Abstract

The closed neighbourhood $N[v]$ of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$, consisting of at least one vertex from all colour classes with respect to a proper colouring of $G$, is called a rainbow neighbourhood in $G$. The minimum number of vertices and the maximum number of vertices which yield rainbow neighbourhoods with respect to a chromatic colouring of $G$ are called the minimum and maximum rainbow neighbourhood numbers, denoted by $r^-_χ(G)$, $r^+_χ(G)$ respectively. In this paper, by a colour, we mean a solid colour and by a transparent colour, we mean the fading of a solid colour. The fading numbers of a graph $G$, denoted by $f^-(G)$, $f^+(G)$ respectively, are the maximum number of vertices for which the colour may fade to transparent without a decrease in $r^-_χ(G)$ and $r^+_χ(G)$ respectively.

A Theory of Scales and Orbit Covers

This paper develops a formal theory of musical scales and their harmonic coverings and introduces orbit covers: coverings obtained by translating a fixed subset across a scale via a group action. Orbit covers generalize familiar constructions, such as the covering of the diatonic scale by tertian triads, and are motivated by the search for a generalized harmonic framework extending common-practice tonality. We model modes as group structures associated with pitch-class sets and scales as torsors, introducing scale covers and, in particular, orbit covers. To each orbit cover we associate a nerve complex encoding its intersection structure and associated topological invariants. We classify triadic orbit covers of heptatonic scales up to affine symmetry and nerve isomorphism. These results support a broader theory of harmonic organization with analytical and compositional applications.
