Abstract:
      The maxinmum jump number M(n, k) over a class of n×n matrices of zerosand ones with constant row and column sum k has been investigated by Brualdi andJung in [1] where they proposed the conjecture M(2k, k + 1) = 3k - 1 + [(k-1)/2]. In this note, we give two counter-examples to this conjecture.
