Let \Omega and \tilde{\Omega} be uniformly convex domains in \mathbb{R}^n with smooth boundary. We show that there exists a diffeomorphism f: \Omega \to \tilde{\Omega} such that the graph \Sigma = \{(x,f(x)): x \in \Omega\} is a minimal…

We give upper bounds for the number $\Phi_\ell(G)$ of matchings of size $\ell$ in (i) bipartite graphs $G=(X\cup Y, E)$ with specified degrees $d_x$ ($x\in X$), and (ii) general graphs $G=(V,E)$ with all degrees specified. In particular,…
