The number of stable sets of cardinality $k$ in graph $G$ is the $k$-th coefficient of the independence polynomial of $G$ (I. Gutman and F. Harary, 1983). In 1990, Y. O. Hamidoune proved that for any claw-free graph, its independence…

We study the dependence of a cluster algebra on the choice of coefficients. We write general formulas expressing the cluster variables in any cluster algebra in terms of the initial data; these formulas involve a family of polynomials…

In geometric, algebraic, and topological combinatorics, the unimodality of combinatorial generating polynomials is frequently studied. Unimodality follows when the polynomial is (real) stable, a property often deduced via the theory of…

E. Bayer-Fluckiger gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be realized as the characteristic polynomial of a semisimple isometry of an even unimodular lattice, by describing the local-global obstruction, and the author…

As algebraic semantics of the logic of quantum mechanics there are usually used orthomodular posets, i.e. bounded posets with a complementation which is an antitone involution and where the join of orthogonal elements exists and the…

In this paper, we focus on the study of immanantal polynomials for linear combination matrices composed of the degree matrix and adjacency matrix of a graph. First, applying the concept of vertex orientation for general graphs, we provide a…

We prove that any skew-symmetrizable cluster algebra is unistructural, which is a conjecture by Assem, Schiffler, and Shramchenko. As a corollary, we obtain that a cluster automorphism of a cluster algebra $\mathcal A(\mathcal S)$ is just…

We consider skew-symmetrizable (upper) cluster algebras with a compatible Poisson structure, called $\mathsf{\Lambda}$-(upper) cluster algebras. For any two good elements (e.g., cluster monomials) in a $\mathsf{\Lambda}$-upper cluster…

The set of perfect matchings of a connected bipartite plane graph $G$ has the structure of a distributive lattice, as shown by Propp, where the partial order is induced by the height of a matching. In this article, our focus is the dimer…

We study cluster algebras with principal coefficient systems that are associated to unpunctured surfaces. We give a direct formula for the Laurent polynomial expansion of cluster variables in these cluster algebras in terms of perfect…

We obtain a higher dimensional analogue of a classical theorem which states that a polygonally cellulated $2$-sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, such that each vertex has even degree, is $2$-face-colourable. In order to formulate our result, we…

In this paper we consider the characteristic polynomial of not necessarily ranked posets. We do so by allowing the rank to be an arbitrary function from the poset to the nonnegative integers. We will prove two results showing that the…

For a poset whose Hasse diagram is a rooted plane forest $F$, we consider the corresponding tree descent polynomial $A_F(q)$, which is a generating function of the number of descents of the labelings of $F$. When the forest is a path,…

We study lattice polytopes which arise as the convex hull of chip vectors for \textit{self-reachable} chip configurations on a tree $T$. We show that these polytopes always have the integer decomposition property and characterize the vertex…
