Tutte's celebrated barycentric embedding theorem describes a natural way to build straight-line embeddings (crossing-free drawings) of a (3-connected) planar graph: map the vertices of the outer face to the vertices of a convex polygon, and…
We study the normal map for plane projective curves, i.e., the map associating to every regular point of the curve the normal line at the point in the dual space. We first observe that the normal map is always birational and then we use…
The aim of this paper is mainly, after some theoretical explanations, to provide a program on Maple for computing, whatever be d, the curvature of the planar d-web implicitely defined by a differential equation F(x,y,y')=0, F being…
Tutte has described in the book "Connectivity in graphs" a canonical decomposition of any graph into 3-connected components. In this article we translate (using the language of symbolic combinatorics) Tutte's decomposition into a general…
Tutte paths are one of the most successful tools for attacking Hamiltonicity problems in planar graphs. Unfortunately, results based on them are non-constructive, as their proofs inherently use an induction on overlapping subgraphs and…
We investigate two types of graph layouts, track layouts and layered path decompositions, and the relations between their associated parameters track-number and layered pathwidth. We use these two types of layouts to characterize leveled…
A plane graph is called a rectangular graph if each of its edges can be oriented either horizontally or vertically, each of its interior regions is a four-sided region and all interior regions can be fitted in a rectangular enclosure. Only…
A data matrix may be seen simply as a means of organizing observations into rows ( e.g., by measured object) and into columns ( e.g., by measured variable) so that the observations can be analyzed with mathematical tools. As a mathematical…
Theoretical results from discrete geometry suggest that normed spaces can abstractly embed finite metric spaces with surprisingly low theoretical bounds on distortion in low dimensions. In this paper, inspired by this theoretical insight,…

Laman graphs naturally arise in structural mechanics and rigidity theory. Specifically, they characterize minimally rigid planar bar-and-joint systems which are frequently needed in robotics, as well as in molecular chemistry and polymer…
Terms in the lambda-calculus can be represented as planar trees decorated with symbols for abstraction and application, and having variables as leaves. In this paper, we concentrate on the branches of such trees, rather than on the trees…
Embedding learning, a.k.a. representation learning, has been shown to be able to model large-scale semantic knowledge graphs. A key concept is a mapping of the knowledge graph to a tensor representation whose entries are predicted by models…
We investigate random connected graphs from a block-stable class whose distribution is weighted based on the number of $2$-connected components, or blocks. This includes the class of planar graphs. For this, we develop a notion of a…
A trivalent diagram is a connected, two-colored bipartite graph (parallel edges allowed but not loops) such that every black vertex is of degree 1 or 3 and every white vertex is of degree 1 or 2, with a cyclic order imposed on every set of…
Affine $\lambda$-terms are $\lambda$-terms in which each bound variable occurs at most once and linear $\lambda$-terms are $\lambda$-terms in which each bound variables occurs once. and only once. In this paper we count the number of closed…
Let $L$ be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain ${\mathsf M}_3$-sublattices). We call the interval $I = [o, i]$ of $L$ \emph{rectangular}, if there are $u_l, u_r \in [o, i] - \{o,i\}$ such that $i = u_l…
The enumeration of maps and the study of uniform random maps have been classical topics of combinatorics and statistical physics ever since the seminal work of Tutte in the sixties. Following the bijective approach initiated by Cori and…
In this paper we provide, first, a general symbolic algorithm for computing the symmetries of a given rational surface, based on the classical differential invariants of surfaces, i.e. Gauss curvature and mean curvature. In practice, the…
Normal multi-scale transform [4] is a nonlinear multi-scale transform for representing geometric objects that has been recently investigated [1, 7, 10]. The restrictive role of the exact order of polynomial reproduction $P_e$ of the…
