We explore some connections between vectors of integers and integer partitions seen as bi-infinite words. This methodology enables us on the one hand to obtain enumerations connecting products of hook lengths and vectors of integers. This…
We investigate clique trees of infinite locally finite chordal graphs. Our main contribution is a bijection between the set of clique trees and the product of local finite families of finite trees. Even more, the edges of a clique tree are…
An elegant procedure which characterizes a decomposition of some class of binomial configurations into two other, resembling a definition of Pascal's Triangle, was given in \cite{gevay}. In essence, this construction was already presented…
The primary objects of study in the ``knot theory of complex plane curves'' are C-links: links (or knots) cut out of a 3-sphere in the complex plane by complex plane transverse and totally tangential. Transverse C-links are naturally…
This paper considers the planar figure of a combinatorial polytope or tessellation identified by the Coxeter symbol $k_{i,j}$ , inscribed in a conic, satisfying the geometric constraint that each octahedral cell has a centre. This…
We study tangent sets of strictly self-affine sets in the plane. If a set in this class satisfies the strong separation condition and projects to a line segment for sufficiently many directions, then for each generic point there exists a…
A $k$-star is a complete bipartite graph $K_{1,k}$. A partial $k$-star design of order $n$ is a pair $(V,\mathcal{A})$ where $V$ is a set of $n$ vertices and $\mathcal{A}$ is a set of edge-disjoint $k$-stars whose vertex sets are subsets of…
Fast exact algorithms are known for Hamiltonian paths in undirected and directed bipartite graphs through elegant though involved algorithms that are quite different from each other. We devise algorithms that are simple and similar to each…
We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…
We want to introduce a construction of spherical designs from finite graphs with the theory of crystal lattice. We start from a finite graph, and we consider standard realization of the crystal lattices as the maximal Abelian covering of…
We give an analysis over a variation of causal sets where the light cone of an event is represented by finitely branching trees with respect to any given arbitrary dynamics. We argue through basic topological properties of Cantor space that…
We consider and characterize classes of finite and countably categorical structures and their theories preserved under $E$-operators and $P$-operators. We describe $e$-spectra and families of finite cardinalities for structures belonging to…
This paper presents "oriented pivoting systems" as an abstract framework for complementary pivoting. It gives a unified simple proof that the endpoints of complementary pivoting paths have opposite sign. A special case are the Nash…
This article considers some affine algebraic varieties attached to finite trees and closely related to cluster algebras. Their definition involves a canonical coloring of vertices of trees into three colors. These varieties are proved to be…
If $G$ is a group acting on a set $\Omega$ and $\alpha, \beta \in \Omega$, the digraph whose vertex set is $\Omega$ and whose arc set is the orbit $(\alpha, \beta)^G$ is called an {\em orbital digraph} of $G$. Each orbit of the stabiliser…
Percolation on a one-dimensional lattice and fractals such as the Sierpinski gasket is typically considered to be trivial because they percolate only at full bond density. By dressing up such lattices with small-world bonds, a novel…
The boundary of a numerical range of a finite matrix is always a nice curve (algebraic, closed and simple), but the equation it satisfies is often very complicated. We will show that, furthermore, there is no hope of describing these curves…
Consider 2n points on the unit circle and a reference dissection D of the convex hull of the odd points. The accordion complex of D is the simplicial complex of subsets of pairwise noncrossing diagonals with even endpoints that cross a…
As the parameters of a piecewise-smooth system of ODEs are varied, a periodic orbit undergoes a bifurcation when it collides with a surface where the system is discontinuous. Under certain conditions this is a grazing-sliding bifurcation.…
The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of split semisimple orbits of a given genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are…
