In this paper using Sperner's lemma for modified partition of a simplex we will constructively prove Brouwer's fixed point theorem for sequentially locally non-constant and uniformly sequentially continuous functions.

We consider two CSP problems: the first CSP encodes 2D Sperner's lemma for the standard triangulation of the right triangle on $n^2$ small triangles; the second CSP encodes the fact that it is impossible to match cells of $n \times n$…

In a recent paper [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B}, 113 (2015), pp. 1-17], the authors have extended the concept of quadrangulation of a surface to higher dimension, and showed that every quadrangulation of the $n$-dimensional projective space…

We give a simple reformulation of the four color theorem as a problem on strings over a four letter alphabet.

The Kernel Complex Lemma states that given commutative diagram with exact rows and exact columns which covers the region under a $\Gamma$-shape, then the kernel sequence on the top and the kernel sequence at the left have in each position…

Square coloring is a variant of graph coloring where vertices within distance two must receive different colors. When considering planar graphs, the most famous conjecture (Wegner, 1977) states that $\frac32\Delta+1$ colors are sufficient…

We present a constructive proof of Ky Fan's combinatorial lemma concerning labellings of triangulated spheres. Our construction works for triangulations of $S^n$ that contain a flag of hemispheres. As a consequence, we produce a…

We get a quite maximal version of the colouring property $Pr_1$ by proving $Pr_1(\lambda,\lambda,\lambda,\theta)$ when $\lambda = \partial^+, \partial > \theta$ are regular cardinals.

Youngs proved that every non-bipartite quadrangulation of the projective plane $\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^2$ is 4-chromatic. Kaiser and Stehl\'{\i}k [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 113 (2015), 1-17] generalised the notion of a quadrangulation to…

The Sperner and Tucker lemmas are combinatorial analogous of the Brouwer and Borsuk - Ulam theorems with many useful applications. These classic lemmas are concerning labellings of triangulated discs and spheres. In this paper we show that…

It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…

In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…

A vertex coloring of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called a linear coloring if it satisfies the property that for every pair of facets $(F_1, F_2)$ of $\Delta$, there exists no pair of vertices $(v_1, v_2)$ with the same color such that…

It is well known that Sperner lemma is equivalent to Brouwer fixed-point theorem. Tanaka [12] proved that Brouwer theorem is equivalent to Arrow theorem, hence Arrow theorem is equivalent to Sperner lemma. In this paper we will prove this…

We establish a systematic classification scheme for multipartite entanglement structures. We define Sperner states -- a broad class of states where apparent multipartite entanglement decomposes into fewer-partite entanglement among…

A simple graph is called triangular if every edge of it belongs to a triangle. We conjecture that any graphical degree sequence all terms of which are greater than or equal to 4 has a triangular realisation, and establish this conjecture…

The well-known Steinberg's conjecture asserts that any planar graph without 4- and 5-cycles is 3 colorable. In this note we have given a short algorithmic proof of this conjecture based on the spiral chains of planar graphs proposed in the…

Let $G_{n}$, where $n \geqslant 5$, be a simple plane triangulation which has $2$ non-adjacent vertices of degree $n$ (called \textit{poles} of $G_n$) and $2n$ vertices of degree~$5$. A set of Kempe equivalent $4$-colourings of $G_{n}$ is…

We show that if a coloring of the plane has the properties that any two points at distance one are colored differently and the plane is partitioned into uniformly colored triangles under certain conditions, then it requires at least seven…

We define a $P$-compelling coloring as a proper coloring of the vertices of a graph such that every subset consisting of one vertex of each color has property $P$. The $P$-compelling chromatic number is the minimum number of colors in such…
