We characterize compatible families of real-rooted polynomials, allowing both positive and negative leading coefficients. Our characterization naturally generalizes the same-sign characterization used by Chudnovsky and Seymour in their…

A signed graph is a graph together with an assignment of signs to the edges. A closed walk in a signed graph is said to be positive (negative) if it has an even (odd) number of negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing the signs of…

We formalize the notion of limit of an inverse system of metric spaces with $1$-Lipschitz projections having unbounded fibers. The purpose is to use sub-Riemannian groups for metrizing the space of signatures of rectifiable paths in…

In a recent paper, the first author proved the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matroid realizable over a field of characteristic 0, answering a long-standing conjecture of Read in graph theory. We…

Recently, Choi and Park introduced an invariant of a finite simple graph, called signed a-number, arising from computing certain topological invariants of some specific kinds of real toric manifolds. They also found the signed a-numbers of…

In this work we establish a connection between copositivity, that is, nonnegativity on the positive orthant, of sparse real Laurent polynomials and discriminants. Specifically, we consider Laurent polynomials in the positive orthant with…

The matching polynomial of a graph is the generating function of the numbers of its matchings with respect to their cardinality. A graph polynomial is polynomial reconstructible, if its value for a graph can be determined from its values…

A family of plane oriented continuous paths depending on a fixed real positive number $R$ is considered. For any point $x$ on the path, the previous points lie out of any circle of radius $R$ having at $x$ interior normal in a suitable…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled positive or negative. The sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. Zaslavsky proved in 2012 that, up to switching isomorphism, there are six different signed Petersen…

Let $F: C^n \rightarrow C^m$ be a polynomial map with $degF=d \geq 2$. We prove that $F$ is invertible if $m = n$ and $\sum^{d-1}_{i=1} JF(\alpha_i)$ is invertible for all $i$, which is trivially the case for invertible quadratic maps. More…

The restoration lemma is a classic result by Afek, Bremler-Barr, Kaplan, Cohen, and Merritt [PODC '01], which relates the structure of shortest paths in a graph $G$ before and after some edges in the graph fail. Their work shows that, after…
