For a finite simplicial complex K and a CW-pair (X,A), there is an associated CW-complex Z_K(X,A), known as a polyhedral product. We apply discrete Morse theory to a particular CW-structure on the n-sphere moment-angle complexes Z_K(D^{n},…
A split of a polytope is a (necessarily regular) subdivision with exactly two maximal cells. A polytope is totally splittable if each triangulation (without additional vertices) is a common refinement of splits. This paper establishes a…
We show how multiplicatively syndetic sets can be used in the study of partition regularity of dilation invariant systems of polynomial equations. In particular, we prove that a dilation invariant system of polynomial equations is partition…
Area and orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the standard 2-disc, referred to as symplectomorphisms of $\mathbb{D}^{2}$, allow decompositions in terms of positive twist diffeomorphisms. Using the latter decomposition we utilize the…
A finite set of integers $A$ tiles the integers by translations if $\mathbb{Z}$ can be covered by pairwise disjoint translated copies of $A$. Restricting attention to one tiling period, we have $A\oplus B=\mathbb{Z}_M$ for some…
The extension complexity of a polytope measures its amenability to succinct representations via lifts. There are several versions of extension complexity, including linear, real semidefinite, and complex semidefinite. We focus on the last…
We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…
We investigate under what conditions holomorphic forms defined on the regular locus of a reduced complex space extend to holomorphic (or logarithmic) forms on a resolution of singularities. We give a simple necessary and sufficient…
Tropical polytopes are images of polytopes in an affine space over the Puiseux series field under the degree map. This viewpoint gives rise to a family of cellular resolutions of monomial ideals which generalize the hull complex of Bayer…
A rigorous homogenization theory is derived to describe the effective admittivity of cell suspensions. A new formula is reported for dilute cases that gives the frequency-dependent effective admittivity with respect to the membrane…
Inspired by the works of Forman on discrete Morse theory, which is a combinatorial adaptation to cell complexes of classical Morse theory on manifolds, we introduce a discrete analogue of the stratified Morse theory of Goresky and…
We recently introduced a notion of tilings of geometric realizations of finite relative simplicial complexes and related those tilings to the discrete Morse theory of R. Forman, especially when they have the property of being shellable, a…
We study the regularity of solutions of functional equations of a generalized mean value type. In this paper we give sufficient conditions for the regularity by using hypoellipticity which is a concept of the theory of partial differential…
We use discrete Morse theory to study free resolutions of monomial ideals in combination with splitting techniques. We establish the minimality of such pruned resolutions for several classes of ideals, including stable and linear quotient…
Finding a zero of a sum of maximally monotone operators is a fundamental problem in modern optimization and nonsmooth analysis. Assuming that resolvents of the operators are available, this problem can be tackled with the Douglas-Rachford…
We study sigma-ideals and regularity properties related to the "filter-Laver" and "dual-filter-Laver" forcing partial orders. An important innovation which enables this study is a dichotomy theorem proved recently by Miller [1]. [1] Arnold…
Cellular solids are a class of materials that have many interesting engineering applications, including ultralight structural materials. The traditional method for analyzing these solids uses convex uniform polyhedral honeycombs to…
The theory of matrix splitting is a useful tool for finding solution of rectangular linear system of equations, iteratively. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, we revisit theory of weak regular splittings for rectangular…
Solenoids induced by split sequences are introduced, as the inverse limit object of a sequence of fold maps. The topology of a solenoid is explored, and it is established that solenoids have naturally arising singular foliated structures.…
We study the module $C^r(\mathcal{P})$ of piecewise polynomial functions of smoothness $r$ on a pure $n$-dimensional polytopal complex $\mathcal{P}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, via an analysis of certain subcomplexes $\mathcal{P}_W$ obtained from…
