A subset $S$ of vertices in a planar graph $G$ is a free set if, for every set $P$ of $|S|$ points in the plane, there exists a straight-line crossing-free drawing of $G$ in which vertices of $S$ are mapped to distinct points in $P$. In…
Regular hypermaps with underlying simple hypergraphs are analysed. We obtain an algorithm to classify the regular embeddings of simple hypergraphs with given order, and determine the automorphism groups of regular embedding of simple…
A 1-planar graph is a graph which has a drawing on the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. If a 1-planar graph is drawn in that way, the drawing is called a {\it 1-plane graph}. A graph is maximal 1-plane (or 1-planar) if no…
The chapter presents mathematical models intended for creating a topological drawing of a non-separable non-planar graph based on the methods of G. Ringel's vertex rotation theory. The induced system of cycles generates a topological…
We study Pythagorean hyperplane arrangements, originally defined by Zaslavsky. In this first part of a series on such arrangements, we introduce a new notion of genericity for such arrangements. Using this notion we construct an auxiliary…
A perfect matching in a hypergraph is a set of edges that partition the set of vertices. We study the complexity of deciding the existence of a perfect matching in orderable and separable hypergraphs. We show that the class of orderable…
A hypergraph is called an r by r grid if it is isomorphic to a pattern of r horizontal and r vertical lines. Three sets form a triangle if they pairwise intersect in three distinct singletons. A hypergraph is linear if every pair of edges…
We investigate several topological and combinatorial properties of line arrangements. We associate to a line arrangement a link obtained by intersecting the arrangement with some sphere. Several topics are discussed: (a) some link…
Given a hypergraph $H$, the Planar Support problem asks whether there is a planar graph $G$ on the same vertex set as $H$ such that each hyperedge induces a connected subgraph of $G$. Planar Support is motivated by applications in graph…
We study the hyperplane arrangements associated, via the minimal model programme, to symplectic quotient singularities. We show that this hyperplane arrangement equals the arrangement of CM-hyperplanes coming from the representation theory…
We consider high-order connectivity in $k$-uniform hypergraphs defined as follows: Two $j$-sets are $j$-connected if there is a walk of edges between them such that two consecutive edges intersect in at least $j$ vertices. We describe the…
Given a set of points in the plane, we want to establish a connection network between these points that consists of several disjoint layers. Motivated by sensor networks, we want that each layer is spanning and plane, and that no edge is…
To every affine real arrangement of hyperplanes we associate a family of diagrams of spaces over the face poset of the arrangement. We show that any cover of the complement of the complexification of the arrangement is homotopy equivalent…
For planar graphs, it is well known that high connectivity implies a Hamiltonian cycle and hence any 4-connected planar graph has a near-perfect matching. Nevertheless, whether 6-connected 1-planar graphs admit near-perfect matchings…
In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…
Let $\mathcal {F}$ be a given family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathcal {F}$-free if it does not contain any member of $\mathcal {F}$ as a subgraph. Let $C_{l, l}$ be a graph obtained from $2C_l$ such that the two cycles share a common…
Each irreducible component of the first resonance variety of a hyperplane arrangement naturally determines a codimension one foliation on the ambient space. The superposition of these foliations define what we call the resonance web of the…
The Lefschetz hyperplane section theorem asserts that an affine variety is homotopy equivalent to a space obtained from its generic hyperplane section by attaching some cells. The purpose of this paper is to describe attaching maps of these…
Highly-regular graphs can be regarded as a combinatorial generalization of distance-regular graphs. From this standpoint, we study combinatorial aspects of highly-regular graphs. As a result, we give the following three main results in this…
In the present paper, we study conic-line arrangements having nodes, tacnodes, and ordinary triple points as singularities. We provide combinatorial constraints on such arrangements and we give the complete classification of free…
