The Fibonacci numbers are familiar to all of us. They appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much there is an entire journal and a sequence of conferences dedicated to their study. However, there is also another sequence of numbers…
In this paper, the concept of cyclic subsets in graph theory is introduced. An interesting theorem which relates to the collective Hamiltonicity of these cyclic subsets in graphs is also presented. This paper uses this theorem to construct…
In this paper, we study the distribution of parallelograms and rhombi in a given set in the plane over arbitrary finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q^2$. As an application, we improve a recent result due to Fitzpatrick, Iosevich, McDonald, and Wyman…
The present contribution is the written counterpart of a talk given in Yerevan at the SQS'2019 International Workshop "Supersymmetries and Quantum Symmetries" (SQS'2019, 26 August - August 31, 2019). After a short presentation of various…
Data consisting of a graph with a function mapping into $\mathbb{R}^d$ arise in many data applications, encompassing structures such as Reeb graphs, geometric graphs, and knot embeddings. As such, the ability to compare and cluster such…
In this paper, we construct families of polynomials defined by recurrence relations related to mean-zero random walks. We show these families of polynomials can be used to approximate $z^n$ by a polynomial of degree $\sim \sqrt{n}$ in…
The generating function that records the sizes of directed circuit partitions of a connected 2-in, 2-out digraph D can be determined from the interlacement graph of D with respect to a directed Euler circuit; the same is true of the…
We give new identities for some symmetric polynomials. As applications of these identities, we obtain some formulas for a higher order analogue of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.
We introduce a graph structure on Euclidean polytopes. The vertices of this graph are the $d$-dimensional polytopes contained in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and its edges connect any two polytopes that can be obtained from one another by either…
Distance-hereditary graphs form an important class of graphs, from the theoretical point of view, due to the fact that they are the totally decomposable graphs for the split-decomposition. The previous best enumerative result for these…
The main contribution of this paper is a formula for the number of acyclic orientations of a complete bipartite, $K_{n_1,n_2},$ revealing that it is equal to the poly-Bernoulli number $B_{n_1}^{(-n_2)}$ introduced in 1997 by Kaneko. We also…
It is a classical result due to Jacobi in algebraic combinatorics that the generating function of closed walks at a vertex $u$ in a graph $G$ is determined by the rational function \[ \frac{\phi_{G-u}(t)}{\phi_G(t)} \] where $\phi_G(t)$ is…
Lin-Lu-Yau introduced an interesting notion of Ricci curvature for graphs and obtained a complete characterization for all Ricci-flat graphs with girth at least five [1]. In this paper, we propose a concrete approach to construct an…
We study the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and demonstrate how identities can be constructed by investigating trivalent graphs and splitting fields.
Studying the isotropy orbits of compact symmetric spaces Reiswich introduced a family of explicit polynomials in one variable in order to describe the unique minimal isotropy orbit of compact symmetric spaces with Dynkin diagram of type…
The median of a set of vertices $P$ of a graph $G$ is the set of all vertices $x$ of $G$ minimizing the sum of distances from $x$ to all vertices of $P$. In this paper, we present a linear time algorithm to compute medians in median graphs,…
The concept of directed strongly regular graphs was introduced by Duval in his paper, A Directed Graph Version of Strongly Regular Graphs. Duval also provided several construction methods for directed strongly regular graphs. The directed…
We introduce the concept of $\D$-operators associated to a sequence of polynomials $(p_n)_n$ and an algebra $\A$ of operators acting in the linear space of polynomials. In this paper, we show that this concept is a powerful tool to generate…
In this short note we study two questions about the existence of subgraphs of the hypercube $Q_n$ with certain properties. The first question, due to Erd\H{o}s--Hamburger--Pippert--Weakley, asks whether there exists a bounded degree…
The optimal cube factor of a graph, a special kind of component factor, is first introduced. Furthermore, the optimal cube factors of Fibonacci and matchable Lucas cubes are studied; and some results on the Padovan sequence and binomial…
