In 1977, Yu. V. Matiyasevich proposed a formula expressing the chromatic polynomial of an arbitrary graph as a linear combination of flow polynomials of subgraphs of the original graph. In this paper, we prove that this representation is a…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
Functional brain graphs are often characterized with separate graph-theoretic or spectral descriptors, overlooking how these properties covary and partially overlap across brains and conditions. We anticipate that dense, weighted functional…
We consider the problem of finding a basis of a matroid with weight exactly equal to a given target. Here weights can be discrete values from $\{-\Delta,\ldots,\Delta\}$ or more generally $m$-dimensional vectors of such discrete values. We…
We show that the groupoids of two directed graphs are isomorphic if and only if the two graphs are orbit equivalent by an orbit equivalence that preserves isolated eventually periodic points. We also give a complete description of the…
It is proved that vertical graphs and radial graphs are strongly stable for a certain type of densities in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$. Particular cases of these densities include translators, expanders and singular minimal…
Given a group $G$ of automorphisms of a matroid $M$, we describe the representations of $G$ on the homology of the independence complex of the dual matroid $M^*$. These representations are related with the homology of the lattice of flats…
We consider the problem of graph matchability in non-identically distributed networks. In a general class of edge-independent networks, we demonstrate that graph matchability can be lost with high probability when matching the networks…
We prove that the set of all paths of a fixed length in a complete multipartite graph is the bases of a matroid. Moreover, we discuss the Cohen-Macaulayness and depth of powers of $t$-path ideals of a complete multipartite graph.
An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that allows for the generalization of graph theoretic concepts to integer matrices through its locally signed graphic substructure. The locally graphic behaviors are formalized in…
Many combinatorial properties of a point set in the plane are determined by the set of possible partitions of the point set by a line. Their essential combinatorial properties are well captured by the axioms of oriented matroids. In fact,…
The theory of matroids has been generalized to oriented matroids and, recently, to arithmetic matroids. We want to give a definition of "oriented arithmetic matroid" and prove some properties like the "uniqueness of orientation".
Let $m,n\ge 2$ be integers. Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $\|\cdot\|_{(p,k)}$ be the $(p,k)$ norm on $M_{mn}$ with $1\leq k\leq mn$ and $2<p<\infty$. We show that a linear map $\phi:M_{mn}\rightarrow M_{mn}$…
Let $U$ be a uniform matroid. For all positive integers $n$ and $r$ with $n \ge r$, what is the maximum number of bases of an $n$-element, rank-$r$ matroid without $U$ as a minor? We show that this question arises by restricting the problem…
We introduce a new representation concept for lattices by boolean matrices, and utilize it to prove that any matroid is boolean representable. We show that such a representation can be easily extracted from a representation of the…
Inspired by Kontsevich's graphic orbifold Euler characteristic we define a virtual Euler characteristic for any finite set of isomorphism classes of matroids of rank $r$. Our main result provides a simple formula for the virtual Euler…
We provide a new axiom system for flag matroids, characterize representability of uniform flag matroids, and give forbidden minor characterizations of full flag matroids that are representable over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and $\mathbb{F}_3$ along…
For an (indefinite) scalar product $[x,y]_B = x^HBy$ for $B= \pm B^H \in Gl_n(\mathbb{C})$ on $\mathbb{C}^n \times \mathbb{C}^n$ we show that the set of diagonalizable matrices is dense in the set of all $B$-selfadjoint, $B$-skewadjoint,…
A hypergraph G with n vertices and m hyperedges with d endpoints each is (k,l)-sparse if for all sub-hypergraphs G' on n' vertices and m' edges, m'\le kn'-l. For integers k and l satisfying 0\le l\le dk-1, this is known to be a linearly…
An embedding of a graph on an orientable surface is orientably-regular (or rotary, in an equivalent terminology) if the group of orientation-preserving automorphisms of the embedding is transitive (and hence regular) on incident vertex-edge…
