
that
max { deg( w 1 ) , deg( w 2 ) }≥ 2 |N ( w 1 ) ∩N ( w 2 ) | =2 |V|,
which is a contradiction. So,
|W|
=1.
The fact that genotypes need pairs of
haplotypes guarantees that
is even.
Now assume that p is even and q =1. Select n so that
|V|
< 2 n and let γ
be such that γ ( w )=(0 , 0 ,..., 0).Thereare2 n− 1 disjoint pairs of haplotypes
that can mate to form γ ( w ).Pick
|V|
H be the set of
|V|
/ 2 of these pairs and let
V→H
haplotypes in these pairs. Allowing η :
to be a bijection, we see that
(
V
,
W
,
E
,η,γ ) is a diversity graph.
From Theorem 6.3 we see that the probability of generating a complete bi-
partite graph of the form K p, 1 that supports diversity is one half (assuming that
even and odd values of p are equally likely). In some ways, the next result extends
this idea by showing that the probability of generating a random bipartite graph
that supports diversity is low. The result decomposes the biadjacency matrix into
matrices whose rows sums are all 2, which guarantees a mating structure.
Theorem 6.4. The bipartite graph (
) supports diversity if and only if the
biadjacency matrix E has a logical decomposition E 1 ,E 2 ,...,E s so that
V
,
W
,
E
e T E k =2 e T for all 1
k
s ,
} |V|×n with distinct rows and the property
that ( E 1 ) T H =( E 2 ) T H = ... =( E s ) T H , and
there exists an H
∈{−
1 , 1
the rows of ( E k ) T H are distinct.
Proof.
Assume
that (
V
,
W
,
E
,η,γ ) is
a
diversity
graph,
and
let s =
so that deg( w 1 )
(1 / 2)max
{
deg( w ): w
∈W}
.
Order the elements of
W
deg( w 2 )
deg( w |W| ). We construct the matrices E 1 ,E 2 ,...,E s that
form a desired logical decomposition. The neighborhood of each w j can be writ-
ten as the disjoint union of (1 / 2)deg( w j ) pairs,
N ( w j )=
...
v k j ,v k j }
