Title
The local bases of primitive non-powerfull signed symmetric digraphs with loops.
Abstract
Let S be a primitive non-powerful signed digraph of order n. The base of a vertex it, denoted by l(S)(u), is the smallest positive integer I such that there is a pair of SSSD walks of length t from it to each vertex upsilon is an element of V(S) for any integer t >= l. We choose to order the vertices of S in such a way that l(S)(1) <= l(S)(2) <= l(S)(n) and call l(S)(k) the kth local bast, of S for 1 <= k <= n. In this work, we use PNSSD to denote the class of all primitive non-powerful signed symmetric digraphs of order n with at least one loop. Let l(k) be the largest value of l(S)(k) for S is an element of PNSSD, and L(k) = {l(S)(k) vertical bar S is an element of PNSSD). For n >= 1 and 1 < k < n - 1, we show l(S)(k) = 2n - 1 and L(k) {2, 3, ..., 2n-1}. Further, we characterize all primitive non-powerful signed symmetric digraphs whose kth local bases attain l(k).
