W.Specht (1940) proved that two $n\times n$ complex matrices $A$ and $B$ are unitarily similar if and only if $\operatorname{trace} w(A,A^{\ast}) = \operatorname{trace} w(B,B^{\ast})$ for every word $w(x,y)$ in two noncommuting variables.…
A notion of cyclic descents on standard Young tableaux (SYT) of rectangular shape was introduced by Rhoades, and extended to certain skew shapes by Adin, Elizalde and Roichman. The cyclic descent set restricts to the usual descent set when…
We introduce merge-width, a family of graph parameters that unifies several structural graph measures, including treewidth, degeneracy, twin-width, clique-width, and generalized coloring numbers. Our parameters are based on new…
In this paper, we develop a general analysis for the fixed points of the operators defining the graph splitting methods from [SIAM J. Optim., 34 (2024), pp. 1569-1594] by Bredies, Chenchene and Naldi. We particularize it to the case where…
We prove a bijection between the triangulations of the 3-dimensional cyclic polytope C(n+2, 3) and persistent graphs with n vertices. We show that under this bijection the Stasheff-Tamari orders on triangulations naturally translate to…
In 1939 P. Tur\'an started to derive lower estimations on the norm of the derivatives of polynomials of (maximum) norm 1 on $I:=[-1,1]$ (interval) and $D:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}~:~|z|\le 1\}$ (disk), under the normalization condition that the…
A plane poset is a finite set with two partial orders, satisfying a certain incompatibility condition. The set PP of isoclasses of plane posets owns two products, and an infinitesimal Hopf algebra structure is defined on the vector space…
We propose a new analysis of convergence for a $k$th order ($k\ge 1$) finite element method, which is applied on Bakhvalov-type meshes to a singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problem. A novel interpolant is introduced, which has…
The purpose of this article is to initiate a combinatorial study of the Bruhat-Chevalley ordering on certain sets of permutations obtained by omitting the parentheses from their standard cyclic notation. In particular, we show that these…
The goal of the paper is twofold: on one side it provides an order structure on the set of all maximal chains in the Bruhat poset of Schubert varieties in a Grassmann variety; on the other hand, using this order structure, it works out…
We continue the study of Adin, Alon and Roichman [arXiv:2502.14398, 2025] on the number of steps required to sort $n$ labelled points on a circle by transpositions. Imagine that the vertices of a cycle of length $n$ are labelled by the…
Bergeron, Bousquet-Melou and Dulucq enumerated paths in the Hasse diagram of the following poset: the underlying set is that of all compositions, and a composition \mu covers another composition \lambda if \mu can be obtained from \lambda…
We consider the problem of identifying a subset of nodes in a network that will enable the fastest spread of information in a decentralized environment.In a model of communication based on a random walk on an undirected graph, the optimal…
A directed graph is oriented if it can be obtained by orienting the edges of a simple, undirected graph. For an oriented graph $G$, let $\beta(G)$ denote the size of a minimum feedback arc set, a smallest subset of edges whose deletion…
We prove that among all graphs of order n, the path uniquely minimises the average order of its connected induced subgraphs. This confirms a conjecture of Kroeker, Mol and Oellermann, and generalises a classical result of Jamison for trees,…
Erd{\H o}s (1963) initiated extensive graph discrepancy research on 2-edge-colored graphs. Gishboliner, Krivelevich, and Michaeli (2023) launched similar research on oriented graphs. They conjectured the following extension of Dirac's…
Local sets, a graph structure invariant under local complementation, have been originally introduced in the context of quantum computing for the study of quantum entanglement within the so-called graph state formalism. A local set in a…
In 1967, Katona and Szemer\'{e}di showed that no undirected graph with $n$ vertices and fewer than $\frac{n}{2}\log_2\frac{n}{2}$ edges admits an orientation of diameter two. In 1978, Chv\'atal and Thomassen revealed the complexity of…
A minimum dominating set for a digraph (directed graph) is a smallest set of vertices such that each vertex either belongs to this set or has at least one parent vertex in this set. We solve this hard combinatorial optimization problem…
In this paper, we propose and analyze a finite element discretization for the computation of fractional minimal graphs of order~$s \in (0,1/2)$ on a bounded domain $\Omega$. Such a Plateau problem of order $s$ can be reinterpreted as a…
