A problem proposed by Erd\H{o}s, Fajtlowicz and Staton asks for the smallest $n$ for which every graph on $n$ vertices contains a regular induced subgraph of order at least $k$. A variation is to ask for a regular induced subgraph of order…

We study the query complexity of finding a Tarski fixed point over the $k$-dimensional grid $\{1,\ldots,n\}^k$. Improving on the previous best upper bound of $\smash{O(\log^{\lceil 2k/3\rceil} n)}$ [FPS20], we give a new algorithm with…

This paper studies the problem of reconstructing binary matrices that are only accessible through few evaluations of their discrete X-rays. Such question is prominently motivated by the demand in material science for developing a tool for…

What is the smallest number of pieces that you can cut an n-sided regular polygon into so that the pieces can be rearranged to form a rectangle? Call it r(n). The rectangle may have any proportions you wish, as long as it is a rectangle.…

The sequence reconstruction problem asks for the recovery of a sequence from multiple noisy copies, where each copy may contain up to $r$ errors. In the case of permutations on \(n\) letters under the Hamming metric, this problem is closely…

We consider submodular function minimization in the oracle model: given black-box access to a submodular set function $f:2^{[n]}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, find an element of $\arg\min_S \{f(S)\}$ using as few queries to $f(\cdot)$ as…

We prove a minimum degree version of the Kruskal--Katona theorem: given $d\ge 1/4$ and a triple system $F$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $d\binom n2$, we obtain asymptotically tight lower bounds for the size of its shadow.…

We study the minimal complexity of tilings of a plane with a given tile set. We note that every tile set admits either no tiling or some tiling with O(n) Kolmogorov complexity of its n-by-n squares. We construct tile sets for which this…

In this article, we consider a generalization of Young tableaux in which we allow some consecutive pairs of cells with decreasing labels. We show that this leads to a rich variety of combinatorial formulas, which suggest that these new…

Given a database, a common problem is to find the pairs or $k$-tuples of items that frequently co-occur. One specific problem is to create a small space "sketch" of the data that records which $k$-tuples appear in more than an $\epsilon$…

This paper introduces a novel algorithm to approximate the matrix with minimum nuclear norm among all matrices obeying a set of convex constraints. This problem may be understood as the convex relaxation of a rank minimization problem, and…

A modified $k$-deck of a graph $G$ is obtained by removing $k$ edges of $G$ in all possible ways, and adding $k$ (not necessarily new) edges in all possible ways. Krasikov and Roditty asked if it was possible to construct the usual $k$-edge…

Given two vectors $u$ and $v$, their outer sum is given by the matrix $A$ with entries $A_{ij} = u_{i} + v_{j}$. If the entries of $u$ and $v$ are increasing and sufficiently generic, the total ordering of the entries of the matrix is a…

Let $SYT_{n}$ be the set of all standard Young tableaux with $n$ cells and $\leq_{weak}$ be Melnikov's the weak order on $SYT_n$. The aim of this paper is to introduce a conjecture, called the {\it property of inner tableau translation} and…

Let $T\subset \R^{m+1}$ be a strictly convex domain bounded by a smooth hypersurface $X=\partial T$. In this paper we find lower bounds on the number of billiard trajectories in $T$ which have a prescribed intial point $A\in X$, a…

Let $g_{n_1,n_2}$ be the number of standard Young tableau of truncated shifted shape with $n_1$ rows and $n_2$ boxes in each row. By using of the integral method this paper derives the recurrence relations of $g_{3,n}$, $g_{n,4}$ and…

Given two $k$-independent sets $I$ and $J$ of a graph $G$, one can ask if it is possible to transform the one into the other in such a way that, at any step, we replace one vertex of the current independent set by another while keeping the…

We provide a new lower bound on the number of $(\leq k)$-edges of a set of $n$ points in the plane in general position. We show that for $0 \leq k \leq\lfloor\frac{n-2}{2}\rfloor$ the number of $(\leq k)$-edges is at least $$ E_k(S) \geq…

The following hypothesis was put forward by Goreinov, Tyrtyshnikov and Zamarashkin in \cite{GTZ1997}. For arbitrary real $n \times k$ matrix with orthonormal columns a sufficiently "good" $k \times k$ submatrix exists. "Good" in the sense…

We revisit the problem of counting the number of copies of a fixed graph in a random graph or multigraph, including the case of constrained degrees. Our approach relies heavily on analytic combinatorics and on the notion of patchwork to…
