We consider a refinement of the partition function of graph homomorphisms and present a quasi-polynomial algorithm to compute it in a certain domain. As a corollary, we obtain quasi-polynomial algorithms for computing partition functions…

Many complex questions in biology, physics, and mathematics can be mapped to the graph isomorphism problem and the closely related graph automorphism problem. In particular, these problems appear in the context of network visualization,…

Function graphs are graphs representable by intersections of continuous real-valued functions on the interval [0,1] and are known to be exactly the complements of comparability graphs. As such they are recognizable in polynomial time.…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q=p^s$ elements, where $p$ is an odd prime and $s$ a positive integer. In this paper, we define the function $f(X)=(cX^q+aX)(X^{q}-X)^{n-1}$, for $a,c\in\mathbb{F}_q$ and $n\geq 1$. We study the…

We present an example of a result in graph theory that is used to obtain a result in another branch of mathematics. More precisely, we show that the isomorphism of certain directed graphs implies that some trinomials over finite fields have…

Determining whether two graphs are structurally identical is a fundamental problem with applications spanning mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and network science. Despite decades of study, graph isomorphism remains a challenging…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field. Given two irreducible polynomials $f,g$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with $\mathrm{deg} f$ dividing $\mathrm{deg} g$, the finite field embedding problem asks to compute an explicit description of a field…

We describe a procedure for the generation of functional digraphs up to isomorphism; these are digraphs with uniform outdegree 1, also called mapping patterns, finite endofunctions, or finite discrete-time dynamical systems. This procedure…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and, for each positive integer $n$, let $A_q(n)$ be the number of non isomorphic functional graphs arising from $\mathbb F_q$-linear maps $T:\mathbb F_{q}^n\to \mathbb F_{q}^n$. In…

For a simple connected graph $G$, the $Q$-generating function of the numbers $N_k$ of semi-edge walks of length $k$ in $G$ is defined by $W_Q(t)=\sum\nolimits_{k = 0}^\infty {N_k t^k }$. This paper reveals that the $Q$-generating function…

This paper studies infinite graphs produced from a natural unfolding operation applied to finite graphs. Graphs produced via such operations are of finite degree and automatic over the unary alphabet (that is, they can be described by…

This paper presents the novel `uniqueness tree' algorithm, as one possible method for determining whether two finite, undirected graphs are isomorphic. We prove that the algorithm has polynomial time complexity in the worst case, and that…

We define totally-isotropic polynomials of alternating matrix spaces over finite fields, by analogy with independence polynomials of graphs. Our main result shows that totally-isotropic polynomials of graphical alternating matrix spaces…

In 2014, Flynn and the second author bounded the average number of components of the functional graphs of polynomials of fixed degree over a finite field. When the fixed degree was large (relative to the size of the finite field), their…

We prove a function field analogue of Maynard's result about primes with restricted digits. That is, for certain ranges of parameters n and q, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of degree n over a…

Endowing the set of functional graphs (FGs) with the sum (disjoint union of graphs) and product (standard direct product on graphs) operations induces on FGs a structure of a commutative semiring R. The operations on R can be naturally…

The existence of string functions, which are not polynomial time computable, but whose graph is checkable in polynomial time, is a basic assumption in cryptography. We prove that in the framework of algebraic complexity, there are no such…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper we will describe the dynamics of the map $f(X)=X(X^{q-1}-c)^{q+1},$ with $c\in\mathbb{F}_{q}^{\ast},$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$.

It is confirmed in this work that the graph isomorphism can be tested in polynomial time, which resolves a longstanding problem in the theory of computation. The contributions are in three phases as follows. 1. A description graph…

We introduce a novel embedding method diverging from conventional approaches by operating within function spaces of finite dimension rather than finite vector space, thus departing significantly from standard knowledge graph embedding…
