In the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) there are n vertices and each of the possible edges is independently present with probability p. The random graph G(n,p) is homogeneous in the sense that all vertices have the same…
A square matrix of order $n$ with $n\geq 2$ is called a \textit{permutative matrix} or permutative when all its rows (up to the first one) are permutations of precisely its first row. In this paper, the spectra of a class of permutative…
In this paper, we show that any $B_2$-VPG graph (i.e., an intersection graph of orthogonal curves with at most 2 bends) can be decomposed into $O(\log n)$ outerstring graphs or $O(\log^3 n)$ permutation graphs. This leads to better…
We find large deviation principles for the degree distribution and the proportion of isolated vertices for the near intermediate random geometric graph models on n vertices placed uniformly in [0, 1]^d, for d in N. In the course of the…
Let $x,y\in(0,1]$ and let $A,B,C$ be disjoint nonempty subsets of a graph $G$, where every vertex in $A$ has at least $x|B|$ neighbours in $B$, and every vertex in $B$ has at least $y|C|$ neighbours in $C$. We denote by $\phi(x,y)$ the…
Geometrical objects with integral side lengths have fascinated mathematicians through the ages. We call a set $P=\{p_1,...,p_n\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^2$ a maximal integral point set over $\mathbb{Z}^2$ if all pairwise distances are integral and…
Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…
Characterized are all simple undirected graphs $G$ such that any real symmetric matrix that has graph $G$ has no eigenvalues of multiplicity more than 2. All such graphs are partial 2-trees (and this follows from a result for rather general…
For each natural number $n$ we determine, both asymptotically and exactly, the maximum number of edges an induced subgraph of order $n$ of the $d$-dimension a grid graph ${\ints}^d$ can have. The asymptotic bound is obtained by using a…
In this paper, we investigate pattern avoidance of parity restricted (even or odd) Grassmannian permutations for patterns of sizes 3 and 4. We use a combination of direct counting and bijective techniques to provide recurrence relations,…
Let $X$, $Y$ be sets and let $\Phi$, $\Psi$ be mappings with domains $X^{2}$ and $Y^{2}$ respectively. We say that $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are combinatorially similar if there are bijections $f \colon \Phi(X^2) \to \Psi(Y^{2})$ and $g \colon Y…
We show an analog to the Fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform for Nearest Neighbor Preserving Embeddings in $\ell_2$. These are sparse, randomized embeddings that preserve the (approximate) nearest neighbors. The dimensionality of the…
A permutomino of size n is a polyomino determined by particular pairs (P1, P2) of permutations of size n, such that P1(i) is different from P2(i), for all i. Here we determine the combinatorial properties and, in particular, the…
A set $C$ of vertices of a simple graph is called a completely regular code if for each $i=0$, $1$, $2$, \ldots and $j = i-1$, $i$, $i+1$, all vertices at distance $i$ from $C$ have the same number $s_{ij}$ of neighbors at distance $j$ from…
In this article we consider the graph alignment problem from the perspective of high-dimensional statistics: we aim to estimate an unknown permutation $\pi^*$ from the observation of two correlated random adjacency matrices $A_1$, $A_2$. We…
The commuting variety of matrices over a given field is a well-studied object in linear algebra and algebraic geometry. As a set, it consists of all pairs of square matrices with entries in that field that commute with one another. In this…
We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…
Let $\gamma_1,\gamma_2$ be a pair of constant-degree irreducible algebraic curves in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Assume that $\gamma_i$ is neither contained in a hyperplane nor in a quadric surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, for each $i=1,2$. We show that for…
A length-$n$ random sequence $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ in a space $S$ is finitely exchangeable if its distribution is invariant under all $n!$ permutations of coordinates. Given $N > n$, we study the extendibility problem: when is it the case that…
Assume that we embed the path $P_n$ as a subgraph of a $2$-dimensional grid, namely, $P_k \times P_l$. Given such an embedding, we consider the ordered set of subpaths $L_1, L_2, \ldots , L_m$ which are maximal straight segments in the…
