To a finite, connected, unoriented graph of Betti-number g>=2 and valencies >=3 we associate a finitely summable, commutative spectral triple (in the sense of Connes), whose induced zeta functions encode the graph. This gives another…

Let $I=(a,b)\times(c,d)\subset {\mathbb R}_{+}^2$ be an index set and let $\{G_{\alpha}(x) \}_{\alpha \in I}$ be a collection of Gaussian functions, i.e. $G_{\alpha}(x) = \exp(-\alpha_1 x_1^2 - \alpha_2 x_2^2)$, where $\alpha = (\alpha_1,…

We present a new regularisation of Euclidean Einstein gravity in terms of (sequences of) graphs. In particular, we define a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action that converges to its manifold counterpart on sufficiently dense random geometric…

In this paper, we consider an extended Kazakov-Migdal model defined on an arbitrary graph. The partition function of the model, which is expressed as the summation of all Wilson loops on the graph, turns out to be represented by the…

For a planar directed graph G, Postnikov's boundary measurement map sends positive weight functions on the edges of G onto the appropriate totally nonnegative Grassmann cell. We establish an explicit formula for Postnikov's map by…

We study a family of positive weighted well-covered graphs, which we call levelable graphs, that are related to a construction of level artinian rings in commutative algebra. A graph $G$ is levelable if there exists a weight function with…

We describe a new method to compute general cubature formulae. The problem is initially transformed into the computation of truncated Hankel operators with flat extensions. We then analyse the algebraic properties associated to flat…

In this paper, based on the theory of defining sets, a class of four-weight or five-weight linear codes over Fp is constructed. The complete weight enumerators of the linear codes are determined by means of Weil sums. In some case, there is…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of exponent $n$ and let $A$ be a non-empty subset of $[1,n-1]$. The Davenport constant of $G$ with weight $A$, denoted by $D_A(G)$, is defined to be the least positive integer $\ell$ such that any sequence…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function $w$ is defined on its vertices. Then $G$ is $w$-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight.…

We define a new weighted zeta function for a finite digraph and obtain its determinant expression called the Ihara expression. The graph zeta function is a generalization of the weighted graph zeta function introduced in previous research.…

We prove that the fixed point iteration of arbitrary positive concave mappings with nonempty fixed point set converges geometrically for any starting point. We also show that positivity is crucial for this result to hold, and the concept of…

In numerical integration, cubature methods are effective, especially when the integrands can be well-approximated by known test functions, such as polynomials. However, the construction of cubature formulas has not generally been known, and…

With a graph $G=(V,E)$ we associate a collection of non-negative real weights $\cup_{v\in V}{\lambda_{i,v}:1\leq i \leq m} \cup \cup_{uv \in E} {\lambda_{ij,uv}:1\leq i \leq j \leq m}$. We consider the probability distribution on…

This article presents a methodology that automatically derives a combinatorial specification for a permutation class C, given its basis B of excluded patterns and the set of simple permutations in C, when these sets are both finite. This is…

In this article, I introduce a group-theoretical method to prove positivity of certain linear combinations (with coefficients generally lying in $\mathbb{C}$) of exponential functions under a set of semidefinite linear constraints. The…
