The Union Closed Sets Conjecture is one of the most renowned problems in combinatorics. Its appeal lies in the simplicity of its statement contrasted with the potential complexity of its resolution. The conjecture posits that, in any union…
Let $G$ be a finite group. A number of graphs with the vertex set $G$ have been studied, including the power graph, enhanced power graph, and commuting graph. These graphs form a hierarchy under the inclusion of edge sets, and it is useful…
Forbidden characterizations may sometimes be the most natural way to describe families of graphs, and yet these characterizations are usually very hard to exploit for enumerative purposes. By building on the work of Gioan and Paul (2012)…
An arithmetical structure on a graph is given by a labeling of the vertices which satisfies certain divisibility properties. In this note, we look at several families of graphs and attempt to give counts on the number of arithmetical…
In this paper, we first introduce the new class of vertically-recurrent matrices, using a generalization of "the Hockey stick and Puck theorem" in Pascal's triangle. Then, we give an interesting formula for the lower triangular…
We prove geometric and scaling results for the real Fibonacci parameter value in the quadratic family $f_c(z) = z^2+c$. The principal nest of the Yoccoz parapuzzle pieces has rescaled asymptotic geometry equal to the filled-in Julia set of…
We apply some basic notions from combinatorial topology to establish various algebraic properties of edge ideals of graphs and more general Stanley-Reisner rings. In this way we provide new short proofs of some theorems from the literature…
We introduce the notion of Fibonacci and Lucas derivations of the polynomial algebras and prove that any element of kernel of the derivations defines a polynomial identity for the Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials. Also, we prove that any…
The following article is an application of commutative algebra to the study of multiparameter persistent homology in topological data analysis. In particular, the theory of finite free resolutions of modules over polynomial rings is applied…
We construct explicity the automorphism group of the folded hypercube $FQ_n$ of dimension $n>3$, as a semidirect product of $N$ by $M$, where $N$ is isomorphic to the Abelian group $Z_2^n$, and $M$ is isomorphic to $Sym(n+1)$, the symmetric…
This paper aims to construct a new family of numbers and polynomials which are related to the Bell numbers and polynomials by means of the confluent hypergeometric function. We give various properties of these numbers and polynomials…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
For a cubic hypersurface $X$, work of Galkin--Shinder and Voisin shows the existence of a birational map relating the Hilbert scheme of two points $X^{[2]}$ with a certain projective bundle over $X$. Belmans--Fu--Raedschelders show that…
The article studies power complexes and generalized power complexes, and investigates the algebraic structure of their automorphism groups. The combinatorial incidence structures involved are cube-like, in the sense that they have many…
We derive several identities for arbitrary homogeneous second order recurrence sequences with constant coefficients. The results are then applied to present a unified study of six well known integer sequences, namely the Fibonacci sequence,…
Cubic invariants for two-dimensional degenerate Hamiltonian systems are considered by using variables of separation of the associated St\"ackel problems with quadratic integrals of motion. For the superintegrable St\"ackel systems the cubic…
We generalize the concept of token graphs to obtain supertoken graphs. In the latter case, there can be more than one token in a vertex. We formally define supertoken graphs and establish their basic properties. Moreover, we provide some…
In this paper we study and compare two homology theories for (simple and undirected) graphs. The first, which was developed by Barcelo, Caprano, and White, is based on graph maps from hypercubes to the graph. The second theory was developed…
We introduce a family of graphs, which we call down-left graphs, and study their combinatorial and algebraic properties. We show that members of this family are well-covered, $C_5$-free, and vertex decomposable. By applying a result of…
A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…
