Given a class of graphs F, we say that a graph G is universal for F, or F-universal, if every H in F is contained in G as a subgraph. The construction of sparse universal graphs for various families F has received a considerable amount of…

One of the most important and useful examples in discrete geometry is a finite sequence of points on the moment curve $\gamma(t)=(t,t^2,t^3,\dots ,t^d)$ or, more generally, on a {\it strictly monotone curve} in $\mathbb R^d$. These…

We construct a category $\OrdFor$ as an arboreal extension of $\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}\subseteq\Delta$, whose morphisms are ordered forests composed by grafting. We define a full functor $\pi\colon \OrdFor\to\Delta_{\mathrm{epi}}^{op}$…

A reduction $\varphi$ of an ordered group $(G,P)$ to another ordered group is an order homomorphism which maps each interval $[1,p]$ bijectively onto $[1, \varphi(p)]$. We show that if $(G,P)$ is weakly quasi-lattice ordered and reduces to…

We prove that the free uniform spanning forest of any bounded degree proper plane graph is connected almost surely, answering a question of Benjamini, Lyons, Peres and Schramm. We provide a quantitative form of this result, calculating the…

We make progress toward a characterization of the graphs $H$ such that every connected $H$-free graph has a longest path transversal of size $1$. In particular, we show that the graphs $H$ on at most $4$ vertices satisfying this property…

A graph is called homogeneously traceable if every vertex is an endpoint of a Hamilton path. In 1979 Chartrand, Gould and Kapoor proved that for every integer $n\ge 9,$ there exists a homogeneously traceable nonhamiltonian graph of order…

The Erd\H{o}s--Hajnal Theorem asserts that non-universal graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain an induced copy of some fixed graph $H$, have homogeneous sets of size significantly larger than one can generally expect to find in a…

The spectrum of the $k$-power hypergraph of a graph $G$ is called the $k$-ordered spectrum of $G$.If graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ have same $k$-ordered spectrum for all positive integer $k\geq2$, $G_1$ and $G_2$ are said to be high-ordered…

The dual of a map is a fundamental construction on combinatorial maps, but many other combinatorial objects also possess their notion of duality. For instance, the Tamari lattice is isomorphic to its order dual, which induces an involution…

An extremal graph for a given graph $H$ is a graph with maximum number of edges on fixed number of vertices without containing a copy of $H$. The $k$-th power of a path is a graph obtained from a path and joining all pair of vertices of the…

A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…

We introduce and study the {\em orderly spanning trees} of plane graphs. This algorithmic tool generalizes {\em canonical orderings}, which exist only for triconnected plane graphs. Although not every plane graph admits an orderly spanning…

Quasi-trees generalize trees in that the unique "path" between two nodes may be infinite and have any countable order type. They are used to define the rank-width of a countable graph in such a way that it is equal to the least upper-bound…

In this study, it is proven that the universal equivalence of general linear groups (admitting the inverse-transpose automorphism) of orders greater than $2$, over local, not necessarily commutative rings with $1/2$, is equivalent to the…

For any length category, we establish a set of rules (necessary and sufficient) that ensure a partial order on the isomorphism classes of simple objects such that the category is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional…

Given any digraph $D$ on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{P}(D)$ be the family of all directed paths in $D$, and let $H$ be a digraph with the arc set $A(H)=\{a_1, \ldots, a_k\}$. The digraph $D$ is called arbitrary Hamiltonian $H$-linked if for…

We generalize to tree graphs obtained by connecting path graphs an oracle result obtained for the Fused Lasso over the path graph. Moreover we show that it is possible to substitute in the oracle inequality the minimum of the distances…

We study the number of linear extensions of a partial order with a given proportion of comparable pairs of elements, and estimate the maximum and minimum possible numbers. We also consider a random interval partial order on $n$ elements,…

A $k$-edge-colored graph is a finite, simple graph with edges labeled by numbers $1,\ldots,k$. A function from the vertex set of one $k$-edge-colored graph to another is a homomorphism if the endpoints of any edge are mapped to two…
