Assume that there is a free group action of automorphisms on a bipartite graph. If there is a perfect matching on the factor graph, then obviously there is a perfect matching on the graph. Surprisingly, the reversed is also true for…

Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous results cover only a few specific instances of this general…

We show that all the tangles in a finite graph or matroid can be distinguished by a single tree-decomposition that is invariant under the automorphisms of the graph or matroid. This comes as a corollary of a similar decomposition theorem…

A data matrix may be seen simply as a means of organizing observations into rows ( e.g., by measured object) and into columns ( e.g., by measured variable) so that the observations can be analyzed with mathematical tools. As a mathematical…

We show an improved parallel algorithm for decomposing an undirected unweighted graph into small diameter pieces with a small fraction of the edges in between. These decompositions form critical subroutines in a number of graph algorithms.…

If V(R) is the vertex set of a symmetric cycle R in the tope graph of a simple oriented matroid M, then for any tope T of M there exists a unique inclusion-minimal subset Q(T,R) of V(R) such that T is the sum of the topes of Q(T,R). If for…

Let $M=(m_{ij})$ be a symmetric matrix of order $n$ whose elements lie in an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, and let $G$ be the graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that distinct vertices $i$ and $j$ are adjacent if and only if $m_{ij}…

Suppose $G$ is a controllable graph of order $n$ with adjacency matrix $A$. Let $W=[e,Ae,\ldots,A^{n-1}e]$ ($e$ is the all-one vector) and $\Delta=\prod_{i>j}(\alpha_i-\alpha_j)^2$ ($\alpha_i$'s are eigenvalues of $A$) be the walk matrix…

Schur decompositions and the corresponding Schur forms of a single matrix, a pair of matrices, or a collection of matrices associated with the periodic eigenvalue problem are frequently used and studied. These forms are upper-triangular…

The degree matrix of a graph is the diagonal matrix with diagonal entries equal to the degrees of the vertices of $X$. If $X_1$ and $X_2$ are graphs with respective adjacency matrices $A_1$ and $A_2$ and degree matrices $D_1$ and $D_2$, we…

We give a method for constructing a regularizing decomposition of a matrix pencil, which is formulated in terms of the linear mappings. We prove that two pencils are topologically equivalent if and only if their regularizing decompositions…

Graphs can be used to represent a wide variety of data belonging to different domains. Graphs can capture the relationship among data in an efficient way, and have been widely used. In recent times, with the advent of Big Data, there has…

In this paper, we show that every highly edge-connected graph $G$, under a necessary and sufficient degree condition, can be edge-decomposed into $k$ factors $G_1,\ldots, G_k$ such that for each vertex $v\in V(G_i)$ with $1\le i\le k$,…

The Subgraph Isomorphism problem asks, given a host graph G on n vertices and a pattern graph P on k vertices, whether G contains a subgraph isomorphic to P. The restriction of this problem to planar graphs has often been considered. After…

We take matrix decompositions that are usually applied to matrices over the real numbers or complex numbers, and extend them to matrices over an algebra called the double numbers. In doing so, we unify some matrix decompositions: For…
