The well-known $q,t$-Catalan sequence has two combinatorial interpretations as weighted sums of ordinary Dyck paths: one is Haglund's area-bounce formula, and the other is Haiman's dinv-area formula. The zeta map was constructed to connect…
We present an algorithm to support the dynamic embedding in the plane of a dynamic graph. An edge can be inserted across a face between two vertices on the face boundary (we call such a vertex pair linkable), and edges can be deleted. The…
In this paper we study a subfamily of a classic lattice path, the \emph{Dyck paths}, called \emph{restricted $d$-Dyck} paths, in short $d$-Dyck. A valley of a Dyck path $P$ is a local minimum of $P$; if the difference between the heights of…
We study the reverse shortest path problem on disk graphs in the plane. In this problem we consider the proximity graph of a set of $n$ disks in the plane of arbitrary radii: In this graph two disks are connected if the distance between…
Recently, Li et al. [2022] presented a dynamic Dyck-reachability algorithm for bidirected graphs. The basic idea is based on updating edge weights in a data structure called the merged graph $G_m$. As noted in Krishna et al. [2023], the…
The replacement paths problem for directed graphs is to find for given nodes s and t and every edge e on the shortest path between them, the shortest path between s and t which avoids e. For unweighted directed graphs on n vertices, the…
We present the construction and stochastic summation of rooted-tree diagrams, based on the expansion of a root finding algorithm applied to the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs). The mathematical formulation shows superior convergence…
To determine that two given undirected graphs are isomorphic, we construct for them auxiliary graphs, using the breadth-first search. This makes capability to position vertices in each digraph with respect to each other. If the given graphs…
Motif searching is an important step in the detection of rare events occurring in a set of DNA or protein sequences. One formulation of the problem is known as (l,d)-motif search or Planted Motif Search (PMS). In PMS we are given two…
Given a simple weighted directed graph $G = (V, E, \omega)$ on $n$ vertices as well as two designated terminals $s, t\in V$, our goal is to compute the shortest path from $s$ to $t$ avoiding any pair of presumably failed edges $f_1, f_2\in…
We present the first parallel depth-first search algorithm for undirected graphs that has near-linear work and sublinear depth. Concretely, in any $n$-node $m$-edge undirected graph, our algorithm computes a DFS in $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{n})$…
The canonical tree-decomposition theorem, given by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal graph minors series, turns out to be one of the most important tool in structural and algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we provide the…
In this note we give an algorithm to determine the rational homotopy type of the free and pointed mapping spaces $ map(F(\mathbb R^m,k), S^n)$ and $ map^*(F(\mathbb R^m,k), S^n)$. An explicit description of these spaces is given for $k=3$.…
A dominating induced matching, also called an efficient edge domination, of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ vertices and $m=|E|$ edges is a subset $F \subseteq E$ of edges in the graph such that no two edges in $F$ share a common endpoint…
Hypermaps were introduced as an algebraic tool for the representation of embeddings of graphs on an orientable surface. Recently a bijection was given between hypermaps and indecomposable permutations; this sheds new light on the subject by…
If a graph $G_M$ is embedded into a closed surface $S$ such that $S \backslash G_M$ is a collection of disjoint open discs, then $M=(G_M,S)$ is called a {\em map}. A {\em zigzag} in a map $M$ is a closed path which alternates choosing, at…
In a series of papers, Avraham, Filtser, Kaplan, Katz, and Sharir (SoCG'14), Kaplan, Katz, Saban, and Sharir (ESA'23), and Katz, Saban, and Sharir (ESA'24) studied a class of geometric optimization problems -- including reverse shortest…
A map is \emph{vertex-reversing} if it admits an arc-transitive automorphism group with dihedral vertex stabilizers. This paper classifies solvable vertex-reversing maps whose edge number and Euler characteristic are coprime. The…
We consider the problem of finding ``dissimilar'' $k$ shortest paths from $s$ to $t$ in an edge-weighted directed graph $D$, where the dissimilarity is measured by the minimum pairwise Hamming distances between these paths. More formally,…
Here we give two bijections, one to show that the number of UUU-free Dyck n-paths is the Motzkin number M_n, the other to obtain the (known) distributions of the parameters "number of UDUs" and "number of DDUs" on Dyck n-paths. The first…
