For any real-valued $k > 1$, we consider the tree rooted at 0, where each positive integer $n$ has parent $\lfloor\frac{n}{k}\rfloor$. The average number of children per node is $k$, thus this definition gives a natural way to extend…

We obtain uniform estimates for $N_k(x,y)$, the number of positive integers $n$ up to $x$ for which $\omega_y(n)=k$, where $\omega_y(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ which are $<y$. The motivation for this problem is an…

It is well known since A. J. Kempner's work that the series of the reciprocals of the positive integers whose the decimal representation does not contain any digit 9, is convergent. This result was extended by F. Irwin and others to deal…

For any integer $k$, M.Kaneko defined $k$-th poly-Bernoulli numbers as a kind of generalization of classical Bernoulli numbers using $k$-th polylogarithm. In case when $k$ is positive, $k$-th poly-Bernoulli numbers is a sequence of rational…

Graph reordering is a powerful technique to increase the locality of the representations of graphs, which can be helpful in several applications. We study how the technique can be used to improve compression of graphs and inverted indexes.…

Proposed as a general framework, Liu and Yu(Discrete Math. 231 (2001) 311-320) introduced $(n,k,d)$-graphs to unify the concepts of deficiency of matchings, $n$-factor-criticality and $k$-extendability. Let $G$ be a graph and let $n,k$ and…

A 1989 result of Duarte asserts that for a given tree T on n vertices, a fixed vertex i, and two sets of distinct real numbers L, M of sizes n and n-1, respectively, such that M strictly interlaces L, there is a real symmetric matrix A such…

The binding number of a graph $G$, written as $\mbox{bind}(G)$, is defined by $$ \mbox{bind}(G)=\min\left\{\frac{|N_G(X)|}{|X|}:\emptyset\neq X\subseteq V(G),N_G(X)\neq V(G)\right\}. $$ A graph $G$ is called $r$-binding if…

We investigate the relative assembly map from the family of finite subgroups to the family of virtually cyclic subgroups for the algebraic $K$-theory of twisted group rings of a group G with coefficients in a regular ring R or, more…

Gain graphs are graphs where the edges are given some orientation and labeled with the elements (called gains) from a group so that gains are inverted when we reverse the direction of the edges. Generalizing the notion of gain graphs, skew…

We define the (random) $k$-cut number of a rooted graph to model the difficulty of the destruction of a resilient network. The process is as the cut model of Meir and Moon except now a node must be cut $k$ times before it is destroyed. The…

Let $(G,w)$ be a weighted graph with a weight-function $w: E(G)\to \mathbb R\backslash\{0\}$. A weighted graph $(G,w)$ is invertible to a new weighted graph if its adjacency matrix is invertible. A graph inverse has combinatorial interest…

Let $D$ be an oriented graph. The inversion of a set $X$ of vertices in $D$ consists in reversing the direction of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, denoted by ${\rm inv}(D)$, is the minimum number of inversions…

The growing use of deep learning necessitates efficient network design and deployment, making neural predictors vital for estimating attributes such as accuracy and latency. Recently, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and transformers have shown…

We introduce a new permutation statistic, namely, the number of cycles of length $q$ consisting of consecutive integers, and consider the distribution of this statistic among the permutations of $\{1,2,...,n\}$. We determine explicit…

Consider an order $n$ abelian group $G$ and a tree $T$ on $n$ vertices. When is it possible to (bijectively) label $V(T)$ by $G$ so that along all edges $xy$ of $T$, the sums $x+y$ are distinct? This problem can be traced back to the work…

For any graph $G$, let $t(G)$ be the number of spanning trees of $G$, $L(G)$ be the line graph of $G$ and for any non-negative integer $r$, $S_r(G)$ be the graph obtained from $G$ by replacing each edge $e$ by a path of length $r+1$…

In 1995, Richard Stanley introduced the chromatic symmetric function $X_G$ of a graph $G$ and proved that, when written in terms of the elementary symmetric functions, it reveals the number of acyclic orientations of $G$ with a given number…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. Let $n$ and $k$ be non-negative integers such that $n + 2k \leq |V(G)| - 2$ and $|V(G)| - n$ is even. If when deleting any $n$ vertices of $G$ the remaining subgraph contains a matching of $k$…

Given a set of cycles C of a graph G, the tree graph of G defined by C is the graph T(G,C) whose vertices are the spanning trees of G and in which two trees R and S are adjacent if the union of R and S contains exactly one cycle and this…
