Given a weighted graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and a positive integer $p$, the Hamiltonian $p$-median problem consists in finding $p$ cycles of minimum total weight such that each vertex of $G$ is in exactly one cycle. We…

A graph covering projection, also referred to as a locally bijective homomorphism, is a mapping between the vertices and edges of two graphs that preserves incidences and is a local bijection. This concept originates in topological graph…

A classical inequality which is due to Lickorish and Hempel says that the distance between two curves in the curve complex can be measured by their intersection number. In this paper, we show a converse version; the intersection number of…

The paper considers the NP-hard graph vertex coloring problem, which differs from traditional problems in which it is required to color vertices with a given (or minimal) number of colors so that adjacent vertices have different colors. In…

Computing the topology of an algebraic plane curve $\mathcal{C}$ means to compute a combinatorial graph that is isotopic to $\mathcal{C}$ and thus represents its topology in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that, for a polynomial of degree $n$ with…

Error bounds have been studied for more than seventy years, beginning with the seminal result of Hoffman (1952) [{\it J. Res. Natl. Bur. Standards}, 49 (1952), 263--265], which establishes an upper bound for the distance from an arbitrary…

Simulation speed depends on code structures, hence it is crucial how to build a fast algorithm. We solve the Allen-Cahn equation by an explicit finite difference method, so it requires grid calculations implemented by many for-loops in the…
