This is a 1971 dissertation. Only its extended abstract was published at the time. While some results appeared in other publications, a number of details remained unpublished and may still have relevance.

We give explicit formulas enumerating 4-regular labelled and unlabelled one-face maps.

Last two decades, the problem of robotic mapping has made a lot of progress in the research community. However, since the data provided by the sensor still contains noise, how to obtain an accurate map is still an open problem. In this…

These are notes from the 2003 C.I.M.E. summer school "symplectic 4-manifolds and algebraic surfaces". They cover the same material as the author's (by now ancient) Ph.D. thesis.

For each integer $\ell \geq 4$, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a graph contains an induced cycle with length at least $\ell$ and even

Given linear spaces $E$ and $F$ over the real numbers or a field of characteristic zero, a simple argument is given to represent a symmetric multilinear map $u(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)$ from $E^n$ to $F$ in terms of its restriction to the…

We illustrate the use of the notion of derived recurrences introduced earlier to evaluate the algebraic entropy of self-maps of projective spaces. We in particular give an example, where a complete proof is still awaited, but where…

This is the fourth article in the collection of reviews "Exact results on N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories", ed. J.Teschner. It describes a very useful mathematical representation of the results of the localisation computations of…

In this paper, we propose a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a given graph contains a subdivision of $K_4$ as an induced subgraph.

In 1826 Cauchy presented an Integral over the real line. Al and I thought a derivation would be mighty fine. So we packed our contour integral bags that day, and we now present an analytic continuation this time.

In this paper, we describe a representation for spatial information, called the stochastic map, and associated procedures for building it, reading information from it, and revising it incrementally as new information is obtained. The map…

The purpose of this note is to explain what is "analytical history", a modular and testable analysis of historical events introduced in a book published in 2002 (Roehner and Syme 2002). Broadly speaking, it is a comparative methodology for…

This paper looks at Turing's postulations about Artificial Intelligence in his paper 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence', published in 1950. It notes how accurate they were and how relevant they still are today. This paper notes the…

Back in the Eighties, Heath showed that every 3-planar graph is subhamiltonian and asked whether this result can be extended to a class of graphs of degree greater than three. In this paper we affirmatively answer this question for the…

This is the talk given at the Symposium "Thirty Years of Supersymmetry", October 13-15, 2000, Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Minnesota. The history of construction of the first supersymmetric field theory in four dimensions…

This is a survey of the twistor lifts of surfaces in $4$-dimensional spaces. In most part of this survey, the space is Euclidean $4$-space $E^4$. The definitions of the Gauss maps and the twistor lifts of surfaces in $E^4$ are given by…

We investigate the dynamics of maps of the real line whose behavior on an invariant interval is close to a rational rotation on the circle. We concentrate on a specific two-parameter family, describing the dynamics arising from models in…

We study a game of pursuit and evasion introduced by Seager in 2012, in which a cop searches the robber from outside the graph, using distance queries. A graph on which the cop wins is called locatable. In her original paper, Seager asked…

We analyze the accuracy and the origin of a fourth root approximation that appeared in the 1886 Mathematical Tripos.

This work numerically examines the temporal and spectral properties of a quadratic map. The quadratic map described in this study has quadratic non-linearity, and its theoretical analysis poses a challenge. Additionally, this map can be…
