We describe an algorithm for the exhaustive generation of non-isomorphic graphs with a given number $k \ge 0$ of hamiltonian cycles, which is especially efficient for small $k$. Our main findings, combining applications of this algorithm…

A matching in a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is a set of pairwise disjoint hyperedges. The matching number $\nu(\mathcal{H})$ of $\mathcal{H}$ is the size of a maximum matching in $\mathcal{H}$. A subset $D$ of vertices of $\mathcal{H}$ is a…

A square matrix is called Hessenberg whenever each entry below the subdiagonal is zero and each entry on the subdiagonal is nonzero. Let $M$ denote a Hessenberg matrix. Then $M$ is called circular whenever the upper-right corner entry of…

A bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is convex if the vertices in $V$ can be linearly ordered such that for each vertex $u\in U$, the neighbors of $u$ are consecutive in the ordering of $V$. An induced matching $H$ of $G$ is a matching such that…

Let $V$ be a set of cardinality $v$ (possibly infinite). Two graphs $G$ and $G'$ with vertex set $V$ are {\it isomorphic up to complementation} if $G'$ is isomorphic to $G$ or to the complement $\bar G$ of $G$. Let $k$ be a non-negative…

Graham and Winkler derived a formula for the determinant of the distance matrix of a full-dimensional set of $n + 1$ points $\{ x_{0}, x_{1}, \ldots , x_{n} \}$ in the Hamming cube $H_{n} = ( \{ 0,1 \}^{n}, \ell_{1} )$. In this article we…

We show in this article that if a holomorphic vector bundle has a nonnegative Hermitian metric in the sense of Bott and Chern, which always exists on globally generated holomorphic vector bundles, then some special linear combinations of…

An eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph is said to be \emph{main} if the all-1 vector is not orthogonal to the associated eigenspace. In this work, we approach the main eigenvalues of some graphs. The graphs with exactly two main…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph and $d_{G}(u,v)$ be the shortest distance between the vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$. A set $S=\{s_{1},s_{2},\cdots,s_{n}\}\subset V(G)$ is said to be a {\em resolving set} if for all distinct vertices $u,v$…

In the random $r$-neighbour bootstrap percolation process on a graph $G$, a set of initially infected vertices is chosen at random by retaining each vertex of $G$ independently with probability $p\in (0,1)$, and "healthy" vertices get…

We consider the problem of embedding a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into a low-dimensional Hamming cube in an almost isometric way. We construct a simple, data-oblivious, and computationally efficient map that achieves this task with high…

The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture states that for any graph $F$, there exists $\epsilon>0$ such that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ that contains no induced copy of $F$ has a homogeneous set of size at least $n^{\epsilon}$. We consider…

We prove that every point-determining digraph $D$ contains a vertex $v$ such that $D-v$ is also point determining. We apply this result to show that for any $\{0,1\}$-matrix $M$, with $k$ diagonal zeros and $\ell$ diagonal ones, the size of…

We show that there exists an absolute constant $C>0$ such that any family $\mathcal{F}\subset \{0,1\}^n$ of size at least $Cn^3$ has dual VC-dimension at least 3. Equivalently, every family of size at least $Cn^3$ contains three sets such…

The induced Ramsey number $R_{\mathrm{ind}}(H; r)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum number $N$ such that there exists a graph with $N$ vertices for which all $r$-colourings of its edges contain a monochromatic induced copy of $H$. Our main…

Our main result states that whenever we have a non-Euclidean norm $\|\cdot\|$ on a two-dimensional vector space $X$, there exists some $x\neq 0$ such that for every $\lambda\neq 1, \lambda>0$, there exist $y, z\in X$ verifying that…

Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal conjectured that for every graph $H$, there exists $c>0$ such that every $H$-free graph $G$ has a clique or a stable set of size at least $|G|^c$ (a graph is $H$-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$).…

The restricted $h$-connectivity of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kappa^h(G)$, is defined as the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices $F$ in $G$, if exists, whose removal disconnects $G$ and the minimum degree of each component of $G-F$ is…

Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits asked the following question: For an integer $r\geq 2$ and a family of non-bipartite graphs $\mathcal{H}$, determine the infimum of $\alpha$ such that any $\mathcal{H}$-free $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at…

A graph is $n$-e.c. ($n$-existentially closed) if for every pair of subsets $A, B$ of vertex set $V$ of the graph such that $A \cap B = \emptyset$ and $|A| + |B| = n$, there is a vertex $z$ not in $A \cup B$ joined to each vertex of $A$ and…
