We study the problem of finding the minimal (maximal) genus for a surface where a given four-valent graph with fixed opposite edge structure can be embedded into. We find several partial relations and give new reformulations in…

The girth of a matrix is the least number of linearly dependent columns, in contrast to the rank which is the largest number of linearly independent columns. This paper considers the construction of {\it high-girth} matrices, whose…

We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite planar point set $S$ in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is $S$ and can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that two maximal biplane graphs---in the…

Let X be a nonsingular simply connected projective variety of dimension m, E a rank n vector bundle on X, and L a line bundle on X. Suppose that $S^2(E^{*}) \otimes L$ is an ample vector bundle and that there is a constant even rank $r \ge…

Let $K$ be a field and let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over $K$. Let $M$ be a subspace of bilinear forms defined on $V\times V$. Let $r$ be the number of different non-zero ranks that occur among the elements of $M$. Our aim is…

In this paper we consider graph algorithms in models of computation where the space usage (random accessible storage, in addition to the read only input) is sublinear in the number of edges $m$ and the access to input data is constrained.…

In this paper, we study a number of well-known combinatorial optimization problems that fit in the following paradigm: the input is a collection of (potentially inconsistent) local relationships between the elements of a ground set (e.g.,…

We propose a new method, using deformation theory, to study the maximal rank conjecture. For line bundles of extremal degree, which can be viewed as the first case to test the conjecture, we prove that maximal rank conjecture holds by our…

The main result of the paper is motivated by the following two, apparently unrelated graph optimization problems: (A) as an extension of Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, characterize digraphs comprising $k$ disjoint branchings $B_i$…

For an arbitrary tree we investigate the problems of constructing a maximum matching which minimizes or maximizes the cardinality of a maximum matching of the graph obtained from original one by its removal and present corresponding…

We study the ratio, in a finite graph, of the sizes of the largest matching in any pair of disjoint matchings with the maximum total number of edges and the largest possible matching. Previously, it was shown that this ratio is between 4/5…

We study a class of overdetermined algebraic systems of equations. We prove that the number of distinct solutions equals to the maximal possible if and only if certain matrices are commuting and semisimple. This gives a characterization of…

In this paper we study the low rank matrix completion problem using tools from Schur complement. We give a sufficient and necessary condition such that the completed matrix is globally unique with given data. We assume the observed entries…

In this paper we study prime, maximal and two--class congruences from the point of view of the relationships between them in various kinds of universal algebras, as well as their direct and inverse images through morphisms. This research…

Learning faithful graph representations as sets of vertex embeddings has become a fundamental intermediary step in a wide range of machine learning applications. The quality of the embeddings is usually determined by how well the geometry…

Alternating minimization represents a widely applicable and empirically successful approach for finding low-rank matrices that best fit the given data. For example, for the problem of low-rank matrix completion, this method is believed to…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…

In this paper we study various versions of extension complexity for polygons through the study of factorization ranks of their slack matrices. In particular, we develop a new asymptotic lower bound for their nonnegative rank, shortening the…

Sum-rank metric codes are a natural extension of both linear block codes and rank-metric codes. They have several applications in information theory, including multishot network coding and distributed storage systems. The aim of this…
