Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…

A square of a path on $k$ vertices is a directed path $x_1\ldots x_k$, where $x_i$ is directed to $x_{i+2}$, for every $i\in \{1,\ldots, k-1\}$. Recently, Yuster showed that any tournament on $n$ vertices contains a square of a path of…

We pursue the analysis made in [1] on the arithmetic area enclosed by m closed Brownian paths. We pay a particular attention to the random variable S{n1,n2, ...,n} (m) which is the arithmetic area of the set of points, also called winding…

The von Neumann-Halperin method of alternating projections converges strongly to the projection of a given point onto the intersection of finitely many closed affine subspaces. We propose acceleration schemes making use of two ideas:…

Let $P$ be a connected bounded region in the plane formed out of $2 \times 2$ blocks joined by their sides. Peng and Rascoussier conjectured that all minimum-turn Hamiltonian cycles of $P$ exhibit a certain regular structure. We prove this…

Xiong and Liu [L. Xiong and Z. Liu, Hamiltonian iterated line graphs, Discrete Math. 256 (2002) 407-422] gave a characterization of the graphs $G$ for which the $n$-th iterated line graph $L^n(G)$ is hamiltonian, for $n\ge2$. In this paper,…

The 2-sets convex feasibility problem aims at finding a point in the nonempty intersection of two closed convex sets $A$ and $B$ in a Hilbert space $X$. The method of alternating projections is the simplest iterative procedure for finding a…

We give another proof of Le Potier's result and some variants on moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the projective plane, using the Bridgeland stability conditions. As an application we study the wall-crossing phenomena of the Hilbert…

Defining the $m$-th stratum of a closed subset of an $n$ dimensional Euclidean space to consist of those points, where it can be touched by a ball from at least $n-m$ linearly independent directions, we establish that the $m$-th stratum is…

A conjecture by Rafla from 1988 asserts that every simple drawing of the complete graph $K_n$ admits a plane Hamiltonian cycle. It turned out that already the existence of much simpler non-crossing substructures in such drawings is hard to…

A bargraph is a self-avoiding lattice path with steps $U=(0,1)$, $H=(1,0)$ and $D=(0,-1)$ that starts at the origin and ends on the $x$-axis, and stays strictly above the $x$-axis everywhere except at the endpoints. Bargraphs have been…

We first prove a one-to-one correspondence between finding Hamiltonian cycles in a cubic planar graphs and finding trees with specific properties in dual graphs. Using this information, we construct an exact algorithm for finding…

We describe a close relation between wall crossings in the birational geometry of moduli space of Gieseker stable sheaves $M_H(v)$ on $\bb{P}^2$ and mini-wall crossings in the stability manifold $Stab(D^b(\bb{P}^2))$.

Ternary paths consist of an up-step of one unit, a down-step of two units, never go below the $x$-axis, and return to the $x$-axis. This paper addresses the enumeration of partial ternary paths, ending at a given level $i$, reading the path…

We prove that Hamiltonian Path and Hamiltonian Cycle are NP-hard on graphs of linear mim-width 26, even when a linear order of the input graph with mim-width 26 is provided together with input. This fills a gap left by a broken proof of the…

We determine the quadratic points on the modular curves $X_0(N)$ for $N\leq 100$ for which this has not been previously done, namely the cases $$N\in\{66,70,78,82,84,86,87,88,90,96,99\}.$$ We accomplish this by improving on the ``going down…

The goal is to verify the Hodge conjecture (and some related conjectures) for certain moduli spaces. It is shown that the (generalized) Hodge conjecture holds for the projective moduli spaces of vector bundles over an abelian or K3 surface…

For an acyclic directed graph with multiple sources and multiple sinks, we prove that one can choose the Merger's paths between the sources and the sinks such that the number of mergings between these paths is upper bounded by a constant…

Suppose that $M$ is a $2$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold, and let $\gamma$ be a simple closed curve on $M$. Let $m \gamma$ denote the curve formed by tracing $\gamma$ $m$ times. We prove that if $m \gamma$ is contractible through…

We show that if $f\colon I\to I$ is piecewise monotone, post-critically finite, and locally eventually onto, then for every point $x\in X=\underleftarrow{\lim}(I,f)$ there exists a planar embedding of $X$ such that $x$ is accessible. In…
