The site percolation problem is studied on d-dimensional generalisations of the Kagome' lattice. These lattices are isotropic and have the same coordination number q as the hyper-cubic lattices in d dimensions, namely q=2d. The site…
In this work we investigate the problem of estimating the percolation centrality of every vertex in a graph. This centrality measure quantifies the importance of each vertex in a graph going through a contagious process. It is an open…
We present a new method to calculate analytically the roots of the general complex polynomial of degree three. Thismethod is based on the approach of appropriated changes of variable involving an arbitrary parameter. The advantageof this…
We state a kind of Euclidian division theorem: given a polynomial P(x) and a divisor d of the degree of P, there exist polynomials h(x),Q(x),R(x) such that P(x) = h(Q(x)) +R(x), with deg h=d. Under some conditions h,Q,R are unique, and Q is…
In site percolation, vertices (sites) of a graph are open with probability p, and there is critical p, for which open vertices form an open path the long way across a graph, so a vertex at the origin is a part of an infinite connected open…
We consider Bernoulli bond percolation on the product graph of a regular tree and a line. Schonmann showed that there are a.s. infinitely many infinite clusters at $p=p_u$ by using a certain function $\alpha(p)$. The function $\alpha(p)$ is…
A wide variety of methods have been used to compute percolation thresholds. In lattice percolation, the most powerful of these methods consists of microcanonical simulations using the union-find algorithm to efficiently determine the…
We consider ideals involving the maximal minors of a polynomial matrix. For example, those arising in the computation of the critical values of a polynomial restricted to a variety for polynomial optimisation. Gr\"obner bases are a…
Classical complexity theory measures the cost of computing a function, but many computational tasks require committing to one valid output among several. We introduce determination depth -- the minimum number of sequential layers of…
An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. Let $\alpha(G)$ denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set in the graph $G = (V, E)$. Gutman and Harary defined the independence polynomial of $G$ \[ I(G;x)…
We give an efficient perfect sampling algorithm for weighted, connected induced subgraphs (or graphlets) of rooted, bounded degree graphs. Our algorithm utilizes a vertex-percolation process with a carefully chosen rejection filter and…
We consider the problem of computing critical points of the restriction of a polynomial map to an algebraic variety. This is of first importance since the global minimum of such a map is reached at a critical point. Thus, these points…
A perturbed lattice is a point process $\Pi=\{x+Y_x:x\in \mathbb{Z}^d\}$ where the lattice points in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ are perturbed by i.i.d.\ random variables $\{Y_x\}_{x\in \mathbb{Z}^d}$. A random point process $\Pi$ is said to be rigid if…
The aim of this paper is to explore possible ways of extending Smirnov's proof of Cardy's formula for critical site-percolation on the triangular lattice to other cases (such as bond-percolation on the square lattice); the main question we…
The Tutte polynomial of a graph or a matroid, named after W. T. Tutte, has the important universal property that essentially any multiplicative graph or network invariant with a deletion and contraction reduction must be an evaluation of…
Determining deep holes is an important topic in decoding Reed-Solomon codes. In a previous paper [8], we showed that the received word $u$ is a deep hole of the standard Reed-Solomon codes $[q-1, k]_q$ if its Lagrange interpolation…
We obtain the exact solution of the bond-percolation thresholds with inhomogenous probabilities on the square lattice. Our method is based on the duality analysis with real-space renormalization, which is a profound technique invented in…
We have developed a parallel algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 110. We have also extended the series for the first 10 area-weighted moments and the radius of…
We describe a version of the FGLM algorithm that can be used to compute generic fibers of positive-dimensional polynomial ideals. It combines the FGLM algorithm with a Hensel lifting strategy. In analogy with Hensel lifting, we show that…
The Hamming graph $H(d,n)$ is the Cartesian product of $d$ complete graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $m=d(n-1)$ be the degree and $V = n^d$ be the number of vertices of $H(d,n)$. Let $p_c^{(d)}$ be the critical point for bond percolation on…
