A hypergraph $H=(V,E)$, where $V=\{x_1,...,x_n\}$ and $E\subseteq 2^V$ defines a hypergraph algebra $R_H=k[x_1,...,x_n]/(x_{i_1}... x_{i_k}; \{i_1,...,i_k\}\in E)$. All our hypergraphs are $d$-uniform, i.e., $|e_i|=d$ for all $e_i\in E$. We…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. Let $w$ be a positive integer. A $w$-dominating set is a vertex subset $S$ such that for all $v\in V$, either $v\in S$ or it has at least $w$ neighbors in $S$. The $w$-Dominating Set problem is to find the minimum…

It has been proved by Boros and Makino that there is no output-polynomial-time algorithm enumerating the minimal redundant sets or the maximal irredundant sets of a hypergraph, unless P=NP. The same question was left open for graphs, with…

A matching in a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is a set of pairwise disjoint hyperedges. The matching number $\nu(\mathcal{H})$ of $\mathcal{H}$ is the size of a maximum matching in $\mathcal{H}$. A subset $D$ of vertices of $\mathcal{H}$ is a…

We define and study when a polynomial mapping has a local or global time average. We conjecture that a polynomial f in the complex plane has a time average near a point z if and only if z is eventually mapped into a Siegel-disc of f. We…

In the Hedge Cut problem, the edges of a graph are partitioned into groups called hedges, and the question is what is the minimum number of hedges to delete to disconnect the graph. Ghaffari, Karger, and Panigrahi [SODA 2017] showed that…

We prove that a sumset of a TE subset of (\N) (these sets can be viewed as "aperiodic" sets) with a set of positive upper density intersects a set of values of any polynomial with integer coefficients., i.e. for any (A \subset \N ) a TE…

Subgraph counting is a fundamental and well-studied problem whose computational complexity is well understood. Quite surprisingly, the hypergraph version of subgraph counting has been almost ignored. In this work, we address this gap by…

Oftentimes the elements of a ring or semigroup $H$ can be written as finite products of irreducible elements, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k = v_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot v_{\ell}$, where the number of irreducible factors is distinct. The set…

Finding inclusion-minimal "hitting sets" for a given collection of sets is a fundamental combinatorial problem with applications in domains as diverse as Boolean algebra, computational biology, and data mining. Much of the algorithmic…

Subgraph enumeration problems ask to output all subgraphs of an input graph that belongs to the specified graph class or satisfy the given constraint. These problems have been widely studied in theoretical computer science. As far, many…

A hypergraph ${\cal F}$ is a set family defined on vertex set $V$. The dual of ${\cal F}$ is the set of minimal subsets $H$ of $V$ such that $F\cap H \ne \emptyset$ for any $F\in {\cal F}$. The computation of the dual is equivalent to many…

We give a fine-grained classification of evaluating the Tutte polynomial $T(G;x,y)$ on all integer points on graphs with small treewidth and cutwidth. Specifically, we show for any point $(x,y) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ that either - can be…

The transversal rank of a hypergraph is the maximum size of its minimal hitting sets. Deciding, for an $n$-vertex, $m$-edge hypergraph and an integer $k$, whether the transversal rank is at least $k$ takes time $O(m^{k+1} n)$ with an…

Subdividing an edge $uv$ in a graph replaces it by a path $u w v$ with one new vertex. For a graph $H$, the \textsc{$H$-free Subdivision} problem asks whether, given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, one can destroy all induced copies of $H$…

Multi-homogeneous polynomial systems arise in many applications. We provide bit complexity estimates for solving them which, up to a few extra other factors, are quadratic in the number of solutions and linear in the height of the input…
