Erd\H{o}s-Stone Theorem is a well-known result in extremal graph theory which determines the asymptotic behaviour of maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph. In 2009, Nikiforov gave a spectral version of Erd\H{o}s-Stone…

The queue-number of a poset is the queue-number of its cover graph viewed as a directed acyclic graph, i.e., when the vertex order must be a linear extension of the poset. Heath and Pemmaraju conjectured that every poset of width $w$ has…

We study the geometry of the Sieve of Eratosthenes. We introduce some concepts as Focals and Extremes. We find a symmetry in the distribution of the Focals (all the information about the primes is contained into a small set of numbers). We…

We introduce persistence with an emphasis on its algebraic foundations, using the representation theory of posets. Linear representations of posets arise in several areas of mathematics, including the representation theory of quivers and…

We consider a 2-player permutation game inspired by the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres Theorem. The game depends on two positive integer parameters $a$ and $b$ and we determine the winner and give a winning strategy when $a \geq b$ and $b…

We investigate a method of generating a graph $G=(V,E)$ out of an ordered list of $n$ distinct real numbers $a_1, \dots, a_n$. These graphs can be used to test for the presence of interesting structure in the sequence. We describe sequences…

Define a set of lines in $R^3$ to be ``stacked'' with respect to $v \in R^3$ if, from a vantage point far away in the direction of $v$, the lines are linearly ordered by the ``crossing over'' relation. Given a collection of skew lines and a…

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. One of several hierarchies towards the stability number of $G$ is the exact subgraph hierarchy (ESH). On the first level it computes the Lov\'{a}sz theta function $\vartheta(G)$ as…

For a finite point set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a connected graph $G$ on $k+1$ vertices, we define a $G$-framework to be a collection of $k + 1$ points in E such that the distance between a pair of points is specified if the…

Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in $O(n \log n)$ time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while…

Convergence of Extremum Seeking (ES) algorithms has been established in the limit of small gains. Using averaging theory and contraction analysis, we propose a framework for computing explicit bounds on the departure of the ES scheme from…

Let $\{X(t):t\in\mathbb R_+\}$ be a stationary Gaussian process with almost surely (a.s.) continuous sample paths, $\mathbb E X(t) = 0$, $\mathbb E X^2(t) = 1$ and correlation function satisfying (i) $r(t) = 1 - C|t|^{\alpha} +…

In 1993, Fishburn and Graham established the following qualitative extension of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem. If $N$ is sufficiently large with respect to $n$, then any $N\times N$ real matrix contains an $n\times n$ submatrix…

Persistence diagrams (PDs) are the most common descriptors used to encode the topology of structured data appearing in challenging learning tasks; think e.g. of graphs, time series or point clouds sampled close to a manifold. Given random…

We provide a cyclic permutation analogue of the Erd\H os-Szekeres theorem. In particular, we show that every cyclic permutation of length $(k-1)(\ell-1)+2$ has either an increasing cyclic sub-permutation of length $k+1$ or a decreasing…

Problems on repeated geometric patterns in finite point sets in Euclidean space are extensively studied in the literature of combinatorial and computational geometry. Such problems trace their inspiration to Erd\H{o}s' original work on that…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. We consider a variation of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres problem, presenting efficient algorithms with $O(n^3)$ running time and $O(n^2)$ space complexity that compute: (1) A subset $S$ of $P$…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be the set of all finite or infinite increasing sequences of positive integers beginning with 1. For a sequence $S=\{s(n)\}, n\geq1,$ from $\mathbf{G},$ a positive number $N$ is called an exponentially $S$-number $(N\in…

In 1930s Paul Erdos conjectured that for any positive integer $C$ in any infinite $\pm 1$ sequence $(x_n)$ there exists a subsequence $x_d, x_{2d}, x_{3d},\dots, x_{kd}$, for some positive integers $k$ and $d$, such that $\mid \sum_{i=1}^k…

We study upward pointset embeddings (UPSEs) of planar $st$-graphs. Let $G$ be a planar $st$-graph and let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a pointset with $|S|= |V(G)|$. An UPSE of $G$ on $S$ is an upward planar straight-line drawing of $G$ that…
