We study families of axis-aligned boxes in a $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ whose placement is restricted by bounds on the dimension of their pairwise intersections. More specifically, two such boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are…
A family of axis-aligned boxes in $\er^d$ is \emph{$k$-neighborly} if the intersection of every two of them has dimension at least $d-k$ and at most $d-1$. Let $n(k,d)$ denote the maximum size of such a family. It is known that $n(k,d)$ can…
A finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of $d$-dimensional convex polytopes is called $k$-neighborly if $d-k\le\textup{dim}(C\cap C')\le d-1$ for any two distinct members $C,C'\in\mathcal{F}$. In 1997, Alon initiated the study of the general function…
We give essentially tight bounds for, $\nu(d,k)$, the maximum number of distinct neighbourhoods on a set $X$ of $k$ vertices in a graph with twin-width at most~$d$. Using the celebrated Marcus-Tardos theorem, two independent works [Bonnet…
A combinatorial theorem on families of disjoint sub-boxes of a discrete cube, which implies that there at most $2^{d+1}-2$ neighbourly simplices in $\mathbb R^d$, is presented.
Two $d$-dimensional simplices in $R^d$ are neighborly if its intersection is a $(d-1)$-dimensional set. A family of $d$-dimensional simplices in $R^d$ is called neighborly if every two simplices of the family are neighborly. Let $S_d$ be…
We prove the following theorem, which is related to McMullen's problem on projective transformations of polytopes; let $2\leq k\leq \lfloor{\frac{d}{2}}\rfloor$ and $\nu{(d, k)}$ be the largest number such that any set of $\nu{(d,k)}$…
Let $K$ be a set of $k$ positive integers. A biclique cover of type $K$ of a graph $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ such that for every edge $e$ of $G$, the number of bicliques need to cover $e$ is a member of $K$.…
An axis-parallel $d$-dimensional box is a cartesian product $I_1\times I_2\times \dots \times I_b$ where $I_i$ is a closed sub-interval of the real line. For a graph $G = (V,E)$, the $boxicity \ of \ G$, denoted by $\text{box}(G)$, is the…
The main purpose of this paper is to study extremal results on the intersection graphs of boxes in $\R^d$. We calculate exactly the maximal number of intersecting pairs in a family $\F$ of $n$ boxes in $\R^d$ with the property that no $k+1$…
A partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a $(k,\varepsilon)$-secluded partition if, for every $\vec{p} \in \mathbb{R}^d$, the ball $\overline{B}_{\infty}(\varepsilon, \vec{p})$ intersects at most $k$ members of $\mathcal{P}$. A…
For a set of n points in the plane, we consider the axis--aligned (p,k)-Box Covering problem: Find p axis-aligned, pairwise-disjoint boxes that together contain n-k points. In this paper, we consider the boxes to be either squares or…
Neighborly cubical polytopes exist: for any $n\ge d\ge 2r+2$, there is a cubical convex d-polytope $C^n_d$ whose $r$-skeleton is combinatorially equivalent to that of the $n$-dimensional cube. This solves a problem of Babson, Billera &…
We prove a combinatorial theorem on families of disjoint sub-boxes of a discrete cube, which implies that there are at most $2^{d+1}-2$ nearly neighbourly simplices in $\mathbb R^d$.
The notion of $(k,m)$-agreeable society was introduced by Deborah Berg et al.: a family of convex subsets of $\R^d$ is called $(k,m)$-agreeable if any subfamily of size $m$ contains at least one non-empty $k$-fold intersection. In that…
We show that for fixed $d>3$ and $n$ growing to infinity there are at least $(n!)^{d-2 \pm o(1)}$ different labeled combinatorial types of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices. This is about the square of the previous best lower bounds. As an…
We show that there exist k-neighborly centrally symmetric d-dimensional polytopes with 2(n+d) vertices, where k(d,n)=Theta(d/(1+log ((d+n)/d))). We also show that this bound is tight.
Let $C_{d,k}$ be the largest number of vertices in a Cayley digraph of degree $d$ and diameter $k$, and let $BC_{d,k}$ be the largest order of a bipartite Cayley digraph for given $d$ and $k$. For every degree $d\geq2$ and for every odd $k$…
Let $B$ be a set of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that each box has a corner at the origin and the other corner in the positive quadrant of $\mathbb{R}^d$, and let $k$ be a positive integer. We study the problem of…
Let $k$ be a nonnegative integer. In the approximate $k$-flat nearest neighbor ($k$-ANN) problem, we are given a set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of $n$ points in $d$-dimensional space and a fixed approximation factor $c > 1$. Our goal is to…
