We present a new structure theorem for finite fields of odd order that relates multiplicative and additive structure in an interesting way. This theorem has several applications, including an improved understanding of Dickson and Chebyshev…
We study Hamiltonian paths and cycles in undirected graphs from an operadic viewpoint. We show that the graphical collection $\mathsf{Ham}$ encoding directed Hamiltonian paths in connected graphs admits an operad-like structure, called a…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a decomposition of a complete multigraph into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths, or into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths and a perfect matching.
We consider the problem of deforming simultaneously a pair of given structures. We show that such deformations are governed by an L-infinity algebra, which we construct explicitly. Our machinery is based on Th. Voronov's derived bracket…
An important property of chordal graphs is that these graphs are characterized by existence of perfect elimination orderings on their vertex sets. In this paper, we generalize the notion of perfect elimination orderings to signed graphs,…
Tree decompositions of graphs are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. Planar decompositions generalise tree decompositions by allowing an arbitrary planar graph to index the decomposition. We prove that…
The guessing number of a directed graph (digraph), equivalent to the entropy of that digraph, was introduced as a direct criterion on the solvability of a network coding instance. This paper makes two contributions on the guessing number.…
We discuss here geometric structures of condensed matters by means of a fundamental topological method. Any geometric pattern can be universally represented by a decomposition space of a topological space consisting of the infinite product…
We generalize the idea of cofinite groups, due to B. Hartley. First we define cofinite spaces in general. Then, as a special situation, we study cofinite graphs and their uniform completions. The idea of constructing a cofinite graph starts…
We study arc graphs and curve graphs for surfaces of infinite topological type. First, we define an arc graph relative to a finite number of (isolated) punctures and prove that it is a connected, uniformly hyperbolic graph of infinite…
We give a descriptive construction of trees for multi-ended graphs, which yields yet another proof of Stallings' theorem on ends of groups. Even though our proof is, in principle, not very different from already existing proofs and it draws…
A relational structure R is ultrahomogeneous if every isomorphism of finite induced substructures of R extends to an automorphism of R. We classify the ultrahomogeneous finite binary relational structures with one asymmetric binary relation…
In this paper we employ Tutte's theory of bridges to derive a decomposition theorem for binary matroids arising from signed graphs. The proposed decomposition differs from previous decomposition results on matroids that have appeared in the…
In this paper we continue the study of edge-colored graphs associated with finite idempotent algebras initiated in arXiv:2006.09599. We prove stronger connectivity properties of such graphs that will allows us to demonstrate several useful…
We introduce a new operad-like structure that we call a reconnectad; the ``input'' of an element of a reconnectad is a finite simple graph, rather than a finite set, and ``compositions'' of elements are performed according to the notion of…
In matching theory, one of the most fundamental and classical branches of combinatorics, {\em canonical decompositions} of graphs are powerful and versatile tools that form the basis of this theory. However, the abilities of the known…
An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that extends the concept of a signed graph. We introduce hypergraphic structures and techniques central to the extension of the circuit classification of signed graphs to oriented…
We offer a new structural basis for the theory of 3-connected graphs, providing a unique decomposition of every such graph into parts that are either quasi 4-connected, wheels, or thickened $K_{3,m}$'s. Our construction is explicit,…
In this paper we introduce a general framework for the study of limits of relational structures in general and graphs in particular, which is based on a combination of model theory and (functional) analysis. We show how the various…
We show that a sufficiently large graph of bounded degree can be decomposed into quasi-homogeneous pieces. The result can be viewed as a "finitarization" of the classical Farrell-Varadarajan Ergodic Decomposition Theorem.
