We consider simplicial sets equipped with a notion of smallness, and observe that this slight "topological" extension of the "algebraic" simplicial language allows a concise reformulation of a number of classical notions in topology, e.g.…
A key problem in the study and design of complex systems is the apparent disconnection between the microscopic and the macroscopic. It is not straightforward to identify the local interactions that give rise to an observed global…
In this paper we show that a simplicial complex can be determined uniquely up to isomorphism by its barycentric subdivision or comparability graph. At the end, it is summarized several algebraic, combinatorial and topological invariants of…
In the last years complex networks tools contributed to provide insights on the structure of research, through the study of collaboration, citation and co-occurrence networks. The network approach focuses on pairwise relationships, often…
We study the complexity of the Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DCSP) on a synchronous, anonymous network from a theoretical standpoint. In this setting, variables and constraints are controlled by agents which communicate with…
We consider a multi-parameter model for randomly constructing simplicial complexes. This model interpolates between random clique complexes and Linial-Meshulam random $k$-dimensional complexes, two models that have been extensively studied.…
Many real-world networks are large, complex and thus hard to understand, analyze or visualize. The data about networks is not always complete, their structure may be hidden or they change quickly over time. Therefore, understanding how…
We study geometric variations of the discriminating code problem. In the \emph{discrete version} of the problem, a finite set of points $P$ and a finite set of objects $S$ are given in $\mathbb{R}^d$. The objective is to choose a subset…
We prove that a connected simplicial complex is uniquely determined by its complex of discrete Morse functions. This settles a question raised by Chari and Joswig. In the 1-dimensional case, this implies that the complex of rooted forests…
Given an alphabet $S$, we consider the size of the subsets of the full sequence space $S^{\rm {\bf Z}}$ determined by the additional restriction that $x_i\not=x_{i+f(n)},\ i\in {\rm {\bf Z}},\ n\in {\rm {\bf N}}.$ Here $f$ is a positive,…
Learning the topology of higher-order networks from data is a fundamental challenge in many signal processing and machine learning applications. Simplicial complexes provide a principled framework for modeling multi-way interactions, yet…
In this paper we introduce a method which allows us to study properties of the random uniform simplicial complex. That is, we assign equal probability to all simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices and then consider properties…
We study the complexity of symmetric assembly puzzles: given a collection of simple polygons, can we translate, rotate, and possibly flip them so that their interior-disjoint union is line symmetric? On the negative side, we show that the…
We characterize the complexity of the PATS problem for patterns of fixed height and color count in variants of the model where seed glues are either chosen or fixed and identical (so-called non-uniform and uniform variants). We prove that…
Degree distribution, or equivalently called degree sequence, has been commonly used to be one of most significant measures for studying a large number of complex networks with which some well-known results have been obtained. By contrast,…
Interpreting three-leaf binary trees or {\em rooted triples} as constraints yields an entailment relation, whereby binary trees satisfying some rooted triples must also thus satisfy others, and thence a closure operator, which is known to…
We build networks of genetic similarity in which the nodes are organisms sampled from biological populations. The procedure is illustrated by constructing networks from genetic data of a marine clonal plant. An important feature in the…
Reducing the conditions under which a given set satisfies the stipulations of the subset sum proposition to a set of linear relationships, the question of whether a set satisfies subset sum may be answered in a polynomial number of steps by…
A simplex-based network is referred to as a higher-order network, in which describe that the interactions can include more than two nodes. Many multicomponent interactions can be grasped through simplicial complexes, which have recently…
A pangenome captures the genetic diversity across multiple individuals simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive reference for genome analysis than a single linear genome, which may introduce allele bias. A widely adopted pangenome…
