Separating hash families are useful combinatorial structures which are generalizations of many well-studied objects in combinatorics, cryptography and coding theory. In this paper, using tools from graph theory and additive number theory,…
For sufficiently nice families of semigroups and monoids, the structure theorem for sets of length states that the length set of any sufficiently large element is an arithmetic sequence with some values omitted near the ends. In this paper,…
The {\em disjointness graph} of a set system is a graph whose vertices are the sets, two being connected by an edge if and only if they are disjoint. It is known that the disjointness graph $G$ of any system of segments in the plane is {\em…
The {\em disjointness graph} $G=G({\cal S})$ of a set of segments ${\cal S}$ in $R^d$, $d\ge 2,$ is a graph whose vertex set is ${\cal S}$ and two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding segments are disjoint. We…
The Blow-up Lemma established by Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi in 1997 is an important tool for the embedding of spanning subgraphs of bounded maximum degree. Here we prove several generalisations of this result concerning the…
The atom-bond sum-connectivity (ABS) index of a graph $G$ with edges $e_1,\cdots,e_m$ is the sum of the numbers $\sqrt{1-2(d_{e_i}+2)^{-1}}$ over $1\le i \le m$, where $d_{e_i}$ is the number of edges adjacent with $e_i$. In this paper, we…
The construction of complementary sets (CSs) of sequences with different set size and sequence length become important due to its practical application for OFDM systems. Most of the constructions of CSs, based on generalized Boolean…
Let $(G,+)$ be an Abelian group. Given $h\in \mathbb{Z}^+$, a non-empty subset $A$ of $G$ is called an $S_h$-set if all the sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$ are different. We extend the concept of $S_h$-set to a more general context in…
Systems of equations with sets of integers as unknowns are considered. It is shown that the class of sets representable by unique solutions of equations using the operations of union and addition $S+T=\makeset{m+n}{m \in S, \: n \in T}$ and…
In this paper, we study collective additive tree spanners for families of graphs enjoying special Robertson-Seymour's tree-decompositions, and demonstrate interesting consequences of obtained results. We say that a graph $G$ {\em admits a…
Recent papers [Ber'2022], [GP'2020], [DHZ'2019] have addressed different variants of the (\Delta + 1)-edge colouring problem by concatenating or gluing together many Vizing chains to form what Bernshteyn [Ber'2022] coined \emph{multi-step…
Much research in stringology focuses on structures that can, in a way, ``grasp'' repeats (substrings that occur multiple times) as, for example, the so-called runs, a.k.a. maximal repetitions, compactly describe all tandem repeats. In this…
In preference modelling, it is essential to determine the number of questions and their arrangements to ask from the decision maker. We focus on incomplete pairwise comparison matrices, and provide the optimal filling in patterns, which…
We define a suffixient set for a text $T [1..n]$ to be a set $S$ of positions between 1 and $n$ such that, for any edge descending from a node $u$ to a node $v$ in the suffix tree of $T$, there is an element $s \in S$ such that $u$'s path…
Assembly Theory, as developed by Cronin and co-workers, assigns to an object an assembly index: the minimal number of binary join operations required to build at least one copy of the object from a specified set of basic building blocks,…
Motivated by the question of how macromolecules assemble, the notion of an {\it assembly tree} of a graph is introduced. Given a graph $G$, the paper is concerned with enumerating the number of assembly trees of $G$, a problem that applies…
We introduce a new family of monoids, which we call gap absorbing monoids. Every gap absorbing monoid is an ideal extension of a free commutative monoid. For a gap absorbing monoid $S$ we study its set of atoms and Betti elements, which…
The chain length of a set family $\mathcal{S} \subseteq 2^{[m]}$ is the largest ascending sequence of sets in containment order in the union-closure of $\mathcal S$. In this work, we provide a significantly simpler and more optimal…
In the paper, we describe all total orders $\succ$ compatible with addition on additive subsemigroup $S$ of finite dimensional spaces over rational numbers. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which a finitely generated…
For an input graph $G$, an additive spanner is a sparse subgraph $H$ whose shortest paths match those of $G$ up to small additive error. We prove two new lower bounds in the area of additive spanners: 1) We construct $n$-node graphs $G$ for…
