We show that for any polynomial $f$ from the integers to the integers, with positive leading coefficient and irreducible over the rationals, if $x$ is large enough then there is a string of $(\log x)(\log\log x)^{1/835}$ consecutive…

A 1-factorisation of a regular graph $G$ is a partition of its edge set $E(G)$ into perfect matchings of $G$. Behague asked for the minimal $r=r(d)$ such that some $1$-factorisation of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$ has the property…

A graph of order $n$ is said to be \emph{$k$-factor-critical} ($0\leq k <n$) if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is \emph{minimal} if $G-e$ is not…

Fici and Saarela ([2]) conjectured that a binary word of length n contains at least $\lfloor n/4 \rfloor$ abelian squares. We slightly extend this conjecture and show that it holds in some special cases. In all other cases we have the…

The {\em Fibonacci cube} of dimension $n$, denoted as $\Gamma\_n$, is the subgraph of the $n$-cube $Q\_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive 1's. In an article of 2016 Ashrafi and his co-authors proved the non-existence of perfect…

Let $F$ and $G$ be simple finite undirected graphs. A graph $G$ is called $F$-irregular if any two of its distinct vertices belong to different numbers of copies of $F$ in $G$. According to the strong conjecture about $F$-irregular graphs…

Let $G(V,E)$ be a simple, undirected graph where $V$ is the set of vertices and $E$ is the set of edges. A $b$-dimensional cube is a Cartesian product $I_1\times I_2\times...\times I_b$, where each $I_i$ is a closed interval of unit length…

For a planar graph with a given f-vector $(f_{0}, f_{1}, f_{2}),$ we introduce a cubic polynomial whose coefficients depend on the f-vector. The planar graph is said to be real if all the roots of the corresponding polynomial are real. Thus…

Block graphs are graphs in which every block (biconnected component) is a clique. A graph $G=(V,E)$ is said to be an (unpartitioned) $k$-probe block graph if there exist $k$ independent sets $N_i\subseteq V$, $1\le i\le k$, such that the…

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer. It was proved by Brass and Schmeisser that for every quadrature $$\mathcal{Q}=\alpha_1f(x_1)+\dots+\alpha_mf(x_m),$$ (with positive weights) of order at least $n+1$ and for every $n-$convex function $f,$…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive 1s. We study a one parameter generalization, p-th order Fibonacci cubes $\Gamma^{(p)}_n$, which are subgraphs of $Q_n$ induced by…

If $u$ and $v$ are two words, the correlation of $u$ over $v$ is a binary word that encodes all possible overlaps between $u$ and $v$. This concept was introduced by Guibas and Odlyzko as a key element of their method for enumerating the…

An absent factor of a string $w$ is a string $u$ which does not occur as a contiguous substring (a.k.a. factor) inside $w$. We extend this well-studied notion and define absent subsequences: a string $u$ is an absent subsequence of a string…

The Fibonacci dimension fdim(G) of a graph G is introduced as the smallest integer f such that G admits an isometric embedding into Gamma_f, the f-dimensional Fibonacci cube. We give bounds on the Fibonacci dimension of a graph in terms of…

For $q\in\mathbb{R}$, the $Q$-matrix $Q=Q_q$ of a connected simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is $Q_q=(q^{\partial(x,y)})_{x,y\in V}$, where $\partial$ denotes the path-length distance. Describing the set $\pi(G)$ consisting of those $q\in \mathbb{R}$…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

Let $F_k$ be the set of graphs on $k$ vertices. For a graph $G$, a $k$-decomposition is a set of induced subgraphs of $G$, each isomorphic to an element of $F_k$, such that each pair of vertices of $G$ is in exactly one element of the set.…

The twin-width of a graph $G$ is the minimum integer $d$ such that $G$ has a $d$-contraction sequence, that is, a sequence of $|V(G)|-1$ iterated vertex identifications for which the overall maximum number of red edges incident to a single…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive $1$s. Munarini introduced Pell graphs, a variation of Fibonacci cubes defined on ternary strings. A generalization of Pell graphs…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is is the graph whose vertices are independent subsets of the path graph of length $n$, where two such vertices are considered adjacent if they differ by the addition or removal of a single element. Klav\v{z}ar…
