Phylogenetic networks model reticulate evolutionary histories. The last two decades have seen an increased interest in establishing mathematical results and developing computational methods for inferring and analyzing these networks. A…

We study the computational problem of checking whether a quantified conjunctive query (a first-order sentence built using only conjunction as Boolean connective) is true in a finite poset (a reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive directed…

A combinatorial substitution is a map over tilings which allows to define sets of tilings with a strong hierarchical structure. In this paper, we show that such sets of tilings are sofic, that is, can be enforced by finitely many local…

We introduce a new type of aperiodic hexagonal monotile; a prototile that admits infinitely many tilings of the plane, but any such tiling lacks any translational symmetry. Adding a copy of our monotile to a patch of tiles must satisfy two…

Influence diagrams allow for intuitive and yet precise description of complex situations involving decision making under uncertainty. Unfortunately, most of the problems described by influence diagrams are hard to solve. In this paper we…

We show that given any tiling of Euclidean space, any geometric patterns of points, we can find a patch of tiles (of arbitrarily large size) so that copies of this patch appear in the tiling nearly centered on a scaled and translated…

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle. For certain triangles $T$ (the "tile") and certain $N$, it is possible to cut $ABC$ into $N$ copies of $T$. It is known that only certain shapes of $T$ are possible, but until now very little was known…

In this article we complete the work of enumerating typical abelian coverings of Cayley graphs, by reducing the problem to enumerating certain subgroups of finite abelian groups.

In this paper it is proved that there exist periodic monohedral tilings and finite seeds of colored tiles, which force non-periodic coloring of the whole plane

A dyadic tile of order n is any rectangle obtained from the unit square by n successive bisections by horizontal or vertical cuts. Let each dyadic tile of order n be available with probability p, independently of the others. We prove that…

We prove that finding a $k$-edge induced subgraph is fixed-parameter tractable, thereby answering an open problem of Leizhen Cai. Our algorithm is based on several combinatorial observations, Gauss' famous \emph{Eureka} theorem [Andrews,…

We give a proof of Ollinger's conjecture that the problem of tiling the plane with translated copies of a set of $8$ polyominoes is undecidable. The techniques employed in our proof include a different orientation for simulating the Wang…

We obtain structural results on translational tilings of periodic functions in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ by finite tiles. In particular, we show that any level one tiling of a periodic set in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ must be weakly periodic (the disjoint union…

We present and prove closed form expressions for some families of binomial determinants with signed Kronecker deltas that are located along an arbitrary diagonal in the corresponding matrix. They count cyclically symmetric rhombus tilings…

Using fiber products, we construct bi-orderable groups from left-orderable groups. As an application, we show that bi-orderability is not a profinite property, answering a question of Piwek and Wykowski negatively. We also show that the…

After identifying the reduced incidence algebra of an arbitrary cobweb poset the very first properties of these algebras are being disclosed.

Let $(W,S)$ be an affine Coxeter system of type $\widetilde{B}$ or $\widetilde{D}$ and ${\rm TL}(W)$ the corresponding generalized Temperley-Lieb algebra. In this paper we define an infinite dimensional associative algebra made of decorated…

Motivated by generalizing Khovanov's categorification of the Jones polynomial, we study functors $F$ from thin posets $P$ to abelian categories $\mathcal{A}$. Such functors $F$ produce cohomology theories $H^*(P,\mathcal{A},F)$. We find…

We introduce and study additive posets. We show that the top homology group (with coefficients in Z/2Z) of a finite dimensional CW-complex carries a structure of an additive poset invariant under subdivisions. Applications to CW-complexes…

We introduce polytopal cell complexes associated with partial acyclic orientations of a simple graph, which generalize acyclic orientations. Using the theory of cellular resolutions, two of these polytopal cell complexes are observed to…
