The visual complexity of a graph drawing can be measured by the number of geometric objects used for the representation of its elements. In this paper, we study planar graph drawings where edges are represented by few segments. In such a…
A roadmap for a semi-algebraic set $S$ is a curve which has a non-empty and connected intersection with all connected components of $S$. Hence, this kind of object, introduced by Canny, can be used to answer connectivity queries (with…
Given two closed oriented manifolds $M,N$ of the same dimension, we denote the set of degrees of maps from $M$ to $N$ by $D(M,N)$. The set $D(M,N)$ always contains zero. We show the following (non-)realisability results: (i) There exists an…
In this paper, it is shown that every orientable closed 3-manifold maps with nonzero degree onto at most finitely many homeomorphically distinct irreducible non-geometric orientable closed 3-manifolds. Moreover, given any nonzero integer,…
Let $p$ be a prime, let $1 \le t < d < p$ be integers, and let $S$ be a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$. We establish that if a polynomial $P:\mathbb{F}_p^n \to \mathbb{F}_p$ with degree $d$ is such that the image $P(S^n)$ does not…
A path partition (also referred to as a linear forest) of a graph $G$ is a set of vertex-disjoint paths which together contain all the vertices of $G$. An isolated vertex is considered to be a path in this case. The path partition…
This paper gives an explicit formula for the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of certain 2-dimensional polyhedra in terms of invariants of surface quotient singularities. Also, a formula for the dimension of the space of quasi-homogeneous…
We determine the number of labelled chordal planar graphs with $n$ vertices, which is asymptotically $c_1\cdot n^{-5/2} \gamma^n n!$ for a constant $c_1>0$ and $\gamma \approx 11.89235$. We also determine the number of rooted simple chordal…
An edge cut $C$ of a graph $G$ is {\it tight} if $|C \cap M|=1$ for every perfect matching $M$ of $G$.~Barrier cuts and 2-separation cuts are called {\it ELP-cuts}, which are two important types of tight cuts in matching covered…
We study the moment maps of a smooth projective toric variety. In particular, we characterize when the moment map coming from the quotient construction is equal to a weighted Fubini-Study moment map. This leads to an investigation into…
A subset of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set if every vertex in $V \setminus S$ has at least one neighbor in $S$. A domatic partition is a partition of the vertices of a graph $G$ into disjoint dominating sets. The domatic…
It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…
We prove that for every $t\in \mathbb{N}$ there is a constant $\gamma_t$ such that every graph with twin-width at most $t$ and clique number $\omega$ has chromatic number bounded by $2^{\gamma_t \log^{4t+3} \omega}$. In other words, we…
We study bipartite maps on the plane with one infinite face and one face of perimeter 2. At first we consider the problem of their enumeration an then study the connection between the combinatorial structure of a map and the degree of its…
A weighted bicolored plane tree is a bicolored plane tree whose edges are endowed with positive integral weights. The degree of a vertex is defined as the sum of the weights of the edges incident to this vertex. Using the theory of dessins…
Let $D$ be the set of $n\times n$ positive semidefinite matrices of trace equal to one, also known as the set of density matrices. We prove two results on the hardness of approximating $D$ with polytopes. First, we show that if $0 <…
Thin coverings are a method of constructing graded-simple modules from simple (ungraded) modules. After a general discussion, we classify the thin coverings of (quasifinite) simple modules over associative algebras graded by finite abelian…
In this paper we present several formulae for computing the partial degrees of the defining polynomial of the offset curve to an irreducible affine plane curve given implicitly, and we see how these formulae particularize to the case of…
An almost-toric hypersurface is parameterized by monomials multiplied by polynomials in one extra variable. We determine the Newton polytope of such a hypersurface, and apply this to give an algorithm for computing the implicit equation.
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph with $n$ vertices then a set partition $\pi=\{V_1, ..., V_k\}$ of the vertex set of $G$ is a connected set partition if each subgraph $G[V_j]$ induced by the blocks $V_j$ of $\pi$ is connected for…
