We analyse properties of geometric intersection graphs to show the strict containment between some natural classes of geometric intersection graphs. In particular, we show the following properties: - A graph $G$ is outerplanar if and only…

We settle affirmatively a conjecture posed in [S. M. Hegde, Set colorings of graphs, European Journal of Combinatorics 30 (4) (2009), 986--995]: If some subsets of a set X are assigned injectively to all vertices of a complete bipartite…

The vanishing ideal I of a subspace arrangement is an intersection of linear ideals. We give a formula for the Hilbert polynomial of I if the subspaces meet transversally. We also give a formula for the Hilbert series of a product J of the…

The relation space of a hyperplane arrangement is the vector space of all linear dependencies among the defining forms of the hyperplanes in the arrangement. In this paper, we study the relationship between the relation space and the…

The seminal Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado (EKR) theorem states that if $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set $X$ for $k\leq n/2$ such that every pair of subsets in $\mathcal{F}$ has a nonempty intersection, then $\mathcal{F}$…

An $(n_k)$ configuration is a set of $n$ points and $n$ lines such that each point lies on $k$ lines while each line contains $k$ points. The configuration is geometric, topological, or combinatorial depending on whether lines are…

A space $X$ is said to have the set star Hurewicz property if for each nonempty subset $A$ of $X$ and each sequence $(\mathcal{U}_n: n \in \mathbb{N})$ of sets open in $X$ such that for each $n\in \mathbb N$, $\overline{A} \subset \cup…

We consider hyperplane arrangements generated by generic points and study their intersection lattices. These arrangements are known to be equivalent to discriminantal arrangements. We show a fundamental structure of the intersection…

Given a collection of $l$ general lines $\ell_1,\ldots,\ell_{l}$ in $\pr^2$, the star configuration $\XX(l)$ is the set of points constructed from all pairwise intersections of these lines. For each non-negative integer $d$, we compute the…

As a generalization of the ideals of star configurations of hypersurfaces, we consider the $a$-fold product ideal $I_a(f_1^{m_1}\cdots f_s^{m_s})$ when ${f_1,\dots,f_s}$ is a sequence of generic forms and $1\le a\le m_1+\cdots+m_s$.…

Given an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field $\mathbb K$, let $2\leq k < n$. There is a natural correspondence between the alternating $k$-linear forms $\varphi$ of $V$ and the linear functionals $f$ of $\bigwedge^kV$. Let…

An elegant procedure which characterizes a decomposition of some class of binomial configurations into two other, resembling a definition of Pascal's Triangle, was given in \cite{gevay}. In essence, this construction was already presented…

We describe a new way to construct finite geometric objects. For every k we obtain a symmetric configuration E(k-1) with k points on a line. In particular, we have a constructive existence proof for such configurations. The method is very…

A set $L$ of straight lines and a set $P$ of points in the Euclidean plane define an arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ = ($L$, $P$) of construction lines and registration marks, if and only if: (1) any point in $P$ is a point of intersection of at…

In this paper we introduce the notion of I-convergence of sequences of k-dimensional subspaces of an inner product space, where I is an ideal of subsets of N, the set of all natural numbers and k in N. We also study some basic properties of…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and $\mu$ be an adjacency eigenvalue of $G$ with multiplicity $k\geq 1$. A star complement $H$ for $\mu$ in $G$ is an induced subgraph of $G$ of order $n-k$ with no eigenvalue $\mu$, and the vertex subset…
