A vertex subset of a graph is called a distance-$k$ independent set if the distance between any two of its distinct vertices is at least $k + 1$. For all $n,k \geq 1$, we determine the minimum possible number of inclusion-wise maximal…
Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional Alexandrov space with curvature $\geq 1$, and let $\{q_1,\cdots,q_k\}$ be any $\frac\pi2$-separated subset in $M$ (i.e. the distance $|q_iq_j|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$ for any $i\neq j$). Under the additional…
This paper provides new constructions and lower bounds for subspace codes, using Ferrers diagram rank-metric codes from matchings of the complete graph and pending blocks. We present different constructions for constant dimension codes with…
A set of lines through the origin is called equiangular if every pair of lines defines the same angle, and the maximum size of an equiangular set of lines in $\mathbb{R}^n$ was studied extensively for the last 70 years. In this paper, we…
The threshold-$k$ metric dimension ($\mathrm{Tmd}_k$) of a graph is the minimum number of sensors -- a subset of the vertex set -- needed to uniquely identify any vertex in the graph, solely based on its distances from the sensors, when the…
A basic problem for the constant dimension subspace coding is to determine the maximal possible size A_q (n, d, k) of a set of k-dimensional subspaces in Fnq such that the subspace distance satisfies d(U, V )> or =d for any two different…
This paper shows that, for any integers $n$ and $k$ with $0\leqslant k \leqslant n-2$, at least $(k+1)!(n-k-1)$ vertices or edges have to be removed from an $n$-dimensional star graph to make it disconnected and no vertices of degree less…
In this paper we address the problem of computing a sparse subgraph of a weighted directed graph such that the exact distances from a designated source vertex to all other vertices are preserved under bounded weight increment. Finding a…
In this work we study arrangements of $k$-dimensional subspaces $V_1,\ldots,V_n \subset \mathbb{C}^\ell$. Our main result shows that, if every pair $V_{a},V_b$ of subspaces is contained in a dependent triple (a triple $V_{a},V_b,V_c$…
Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…
A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-subspace choosable over a field $\mathbb{F}$ if for every assignment of $k$-dimensional subspaces of some finite-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}$ to the vertices of $G$, it is possible to choose for…
Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…
We show that a $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices has a spanning subgraph homeomorphic to the $(k - 1)$-dimensional sphere provided that $H$ has no isolated vertices and each set of $k - 1$ vertices supported by an edge is contained in…
We consider the problem of finding small distance-preserving subgraphs of undirected, unweighted interval graphs with $k$ terminal vertices. To start with, we show that finding an optimal distance-preserving subgraph is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard…
The $k$-expansion of a graph $G$ is the $k$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by adding $k-2$ new vertices to every edge. We determine, for all $k > d \geq 1$, asymptotically optimal $d$-degree conditions that ensure the existence of all…
Given a 2-edge-coloring $f : E(K_n) \rightarrow \{\pm 1\}$, the discrepancy of a subgraph $F \subseteq K_n$ is defined as $\left| \sum_{e \in E(F)} f(e) \right|$. Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Loebl and S\'os showed that if $F$ is an $n$-vertex tree…
A problem originating with Erd\H{o}s and Silverman in the 1970s asks for the minimum integer $r(k)$ such that any set of $n \ge r(k)$ points in the plane has some $k$-subset with no right angles. The case $k=4$ has an interesting gap…
The separation dimension of a graph $G$ is the smallest natural number $k$ for which the vertices of $G$ can be embedded in $\mathbb{R}^k$ such that any pair of disjoint edges in $G$ can be separated by a hyperplane normal to one of the…
We give the first almost-linear time algorithm for computing the \emph{maximal $k$-edge-connected subgraphs} of an undirected unweighted graph for any constant $k$. More specifically, given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G=(V,E)$ and a…
