The transport of traffic flow can be modeled by the advection equation. Finite difference and finite volumes methods have been used to numerically solve this hyperbolic equation on a mesh. Advection has also been modeled discretely on…
We initiate the study of a fundamental combinatorial problem: Given a capacitated graph $G=(V,E)$, find a shortest walk ("route") from a source $s\in V$ to a destination $t\in V$ that includes all vertices specified by a set…
We present the explicit form of a family of Liouville integrable maps in 3 variables, the so-called triad family of maps and we propose a multi-field generalisation of the latter. We show that by imposing separability of variables to the…
Dyck tilings are certain tilings in the region surrounded by two Dyck paths. We study bijections and combinatorial objects bijective to Dyck tilings, which include Dyck tiling strip (DTS) and Dyck tiling ribbon (DTR) bijections, increasing…
A new framework is proposed to study rank-structured matrices arising from discretizations of 2D and 3D elliptic operators. In particular, we introduce the notion of a graph-induced rank structure (GIRS) which aims to capture the fine low…
We prove existence of intersection exponents xi(k,lambda) for biased random walks on d-dimensional half-infinite discrete cylinders, and show that, as functions of lambda, these exponents are real analytic. As part of the argument, we prove…
In the Directed Disjoint Paths problem ($k$-DDP), we are given a digraph $k$ pairs of terminals, and the goal is to find $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths connecting each pair of terminals. Bang-Jensen and Thomassen [SIAM J. Discrete Math.…
The descent-to-peak map serves as a bridge between algebra and combinatorics. We use it as a tool for proving the equidistribution of peak and valley sets of standard Young tableaux with a very short argument. We also introduce a new…
The intermediate dynamics of composed one-dimensional maps is used to multiply attractors in phase space and create multiple independent bifurcation diagrams which can split apart. Results are shown for the composition of k-paradigmatic…
Creating maps is an essential task in robotics and provides the basis for effective planning and navigation. In this paper, we learn a compact and continuous implicit surface map of an environment from a stream of range data with known…
These lecture notes are devoted to the integrability of discrete systems and their relation to the theory of Yang-Baxter (YB) maps. Lax pairs play a significant role in the integrability of discrete systems. We introduce the notion of Lax…
The main purpose of this paper is to present a kneading theory for two-dimensional triangular maps. This is done by defining a tensor product between the polynomials and matrices corresponding to the one-dimensional basis map and fiber map.…
This paper addresses the issue of policy evaluation in Markov Decision Processes, using linear function approximation. It provides a unified view of algorithms such as TD(lambda), LSTD(lambda), iLSTD, residual-gradient TD. It is asserted…
Web graphs form a family of planar directed graphs with boundary that can be used to model quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-invariant vectors. Standard Young tableaux on an $n \times k$ rectangle naturally index a basis for $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ web…
Let $P$ be a set of $n \geq 5$ points in convex position in the plane. The path graph $G(P)$ of $P$ is an abstract graph whose vertices are non-crossing spanning paths of $P$, such that two paths are adjacent if one can be obtained from the…
We construct an explicit vector space basis in terms of bivariate Vandermonde determinants for the alternating component of the diagonal coinvariant ring $DR_n$, answering a question of Stump. As a Corollary, we recover the combinatorial…
It was shown by Beisegel, Chudnovsky, Gurvich, Milani\v{c}, and Servatius in 2022 that every induced $2$-edge path in a vertex-transitive graph closes to an induced cycle. Similar results were obtained for 3-edge paths closing to cycles in…
Given a toric degeneration (a degeneration to a toric variety), over the complex numbers, we construct a surjective continuous map from a general fiber to the special fiber of the degeneration in the classical topology. The construction is…
We consider the problem of enumerating d-irreducible maps, i.e. planar maps whose all cycles have length at least d, and such that any cycle of length d is the boundary of a face of degree d. We develop two approaches in parallel: the…
Skew Dyck are a variation of Dyck paths, where additionally to steps $(1,1)$ and $(1,-1)$ a south-west step $(-1,-1)$ is also allowed, provided that the path does not intersect itself. Replacing the south-west step by a red south-east step,…
