Wiring diagrams usually serve as a tool in the study of arrangements of lines and pseudolines. In this paper we go in the opposite direction, using known properties of line arrangements to motivate certain equivalence relations and actions…
In a family ${G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_m}$ of graphs sharing the same vertex set $V$, a cooperative coloring involves selecting one independent set $I_i$ from $G_i$ for each $i\in \{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ such that $\bigcup_{i=1}^m I_i = V$. For a…
Given k sets such that no one is contained in another, there is an associated lattice on the power set P([k]) corresponding to inclusion relations among unions of the sets. Two lattices on P([k]) are equivalent if there is a permutation of…
We start a systematic analysis of links up to 5-move equivalence. Our motivation is to develop tools which later can be used to study skein modules based on the skein relation being deformation of a 5-move (in an analogous way as the…
Thomassen famously proved that every planar graph is 5-choosable. We explore variants of this result, focusing on finding disjoint correspondence colorings, in the more general class of $K_5$-minor-free graphs. Correspondence colorings…
The existence of a rainbow matching given a minimum color degree, proper coloring, or triangle-free host graph has been studied extensively. This paper, generalizes these problems to edge colored graphs with given total color degree. In…
We consider a class of homogeneous self-similar sets with complete overlaps and give a sufficient condition for the Lipschitz equivalence between members in this class.
In this paper, we define invariants of links in terms of colorings of link diagrams and prove that these invariants coincide with various notions of widths of links with respect to the standard Morse function. Our formulations are…
A classical enumerative result states that, given a graph $G$ and a vertex $u$, the number of connected subgraphs of $G$ is equal to the number of orientations of $G$ such that every vertex can reach $u$ by a directed path. We show that…
It is well known that descents and excedances are equidistributed in the symmetric group. We show that the descent and excedance enumerators, summed over permutations with a fixed first letter are identical when we perform a simple change…
We construct an equivariant colored sl(N)-homology for links, which generalizes both the colored sl(N)-homology defined by the author and the equivariant sl(N)-homology defined by Krasner. The construction is a straightforward…
Given a graph $G$, a vertex switch of $v \in V(G)$ results in a new graph where neighbors of $v$ become nonneighbors and vice versa. This operation gives rise to an equivalence relation over the set of labeled digraphs on $n$ vertices. The…
Let $\mathcal M=(M,<,...)$ be a linearly ordered first-order structure and $T$ its complete theory. We investigate conditions for $T$ that could guarantee that $\mathcal M$ is not much more complex than some colored orders (linear orders…
Consider the following two ways to colour the vertices of a graph where the requirement that adjacent vertices get distinct colours is relaxed. A colouring has "defect" $d$ if each monochromatic component has maximum degree at most $d$. A…
A graph is said to be {\it total-colored} if all the edges and the vertices of the graph are colored. A total-coloring of a graph is a {\it total monochromatically-connecting coloring} ({\it TMC-coloring}, for short) if any two vertices of…
In this paper we give a small review of some recent results of elementary equivalence of linear and algebraic groups and our last new results of elementary equivalence of categories of modules, endomorphism rings of modules, lattices of…
Graph classification plays an important role is data mining, and various methods have been developed recently for classifying graphs. In this paper, we propose a novel method for graph classification that is based on homotopy equivalence of…
We give a characterization of finite sets of triples of elements (e.g., positive integers) that can be colored with two colors such that for every element $i$ in each color class there exists a triple which does not contain $i$. We give a…
Given an edge-coloring of a graph, the palette of a vertex is defined as the set of colors of the edges which are incident with it. We define the palette index of a graph as the minimum number of distinct palettes, taken over all…
A theory about the implication structure in graph coloring is presented. Discovering hidden relations is a crucial activity in every scientific discipline. The development of mathematical models to study and discover such hidden relations…
