Graphs are a useful abstraction of image content. Not only can graphs represent details about individual objects in a scene but they can capture the interactions between pairs of objects. We present a method for training a convolutional…

A propositional logic sentence in conjunctive normal form that has clauses of length two (a 2-CNF) can be associated with a multigraph in which the vertices correspond to the variables and edges to clauses. We first show that every such…

$\newcommand{\floor}[1]{\left\lfloor {#1} \right\rfloor} \renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$ Tverberg's theorem states that a set of $n$ points in $\Re^d$ can be partitioned into $\floor{n/(d+1)}$ sets with a common intersection. A point in…

Let $P$ be a $d$-dimensional $n$-point set. A partition $T$ of $P$ is called a Tverberg partition if the convex hulls of all sets in $T$ intersect in at least one point. We say $T$ is $t$-tolerant if it remains a Tverberg partition after…

Traditionally, most complex intelligence architectures are extremely non-convex, which could not be well performed by convex optimization. However, this paper decomposes complex structures into three types of nodes: operators, algorithms…

Given a finite word $w$ over a finite alphabet $V$, consider the graph with vertex set $V$ and with an edge between two elements of $V$ if and only if the two elements alternate in the word $w$. Such a graph is said to be word-representable…

Letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in a word $w$ if after deleting in $w$ all letters but the copies of $x$ and $y$ we either obtain a word $xyxy\cdots$ (of even or odd length) or a word $yxyx\cdots$ (of even or odd length). A graph $G=(V,E)$ is…

Tverberg's theorem asserts that every (k-1)(d+1)+1 points in R^d can be partitioned into k parts, so that the convex hulls of the parts have a common intersection. Calder and Eckhoff asked whether there is a purely combinatorial deduction…

Nonlinear network dynamics are notoriously difficult to understand. Here we study a class of recurrent neural networks called combinatorial threshold-linear networks (CTLNs) whose dynamics are determined by the structure of a directed…

We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be word-representable if there exists a word $w$ over the alphabet $V$ such that, for any two distinct letters $x, y \in V$, the letters $x$ and $y$ alternate in $w$ if and only if $xy \in E$. A graph is…

Given a locally finite cover of a simplicial complex by subcomplexes, Bj\"orner's version of the Nerve Theorem provides conditions under which the homotopy groups of the nerve agree with those of the original complex through a range of…

A graph is word-representable if it can be represented in a certain way using alternation of letters in words. Word-representable graphs generalise several important and well-studied classes of graphs, and they can be characterised by…

A word-representable graph is a simple graph $G$ which can be represented by a word $w$ over the vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices are adjacent in $G$ if and only if they alternate in $w$. It is known that the class of…
