This paper is concerned with the relationship between the discrete and the continuous decreasing minimization problem on base-polyhedra. The continuous version (under the name of lexicographically optimal base of a polymatroid) was solved…
We study a delay-sensitive information flow problem where a source streams information to a sink over a directed graph G(V,E) at a fixed rate R possibly using multiple paths to minimize the maximum end-to-end delay, denoted as the…
We investigate the partitioning of partial orders into a minimal number of heapable subsets. We prove a characterization result reminiscent of the proof of Dilworth's theorem, which yields as a byproduct a flow-based algorithm for computing…
We propose a new stable variational formulation for the quad-div problem in three dimensions and prove its well-posedness. Using this weak form, we develop and analyze the $\boldsymbol{H}(\operatorname{grad-div})$-conforming virtual element…

We construct finite element de~Rham complexes of higher and possibly non-uniform polynomial order in finite element exterior calculus (FEEC). Starting from the finite element differential complex of lowest-order, known as the complex of…
A pathway from one vertex of a quiver to another is a reduced path. We modify the classical definition of quiver representations and we prove that semi-invariant polynomials for filtered quiver representations come from diagonal entries if…

We study the complexity of the problems of finding, given a graph $G$, a largest induced subgraph of $G$ with all degrees odd (called an odd subgraph), and the smallest number of odd subgraphs that partition $V(G)$. We call these parameters…
In this article, we study the combinatorics of congruence subgroups of the modular group. More precisely, we consider the notion of minimal monomial solutions. These are the solutions of a matrix equation (also appearing in the study of…
The Dulmage--Mendelsohn decomposition (or the DM-decomposition) gives a unique partition of the vertex set of a bipartite graph reflecting the structure of all the maximum matchings therein. A bipartite graph is said to be DM-irreducible if…
The flow semigroup, introduced by John Rhodes, is an invariant for digraphs and a complete invariant for graphs. After collecting together previous partial results, we refine and prove Rhodes's conjecture on the structure of the maximal…
A proof of convergence is given for a novel evolving surface finite element semi-discretization of Willmore flow of closed two-dimensional surfaces, and also of surface diffusion flow. The numerical method proposed and studied here…
The Green ring of the half quantum group $H=U_n(q)$ is computed in [Chen, Van Oystaeyen, Zhang]. The tensor product formulas between indecomposables may be used for a generalized subgroup depth computation in the setting of quantum groups…
The discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) is a well-established approach, widely used for state reconstruction using sparse sensor/measurement data, nonlinear model reduction, and interpretable feature selection. We introduce the…
Let $K\subseteq{\mathbb R}^n$ be a convex semialgebraic set. The semidefinite extension degree ${\mathrm{sxdeg}}(K)$ of $K$ is the smallest number $d$ such that $K$ is a linear image of an intersection of finitely many spectrahedra, each of…
We provide a new algebraic technique to solve the sequential flow problem in polynomial space. The task is to maximise the flow through a graph where edge capacities can be changed over time by choosing a sequence of capacity labelings from…
As techniques for graph query processing mature, the need for optimization is increasingly becoming an imperative. Indices are one of the key ingredients toward efficient query processing strategies via cost-based optimization. Due to the…
We introduce a new convex optimization problem, termed quadratic decomposable submodular function minimization. The problem is closely related to decomposable submodular function minimization and arises in many learning on graphs and…
In this work, a graph partitioning problem in a fixed number of connected components is considered. Given an undirected graph with costs on the edges, the problem consists of partitioning the set of nodes into a fixed number of subsets with…
