In this paper we present a CAT generation algorithm for Dyck paths with a fixed length n. It is the formalization of a method for the exhaustive generation of this kind of paths which can be described by means of two equivalent strategies.…

We consider directed weighted graphs and define various families of path counting functions. Our main results are explicit formulas for the main term of the asymptotic growth rate of these counting functions, under some irrationality…

In this thesis we consider ordered graphs (that is, graphs with a fixed linear ordering on their vertices). We summarize and further investigations on the number of edges an ordered graph may have while avoiding a fixed forbidden ordered…

A Catalan word is one on the alphabet of positive integers starting with $1$ in which each subsequent letter is at most one more than its predecessor. Let $\mathcal{C}_n$ denote the set of Catalan words of length $n$. In this paper, we give…

Given a finite directed graph, a coloring of its edges turns the graph into a finite-state automaton. A k-synchronizing word of a deterministic automaton is a word in the alphabet of colors at its edges that maps the state set of the…

The active bijection forms a package of results studied by the authors in a series of papers in oriented matroids. The present paper is intended to state the main results in the particular case, and more widespread language, of graphs. We…

In this paper, we define several measures induced by a finite directed graph. The study themselves is interesting ont only in the noncommutative probability point of view but also in the algebraic structure point of view, since to define…

introduce {\sc Planar Disjoint Paths Completion}, a completion counterpart of the Disjoint Paths problem, and study its parameterized complexity. The problem can be stated as follows: given a, not necessarily connected, plane graph $G,$ $k$…

Let $P(G)=(P_{0}(G),P_{1}(G),\cdots, P_{\rho}(G))$ be the path sequence of a graph $G$, where $P_{i}(G)$ is the number of paths with length $i$ and $\rho$ is the length of a longest path in $G$. In this paper, we first give the path…

A graph is $k$-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed at most $k$ times. Typically, the class of 1-planar graphs is among the most investigated graph families within the so-called "beyond planar graphs". A…

We introduce the arrow product, a systematic generating function technique for directed graph enumeration. It provides short proofs for previous results of Gessel on the number of directed acyclic graphs and of Liskovets, Robinson and…

We consider two problems for a directed graph $G$, which we show to be closely related. The first one is to find $k$ edge-disjoint forests in $G$ of maximal size such that the indegree of each vertex in these forests is at most $k$. We…

In math.QA/0506507 I. Gelfand and the authors introduced and studied a new class of algebras associated to directed graphs. In this paper we show that these algebras are Koszul for a large class of layered (i.e. ranked) graphs.

The complexity of a graph is the number of its labeled spanning trees. In this work complexity is studied in settings that admit regular graphs. An exact formula is established linking complexity of the complement of a regular graph to…

We show an asymptotic estimate for the number of labelled planar graphs on $n$ vertices. We also find limit laws for the number of edges, the number of connected components, and other parameters in random planar graphs.

This paper explores the properties of directed graphs, termed generalized action graphs, which exhibit a strong connection to certain number sequences. Focusing on the structural and combinatorial aspects, we investigate the conditions…

We study the random planar graph process introduced by Gerke, Schlatter, Steger, and Taraz [The random planar graph process, Random Structures Algorithms 32 (2008), no. 2, 236--261; MR2387559]: Begin with an empty graph on $n$ vertices,…

Given a graph $G$, we have the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and degree diagonal matrix $D(G)$. The $Q$-spectrum is the all eigenvalues of $Q$-matrix $Q(G)=A(G)+D(G)$. A class of graphs is determined by their generalized $Q$-spectrum (DGQS for…

We study the class of graphs known as k-trees through the lens of Joyal's theory of combinatorial species (and an equivariant extension known as '$\Gamma$-species' which incorporates data about 'structural' group actions). This culminates…

We enumerate rooted 2-connected and 3-connected surface maps with respect to vertices and edges. We also derive the bivariate version of the large face-width result for random 3-connected maps. These results are then used to derive…
