In this article, we investigate the multi-parametric matroid problem. The weights of the elements of the matroid's ground set depend linearly on an arbitrary but fixed number of parameters, each of which is taken from a real interval. The…
We consider the problem of placing k queens on an nxn board so that the total number of attacked squares is as small as possible. In particular, we consider the domain where k is small relative to n and derive nearly tight bounds in this…
The fixed point property for finite posets of width 3 and 4 is studied in terms of forbidden retracts. The ranked forbidden retracts for width 3 and 4 are determined explicitly. The ranked forbidden retracts for the width 3 case that are…
Let $P$ and $Q$ be bounded posets. In this note, a lemma is introduced that provides a set of sufficient conditions for the proper part of $P$ being homotopy equivalent to the suspension of the proper part of~$Q$. An application of this…
We consider the following supercritical problem for the Lane-Emden system: \begin{equation}\label{eq00} \begin{cases} -\Delta u_1=|u_2|^{p-1}u_2\ &in\ D,\\ -\Delta u_2=|u_1|^{q-1}u_1 \ &in\ D,\\ u_1=u_2=0\ &on\ \partial D, \end{cases}…
A new class of geometric query problems are studied in this paper. We are required to preprocess a set of geometric objects $P$ in the plane, so that for any arbitrary query point $q$, the largest circle that contains $q$ but does not…
Let $(X,\le)$ be a {\em non-empty strictly inductive poset}, that is, a non-empty partially ordered set such that every non-empty chain $Y$ has a least upper bound lub$(Y)\in X$, a chain being a subset of $X$ totally ordered by $\le$. We…
The goal of this article is to display a $Q$-polynomial structure for the Attenuated Space poset $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$. The poset $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$ is briefly described as follows. Start with an $(N+M)$-dimensional vector space $H$ over a…
For any finite poset we define a generating polynomial counting upsets, downsets, and their intersection. We investigate the behaviour of this polynomial with respect to poset operations, show that it distinguishes series-parallel posets,…
The W-set of an element of a weak order poset is useful in the cohomological study of the closures of spherical subgroups in generalized flag varieties. We explicitly describe in a purely combinatorial manner the W-sets of the weak order…
This paper is devoted to the study of metric subregularity and strong subregularity of any positive order $q$ for set-valued mappings in finite and infinite dimensions. While these notions have been studied and applied earlier for $q=1$…
In this article we present a new multigrid preconditioner for the linear systems arising in the semismooth Newton method solution of certain control-constrained, quadratic distributed optimal control problems. Using a piecewise constant…
We completely determine the complexity status of the dominating set problem for hereditary graph classes defined by forbidden induced subgraphs with at most five vertices.
We show that superpositions of classical states in quantum gravity with fixed topology can lead to new classical states with a different topology. We study this phenomenon in a particular limit of the LLM geometries. In this limit, the UV…
We consider a generalized poset sorting problem (GPS), in which we are given a query graph $G = (V, E)$ and an unknown poset $\mathcal{P}(V, \prec)$ that is defined on the same vertex set $V$, and the goal is to make as few queries as…
We consider the power of Boolean circuits with MOD$_{6}$ gates. First, we introduce a few basic notions of computational complexity, and describe the standard models with which we study the complexity of problems. We then define the model…
We study the critical behavior of the q-state Potts model with random ferromagnetic couplings. Working with the cluster representation the partition sum of the model in the large-q limit is dominated by a single graph, the fractal…
We consider set covering problems where the underlying set system satisfies a particular replacement property w.r.t. a given partial order on the elements: Whenever a set is in the set system then a set stemming from it via the replacement…
The problem of pseudo-gap formation in an electronic system, induced by the fluctuations of the order parameter is revisited. We make the observation that a large class of current theories are theoretically equivalent to averaging the Free…
We construct a theory to introduce the concept of topologically robust exceptional points (EP). Starting from an ordered system with $N$ elements, we find the necessary condition to have the highest order exceptional point, namely…
