The purpose of these observations was to detect variability events and their types of variability in star members of these four clusters. Data analysis was performed using a differential photometry method to produce light curves. Several new variable star candidates were discovered in the observed clusters. More observational data are needed to examine the consistency of the variabilities, estimate relevant periodicity, and determine the type of variable star.</p> Denny Mandey Dhimaz Gilang Ramadhan Muhammad Yusuf Teduh Perhati Sahlan Ramadhan Theofilus Hobba Pramono Chornelis J’Be Anin Premana Wardayanti Premadi Anton Timur Jaelani Agus Triono Puri Jatmiko Mochamad Ikbal Arifyanto Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-02-28 2026-02-28 57 3 173 183 10.5614/j.math.fund.sci.2026.57.3.1 https://journals.itb.ac.id/index.php/jmfs/article/view/27226 <p>Quantum walks offer promising advantages for search algorithms over graphs. Among these, Grover’s quantum search provides a quadratic speedup with a time complexity of for unstructured search problems. Nevertheless, Grover search performs poorly on cyclic graphs due to the dynamics of the Grover walk. This study explores the behavior of Grover’s quantum walk on cyclic graphs , analyzing the probability distribution of finding the marked vertex. To analyze this behavior, we extend each vertex of the cycle by attaching semi-infinite-length paths (tails). We develop a direct analytical approach to obtain the transition matrix , whose elements are independent of . For small cycles , we observe success probabilities exceeding 0.5. In contrast, with large cycles, the effectiveness drops rapidly. We observe that the success probability approaches zero as the size of the graph increases , indicating the limitations of the quantum search in cyclic structures.</p> Chamod Kaushalya Mohamed Sabri Anuradha Mahasinghe Awansika Nimuthumana Asanka Sayakkara Kasun De Zoysa Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2026-03-16 2026-03-16 57 3 184 203 10.5614/j.math.fund.sci.2026.57.3.2
