The $W_v$-Path Conjecture due to Klee and Wolfe states that any two vertices of a simple polytope can be joined by a path that does not revisit any facet. This is equivalent to the well-known Hirsch Conjecture. Klee proved that the…

Let X be a real algebraic subset of R^n and M a smooth, closed manifold. We show that all continuous maps from M to X are homotopic (in X) to C^\infty maps. We apply this result to study characteristic classes of vector bundles associated…

Given a base manifold $M$ and a Lie group $G$, we define $\bar{\cal A}^H_M$ a space of generalized $G$-connections on $M$ with the following properties: - The space of smooth connections ${\cal A}^\infty_M = \sqcup_\pi {\cal A}^\infty_\pi$…

We describe and study a transport based procedure called NetOTC (network optimal transition coupling) for the comparison and alignment of two networks. The networks of interest may be directed or undirected, weighted or unweighted, and may…

A frequent problem in holomorphic dynamics is to prove local connectivity of Julia sets and of many points of the Mandelbrot set; local connectivity has many interesting implications. The intention of this paper is to present a new point of…

For a division ring D, finite dimensional over its center F, we give a condiction for the connectedness of the commuting graph of a matrix ring over $D$. Furthermore, we prove that if the commuting graph is connected, then its diameter is…

Motivated by ill-posed PDEs such as $\mathrm{div} (v) = F$ we study locally convex topologies $\mathcal{T}_{\mathcal{C}}$ on real vector spaces $X$ that are a ``localized'' version of a locally convex topology $\mathcal{T}$ to members of a…

A family of plane oriented continuous paths depending on a fixed real positive number $R$ is considered. For any point $x$ on the path, the previous points lie out of any circle of radius $R$ having at $x$ interior normal in a suitable…

We consider sets and maps defined over an o-minimal structure over the reals, such as real semi-algebraic or subanalytic sets. A {\em monotone map} is a multi-dimensional generalization of a usual univariate monotone function, while the…

We construct a compact convex generating set $\mathcal{C}_n$ of the moduli set of closed connected projective special real manifolds of fixed dimension $n$. We show that a closed connected projective special real manifold corresponds to an…

For a given graph $\mathcal{G}$ of order $n$ with $m$ edges, and a real symmetric matrix associated to the graph, $M\left(\mathcal{G}\right)\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, the interlacing graph reduction problem is to find a graph…

We consider a new type of mappings in metric spaces so-called mappings contracting total pairwise distance on $n$ points. It is shown that such mappings are continuous. A theorem on the existence of periodic points for such mappings is…

Let $A$ be a $m\times m$ complex matrix with zero trace and let $\e>0$. Then there are $m\times m$ matrices $B$ and $C$ such that $A=[B,C]$ and $\|B\|\|C\|\le K_\e m^\e\|A\|$ where $K_\e$ depends only on $\e$. Moreover, the matrix $B$ can…

In mathematics and computer science, connectivity is one of the basic concepts of matroid theory: it asks for the minimum number of elements which need to be removed to disconnect the remaining nodes from each other. It is closely related…

Bipartite graphs are often found to represent the connectivity between the components of many systems such as ecosystems. A bipartite graph is a set of $n$ nodes that is decomposed into two disjoint subsets, having $m$ and $n-m$ vertices…

Let ${\cal T}$ be a rooted Galton-Watson tree with offspring distribution $\{p_k\}$ that has $p_0=0$, mean $m=\sum kp_k>1$ and exponential tails. Consider the $\lambda$-biased random walk $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ on ${\cal T}$; this is the…

For a normal surface singularity, the discrepancy between the ordinary and dual middle-perversity intersection complexes over \(\mathbb Z\) is measured by a finite group \(E\). In previous work, \(E\) was identified with link torsion, the…

We develop a Thurston-like theory to characterize geometrically finite rational maps, then apply it to study pinching and plumbing deformations of rational maps. We show that in certain conditions the pinching path converges uniformly and…

The connective constant $\mu(G)$ of a quasi-transitive graph $G$ is the exponential growth rate of the number of self-avoiding walks from a given origin. We prove a locality theorem for connective constants, namely, that the connective…

We study orbits and reachable sets of generic couples of Hamiltonians $H_1, H_2$ on a symplectic manifold $N$. We prove that, $C^k$-generically for $k$ large enough, orbits coincide with the whole of $N$, and that the same is true for…
