The Ulam sequence is given by $a_1 =1, a_2 = 2$, and then, for $n \geq 3$, the element $a_n$ is defined as the smallest integer that can be written as the sum of two distinct earlier elements in a unique way. This gives the sequence $1, 2,…
A graph is outer-1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that all vertices are on the outer face and each edge is crossed at most once. In this paper, we completely determine the edge chromatic number of outer 1-planar graphs.
For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…
We investigate properties of an ordinal sum of uninorms introduced in [8] in the case that the summands are proper representable uninorms. We show sufficient and necessary conditions for a uninorm to be an ordinal sum of representable…
In this paper we prove some new fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on orbitally complete uniform spaces.
Representing meaning in the form of high dimensional vectors is a common and powerful tool in biologically inspired architectures. While the meaning of a set of concepts can be summarized by taking a (possibly weighted) sum of their…
A \textit{$t$-unit-bar representation} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of sets of at most $t$ horizontal unit-length segments in the plane to the vertices of $G$ so that (1) all of the segments are pairwise nonintersecting, and (2) two…
A univariate trace polynomial is a polynomial in a variable x and formal trace symbols Tr(x^j). Such an expression can be naturally evaluated on matrices, where the trace symbols are evaluated as normalized traces. This paper addresses…
Signed graphs are studied since the middle of the last century. Recently, the notion of homomorphism of signed graphs has been introduced since this notion captures a number of well known conjectures which can be reformulated using the…
A formula for the jumping numbers of a curve unibranch at a singular point is established. The jumping numbers are expressed in terms of the Enriques diagram of the log resolution of the singularity, or equivalently in terms of the…
We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.
Our starting point is an improved version of a result of D. Hajela related to a question of Koml\'{o}s: we show that if $f(n)$ is a function such that $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty }f(n)=\infty $ and $f(n)=o(n)$, there exists $n_0=n_0(f)$ such…
Almost-commuting matrices with respect to the normalized Hilbert-Schmidt norm are considered. Normal almost commuting matrices are proved to be near commuting.
This is a survey paper: we discuss certain recent results, with some improvements. It will appear in the S. Cruz proceedings.
In the article, we exhibit a series of new examples of rigid plane curves, that is, curves, whose collection of singularities determines them almost uniquely up to a projective transformation of the plane.
We show that the number of unit-area triangles determined by a set of $n$ points in the plane is $O(n^{9/4+\epsilon})$, for any $\epsilon>0$, improving the recent bound $O(n^{44/19})$ of Dumitrescu et al.
We present an algorithm testing wheather, for given four vectors in R^3, there is a plane through the origin such that all four vectors fall into the same open halfspace.
Let $\{p_1, \ldots , p_n \} \subset {\Bbb{R}}^2$ be a separated point set, i.e., any two points have a distance at least $1$. Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer, and $1 \le t_1 < \ldots < t_k$ be real numbers. Let $\delta > 0$. Suppose for all $1…
Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…
This note contains a simple construction of complete sets of MUBs, using bent functions to write the new basis vectors as explicit linear combinations of the standard basis.
