In this paper we generalize the concept of uniquely $K_r$-saturated graphs to hypergraphs. Let $K_r^{(k)}$ denote the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $r$ vertices. For integers $k,r,n$ such that $2\le k <r<n$, a $k$-uniform hypergraph…

Let $H$ be a fixed undirected graph on $k$ vertices. The $H$-hitting set problem asks for deleting a minimum number of vertices from a given graph $G$ in such a way that the resulting graph has no copies of $H$ as a subgraph. This problem…

Hypergraphs, which use hyperedges to capture groupwise interactions among different entities, have gained increasing attention recently for their versatility in effectively modeling real-world networks. In this paper, we study the problem…

We find the exact formula for the minimal number of edges of hypergraph which guaranteed fractional matching of cardinality $s$ in the case when $sn$ is integer.

We define a new integer invariant of a finite graph G, the freeness index, that measures the extent to which G can be embedded in the 3-sphere so that it and its subgraphs have ``simple" complements, i.e., complements which are homeomorphic…

A graph $H$ is single-crossing if it can be drawn in the plane with at most one crossing. For any single-crossing graph $H$, we give an $O(n^4)$ time algorithm for counting perfect matchings in graphs excluding $H$ as a minor. The runtime…

A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, these graphs are studied by presenting some examples and defining some of their sub-structures such as removable…

It is shown that the system consisting of two infinite and parallel planes, one of them a conductor, and the other an insulator with a uniform distribution of charges, is the simplest example of the use of the method of images, in contrast…

The use of tools from analysis to approach problems in graph theory has become an active area of research. Usually such methods are applied to problems involving dense graphs and hypergraphs; here we give the an extension of such methods to…

A graph $H$ is said to be common if the number of monochromatic labelled copies of $H$ in a red/blue edge colouring of a large complete graph is asymptotically minimized by a random colouring with an equal proportion of each colour. We…

We show that if a graph $G$ involves a certain square grid graph as a full subgraph, then a certain operation on it yields a simplicial suspension of the independence complex of $G$. This generalizes a result of Csorba. As a corollary, we…

Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Four methods for generating a simple undirected graph with (approximate) degree distribution $F$ are described and compared. Two methods are based on the so…

We show that for each single crossing graph $H$, a polynomially bounded weight function for all $H$-minor free graphs $G$ can be constructed in Logspace such that it gives nonzero weights to all the cycles in $G$. This class of graphs…

We extend a recent construction concerning polychromatic colorings of hereditary hypergraph families. For every integer $h\ge 4$ we construct a $(2h-1)$-uniform hypergraph which has no polychromatic $3$-coloring, but all of whose $h$-heavy…

We present a closed formula and a simple algorithmic procedure to compute the projective dimension of square-free monomial ideals associated to string or cycle hypergraphs. As an application, among these ideals we characterize all the…

Graph covers are a way to describe continuous maps (and homeomorphisms) of a Cantor set, more generally than e.g.\ Bratteli-Vershik systems. Every continuous map on a zero-dimensional compact set can be expressed by a graph cover (e.g.\…

In this paper we describe all rotation $H$-hypersurfaces in $H^n \times R$ and use them as barriers to prove existence and characterization of certain vertical $H$-graphs and to give symmetry and uniqueness results for compact…

A graph $G$ is $H$-induced-saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but deleting any edge or adding any edge creates an induced copy of $H$. There are non-trivial graphs $H$, such as $P_4$, for which no finite $H$-induced-saturated graph $G$ exists. We…

Consider an assignment of bits to the vertices of a connected graph $G(V,E)$ with the property that the value of each vertex is a function of the values of its neighbors. A collection of such assignments is called a {\em storage code} of…

Unitary matrices which are zero below the secondary diagonal (Hessenberg unitary matrices) have many uses in analysis. Given a set of needed conditions on a unitary matrix, this algorithm will give the sparsest unitary matrix. We give an…
