We give a definition of an integer-valued function $\sum_i \alpha_i x ^*_i$ derived from arrow diagrams for the ambient isotopy classes of oriented spherical curves. Then, we introduce certain elements of the free $\mathbb{Z}$-module…

Squaregraphs were originally defined as finite plane graphs in which all inner faces are quadrilaterals (i.e., 4-cycles) and all inner vertices (i.e., the vertices not incident with the outer face) have degrees larger than three. The planar…

For a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}=(X,\mathcal{E})$ a \emph{support} is a graph $G$ on $X$ such that for each $E\in\mathcal{E}$, the induced subgraph of $G$ on the elements in $E$ is connected. If $G$ is planar, we call it a planar support. A…

In an earlier paper the authors proved that limits of convergent graph sequences can be described by various structures, including certain 2-variable real functions called graphons, random graph models satisfying certain consistency…

In a finite undirected simple graph, a chordless cycle is an induced subgraph which is a cycle. A graph is called cyclically orientable if it admits an orientation in which every chordless cycle is cyclically oriented. We propose an…

Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…

By fundamental results of Sch\"utzenberger, McNaughton and Papert from the 1970s, the classes of first-order definable and aperiodic languages coincide. Here, we extend this equivalence to a quantitative setting. For this, weighted automata…

Let F be a set of ordered patterns, i.e., graphs whose vertices are linearly ordered. An F-free ordering of the vertices of a graph H is a linear ordering of V(H) such that none of patterns in F occurs as an induced ordered subgraph. We…

We show how to calculate the operator algebra and the operator Lie algebra of a stochastic labelled-graph grammar. More specifically, we carry out a generic calculation of the product (and therefore the commutator) of time-evolution…

The question to enumerate all inclusion-minimal connected dominating sets in a graph of order $n$ in time significantly less than $2^n$ is an open question that was asked in many places. We answer this question affirmatively, by providing…

Fixed points ${\bf u}=\varphi({\bf u})$ of marked and primitive morphisms $\varphi$ over arbitrary alphabet are considered. We show that if ${\bf u}$ is palindromic, i.e., its language contains infinitely many palindromes, then some power…

In this paper we prove that decomposable forms, or homogeneous polynomials $F(x_1, \cdots, x_n)$ with integer coefficients which split completely into linear factors over $\mathbb{C}$, take on infinitely many square-free values subject to…

The problem of when a given digraph contains a subdivision of a fixed digraph $F$ is considered. Bang-Jensen et al. laid out foundations for approaching this problem from the algorithmic point of view. In this paper we give further support…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $n\geq2$ a positive integer, $\mathbb{V}_0$ a $n$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $\mathbb{T}_0$ the set of all linear functionals from $\mathbb{V}_0$ to…

For every $2$-regular graph $F$ of order $v$, the Oberwolfach problem $OP(F)$ asks whether there is a $2$-factorization of $K_v$ ($v$ odd) or $K_v$ minus a $1$-factor ($v$ even) into copies of $F$. Posed by Ringel in 1967 and extensively…

We study the family of \emph{derangement action digraphs}, which are a subfamily of the group action graphs introduced in [Fred Annexstein, Marc Baumslag, and Arnold L. Rosenberg, Group action graphs and parallel architectures, \emph{SIAM…

For a set of nonnegative integers $A$, denote by $R_{A}(n)$ the number of unordered representations of the integer $n$ as the sum of two different terms from $A$. In this paper we partially describe the structure of the sets, which have…

In this work, we define an orthogonal graph on the set of equivalence classes of $(2\nu + \delta)-$tuples over $\mathbb{Z}_{2^n}$ where $n$ and $\nu$ are positive integers and $\delta = 0, 1$ or $2$. We classify our graph if it is strongly…

In a previous article, we extended the notion of ergodic optimization to the setting of C*-dynamical systems of countable discrete groups. Among the key results of that paper was that given an action $G \stackrel{\Xi}{\curvearrowright}…

Grammar based compression, where one replaces a long string by a small context-free grammar that generates the string, is a simple and powerful paradigm that captures many popular compression schemes. In this paper, we present a novel…
