For a rank two root system and a pair of nonnegative integers, using only elementary combinatorics we construct two posets. The constructions are uniform across the root systems A1+A1, A2, C2, and G2. Examples appear in Figures 3.2 and 3.3.…
We prove a conjecture of Penrose about the standard random geometric graph process, in which n vertices are placed at random on the unit square and edges are sequentially added in increasing order of lengths taken in the l_p norm. We show…
An acyclic set in a digraph is a set of vertices that induces an acyclic subgraph. In 2011, Harutyunyan conjectured that every planar digraph on $n$ vertices without directed 2-cycles possesses an acyclic set of size at least $3n/5$. We…
This is an introduction to the M\"obius function of a poset. The chief novelty is in the exposition. We show how order-preserving maps from one poset to another can be used to relate their M\"obius functions. We derive the basic results on…
Comparability graphs are graphs which have transitive orientations. The dimension of a poset is the least number of linear orders whose intersection gives this poset. The dimension ${\rm dim}(X)$ of a comparability graph $X$ is the…
Our paper develops a theory of Poisson slices and a uniform approach to their partial compactifications. The theory in question is loosely comparable to that of symplectic cross-sections in real symplectic geometry.
The purpose of the present paper is to give a realization of a cylindric diagram as a subset of root systems of type $A_{\kappa-1}^{(1)}$ and several characterization of its poset structure. Furthermore, the set of order ideals of a…
In this paper, we study partitions of positive integers into distinct quasifibonacci numbers. A digraph and poset structure is constructed on the set of such partitions. Furthermore, we discuss the symmetric and recursive relations between…
In this article, we study the structure of the graph implied by a given map on the set $S_p=\{1,2,\dots,p-1\}$, where $p$ is an odd prime. The consecutive applications of the map generate an integer sequence, or in graph theoretical context…
In 2016, Hasebe and Tsujie gave a recursive characterization of the set of induced $N$-free and bowtie-free posets; Misanantenaina and Wagner studied these orders further, naming them "$\mathcal{V}$-posets". Here we offer a new…
In previous work, we associated a module $T(i)$ to every segment $i$ of a link diagram $K$ and showed that there is a poset isomorphism between the submodules of $T(i)$ and the Kauffman states of $K$ relative to $i$. In this paper, we show…
We give a projective proof of the butterfly porism for cyclic quadrilaterals and present a general reversion porism for polygons with an arbitrary number of vertices on a conic. We also investigate projective properties of the porisms.
Every lattice is isomorphic to a lattice whose elements are sets of sets, and whose operations are intersection and an operation extending the union of two sets of sets A and B by the set of all sets in which the intersection of an element…
Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We present a unifying perspective on ASMs and other combinatorial objects by studying…
We construct and study a class of algebras associated to generalized layered graphs, i.e. directed graphs with a ranking function on their vertices. Each finite directed acyclic graph admits countably many structures of a generalized…
In an earlier paper the first two authors have shown that self-complementary graphs can always be oriented in such a way that the union of the oriented version and its isomorphically oriented complement gives a transitive tournament. We…
We show that the Voronoi cells of the lattice of integer flows of a finite connected graph $G$ in the quadratic vector space of real valued flows have the following very precise combinatorics: the face poset of a Voronoi cell is isomorphic…
In the latest developments in the theory of skew lattices, distributivity has been one of the main topics of study. The largest classes of examples of such algebras are distributive. Unlike what happens in lattices, the properties of…
Let $D=(V,A)$ be an acyclic digraph. For $x\in V$ define $e_{_{D}}(x)$ to be the difference of the indegree and the outdegree of $x$. An acyclic ordering of the vertices of $D$ is a one-to-one map $g: V \rightarrow [1,|V|] $ that has the…
For oriented surfaces $\Sigma$ with boundary, we consider the infinite-dimensional deformation space of projective structures on $\Sigma$ with nondegenerate boundary, up to isotopies fixing the boundary. We show that this space carries a…
