A 1-factorisation of a regular graph $G$ is a partition of its edge set $E(G)$ into perfect matchings of $G$. Behague asked for the minimal $r=r(d)$ such that some $1$-factorisation of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$ has the property…

Fix positive integers $k$ and $d$. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, any set system $\mathcal{A} \subset 2^{[n]}$ for which the VC dimension of $\{ \triangle_{i=1}^k S_i \mid S_i \in \mathcal{A}\}$ is at most $d$ has size at most…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. Let $f(n,a)$ be the maximum number of sets in a…

Reliability assessment of interconnection networks is critical to the design and maintenance of multiprocessor systems. The $(n, k)$-enhanced hypercube $Q_{n,k}$, as a variation of the hypercube $Q_{n}$, was proposed by Tzeng and Wei in…

For an interconnection network $G$, the {\it $\omega$-wide diameter} $d_\omega(G)$ is the least $\ell$ such that any two vertices are joined by $\omega$ internally-disjoint paths of length at most $\ell$, and the {\it $(\omega-1)$-fault…

Let $Q_n(z)$ be the polynomials associated with the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula $$\sum_{n\geq 1} Q_n(z) q^n := \prod_{m = 1}^\infty (1 - q^m)^{-z - 1}.$$ In this paper we partially answer a conjecture of Heim and Neuhauser, which asks if…

It is known that the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n,$ for $n$ even, has a decomposition into $k$-cycles for $k=n, 2n,$ $2^l$ with $2 \leq l \leq n.$ In this paper, we prove that $Q_n$ has a decomposition into $2^mn$-cycles for $n \geq 2^m.$…

A famous result by R\"odl, Ruci\'nski, and Szemer\'edi guarantees a (tight) Hamilton cycle in $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum $(k-1)$-degree $\delta_{k-1}(H)\geq (1/2+o(1))n$, thereby extending Dirac's result from…

The hypercube Q_n is the graph whose vertex set is {0,1}^n and where two vertices are adjacent if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any subgraph H of the cube, let ex(Q_n, H) be the maximum number of edges in a subgraph of Q_n…

We prove that if two families $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ and $\mathcal{F}' \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k'}$ satisfy $\sum_{1 \leq i, j \leq \ell} \lvert F_i \cap F_j' \rvert \geq \ell^2t - \ell +1$ for every choice of distinct $F_1,…

The well-known Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem states that for $n> 2k$, every intersecting family of $k$-sets of $[n]:=\{1,\ldots ,n\}$ has at most $ {n-1 \choose k-1}$ sets, and the extremal family consists of all $k$-sets containing a fixed…

This paper has three aims. First, for $n \geq 1$ we construct a family of real-rooted trigonometric polynomial maps $P : \mathbb C^n \mapsto \mathbb C^n$ whose divisors are Fourier Quasicrystals (FQ). For $n = 1$ these divisors include the…

We prove that a subset of the hypercube $(0,1)^d$ with volume sufficiently close to $\frac12$ has (relative) perimeter greater than or equal to $1$. This settles a conjecture by Brezis and Bruckstein. We also prove that, in contrast with…

Building on the results of our previous work on Euclidean leaper tours, considering all integers $k>1$ and $h>0$, we study the existence of Hamiltonian cycles in the vertex set $C(2,k):=\{0,1\}^k$ of the $k$-dimensional hypercube when the…

A family $\mathcal{F} \subset \mathcal{P}(n)$ is $r$-wise $k$-intersecting if $|A_1 \cap \dots \cap A_r| \geq k$ for any $A_1, \dots, A_r \in \mathcal{F}$. It is easily seen that if $\mathcal{F}$ is $r$-wise $k$-intersecting for $r \geq 2$,…
