This thesis deals with the enumerative study of combinatorial maps, and its application to the enumeration of other combinatorial objects. Combinatorial maps, or simply maps, form a rich combinatorial model. They have an intuitive and…
In 1981, Andr\'e Joyal provided a combinatorial interpretation of the algebra of formal power series, a central gadget in the toolkit of enumerative combinatorics. In Joyal's theory of species of structures, combinatorial species (like…
We give estimates on the number of combinatorial designs, which prove (and generalise) a conjecture of Wilson from 1974 on the number of Steiner Triple Systems. This paper also serves as an expository treatment of our recently developed…
We revisit the problem of enumeration of vertex-tricolored planar random triangulations solved in [Nucl. Phys. B 516 [FS] (1998) 543-587] in the light of recent combinatorial developments relating classical planar graph counting problems to…
In 2006 Qian [J. Qian, Degree complete graphs; Discrete Mathematics 306 (2006), 533--537] introduced the concept of degree complete graphs for labeled graphs. He also gave a characterization of these graphs in terms of two forbidden…
Firstly, for a general graph, we find a recursion formula on the number of Hamiltonian cycles and one on cycles. By this result, we give some new polynomial invariants. Secondly, we give a condition to tell whether a polynomial defined by…
We provide a description of unlabelled enumeration techniques, with complete proofs, for graphs that can be canonically obtained by substituting 2-pole networks for the edges of core graphs. Using structure theorems for toroidal and…
There have been rapid developments in model-based clustering of graphs, also known as block modelling, over the last ten years or so. We review different approaches and extensions proposed for different aspects in this area, such as the…
A descent of a labeled acyclic digraph is a directed edge $x\to y$ with $x>y$. In this paper, we find a recurrence for the number of labeled acyclic digraphs with a given number of descents.
We present, to the best of the authors' knowledge, all known results for the (planar) crossing numbers of specific graphs and graph families. The results are separated into various categories; specifically, results for general graph…
A graph is periodic if it can be obtained by joining identical pieces in a cyclic fashion. It is shown that the limit crossing number of a periodic graph is computable. This answers a question of Benny Pinontoan and Bruce Richter (2004).
Results of Fowler and Sims show that every k-graph is completely determined by its k-coloured skeleton and collection of commuting squares. Here we give an explicit description of the k-graph associated to a given skeleton and collection of…
We propose a universal approach to a range of enumeration problems in graphs. The key point is in contracting suitably chosen symmetric tensors placed at the vertices of a graph along the edges. In particular, this leads to an algorithm…
The notion of p-competition graphs of digraphs was introduced by S-R. Kim, T. A. McKee, F. R. McMorris, and F. S. Roberts [p-competition graphs, Linear Algebra Appl., 217 (1995) 167--178] as a generalization of the competition graphs of…
We investigate topological, combinatorial, statistical, and enumeration properties of finite graphs with high Kolmogorov complexity (almost all graphs) using the novel incompressibility method. Example results are: (i) the mean and variance…
Let $G$ be a simple graph and let $\mathcal{L}(G)$ be the free partially commutative Lie algebra associated to $G$. In this paper, using heaps of pieces, we prove an expression for the generalized $\textbf k$-chromatic polynomial of $G$ in…
In here, I present a series of combinatorial equalities derived using a graph based approach. Different nodes in the graphs are visited following probabilistic dynamics of a moving dot. The results are presented in such a way that the…
We update the table of large undirected graphs with given degree and diameter with results obtained since the publication of the survey by M. Miller and J. \v{S}ir\'{a}\v{n} in the {\em Electronic Journal of Combinatorics} (Dynamic Survey…
Universal cycles, such as De Bruijn cycles, are cyclic sequences of symbols that represent every combinatorial object from some family exactly once as a consecutive subsequence. Graph universal cycles are a graph analogue of universal…
We study ranked enumeration of join-query results according to very general orders defined by selective dioids. Our main contribution is a framework for ranked enumeration over a class of dynamic programming problems that generalizes…
