Finding two disjoint simple paths on two given sets of points is a geometric problem introduced by Jeff Erickson. This problem has various applications in computational geometry, like robot motion planning, generating polygon etc. We will…
It is well-known that the $d$-dimensional hypercube contains a Hamilton cycle for $d\ge 2$. In this paper we address the analogous problem in the $3$-uniform cube hypergraph, a $3$-uniform analogue of the hypercube: for simple parity…
The $n$-dimensional hypercube network $Q_n$ is one of the most popular interconnection networks since it has simple structure and is easy to implement. The $n$-dimensional locally twisted cube, denoted by $LTQ_n$, an important variation of…
In this paper we study and compare two homology theories for (simple and undirected) graphs. The first, which was developed by Barcelo, Caprano, and White, is based on graph maps from hypercubes to the graph. The second theory was developed…
Dong and Wang in [Theor. Comput. Sci. 771 (2019) 93--98] conjectured that the resulting graph of the $n$-dimensional folded hypercube $FQ_n$ by deleting any perfect matching is isomorphic to the hypercube $Q_n$. In this paper, we show that…
A Hamilton decomposition of a graph is a partitioning of its edge set into disjoint spanning cycles. The existence of such decompositions is known for all hypercubes of even dimension $2n$. We give a decomposition for the case $n = 2^a3^b$…
Wu in 1999 conjectured that if $H$ is a subgraph of the complete graph $K_{2n+1}$ with $n$ edges, then there is a Hamiltonian cycle decomposition of $K_{2n+1}$ such that each edge of $H$ is in a separate Hamiltonian cycle. The conjecture…
The twisted hypercube-like networks($THLNs$) contain several important hypercube variants. This paper is concerned with the fault-tolerant path-embedding of $n$-dimensional($n$-$D$) $THLNs$. Let $G_n$ be an $n$-$D$ $THLN$ and $F$ be a…
Bj\"orklund and Husfeldt developed a randomized polynomial time algorithm to solve the shortest two disjoint paths problem. Their algorithm is based on computation of permanents modulo 4 and the isolation lemma. In this paper, we consider…
A path cover is a decomposition of the edges of a graph into edge-disjoint simple paths. Gallai conjectured that every connected $n$-vertex graph has a path cover with at most $\lceil n/2 \rceil$ paths. We prove Gallai's conjecture for…
The classic result by Fortune, Hopcroft, and Wyllie [TCS~'80] states that the directed disjoint paths problem is NP-complete even for two pairs of terminals. Extending this well-known result, we show that the directed disjoint paths problem…
Given a partition $h_1+h_2+\dots+h_k = n$, a latin square of order $n$ with pairwise disjoint subsquares of orders $h_1,\dots ,h_k$ is called a realization. When the values $h_i$ are of at most two sizes, the existence of a realization has…
It is well-known that a Riemann surface can be decomposed into the so-called pairs-of-pants. Each pair-of-pants is diffeomorphic to a Riemann sphere minus 3 points. We show that a smooth complex projective hypersurface of arbitrary…
We investigate relation between Dehn fillings and commensurability of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The set consisting of the commensurability classes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds admits the quotient topology induced by the geometric topology. We…
We study Hamiltonian walks (HWs) on the family of three--dimensional modified Sierpinski gasket fractals, as a model for compact polymers in nonhomogeneous media in three dimensions. Each member of this fractal family is labeled with an…
If $H$ is a Hilbert space, the non-compact Stiefel manifold $St(n,H)$ consists of independent $n$-tuples in $H$. In this article, we contribute to the topological study of non-compact Stiefel manifolds, mainly by proving two results on the…
We say that two graphs on the same vertex set are $G$-creating if their union (the union of their edges) contains $G$ as a subgraph. Let $H_n(G)$ be the maximum number of pairwise $G$-creating Hamiltonian paths of $K_n$. Cohen, Fachini and…
A certain signed adjacency matrix of the hypercube, which Hao Huang used last year to resolve the sensitivity conjecture, is closely related to the unique, 4-cycle free, 2-fold cover of the hypercube. We develop a framework in which this…
A gauge invariant Hamiltonian representation for SU(2) in terms of a spin network basis is introduced. The vectors of the spin network basis are independent and the electric part of the Hamiltonian is diagonal in this representation. The…
Many multiprocessor systems have interconnection networks as underlying topologies and an interconnection network is usually represented by a graph where nodes represent processors and links represent communication links between processors.…
