Let $C_{m}$ be a cycle with length $m.$ The $k$-uniform hypercycle with length $m$ obtained by adding $k-2$ new vertices in every edge of $C_{m},$ denoted by $C_{m,k}.$ In this paper, we obtain some trace formulas of uniform hypercycles…

The graph of overlapping permutations is defined in a way analogous to the De Bruijn graph on strings of symbols. That is, for every permutation $\pi = \pi_{1} \pi_{2} ... \pi_{n+1}$ there is a directed edge from the standardization of…

A cycle cover of a bridgeless graph $G$ is a collection of simple cycles in $G$ such that each edge $e$ appears on at least one cycle. The common objective in cycle cover computation is to minimize the total lengths of all cycles. Motivated…

This paper presents a method to find new De Bruijn cycles based on ones of lesser order. This is done by mapping a De Bruijn cycle to several vertex disjoint cycles in a De Bruijn digraph of higher order and connecting these cycles into one…

This paper presents L-UC, a universal construction that efficiently implements dynamic objects of large state in a wait-free manner. The step complexity of L-UC is O(n+kw), where n is the number of processes, k is the interval contention…

Time series clustering poses a significant challenge with diverse applications across domains. A prominent drawback of existing solutions lies in their limited interpretability, often confined to presenting users with centroids. In…

A graph $G$ is called $H$-saturated if it does not contain any copy of $H$, but for any edge $e$ in the complement of $G$ the graph $G+e$ contains some $H$. The minimum size of an $n$-vertex $H$-saturated graph is denoted by $\sat(n,H)$. We…

There has been extensive research on cycle lengths in graphs with large minimum degree. In this paper, we obtain several new and tight results in this area. Let $G$ be a graph with minimum degree at least $k+1$. We prove that if $G$ is…

For integers $k\geq 1$ and $n\geq 2k+1$, the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ has as vertices all $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element ground set, and an edge between any two disjoint sets. It has been conjectured since the 1970s that all Kneser…

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Let $G$ be a balanced bipartite graph of order $2n$ with bipartition $(X, Y)$, and $S$ a subset of $X$. Suppose that every pair of nonadjacent vertices $(x,y)$ with $x\in S, y\in Y$ satisfies $d(x)+d(y)\geq…

Bidimensionality is the most common technique to design subexponential-time parameterized algorithms on special classes of graphs, particularly planar graphs. The core engine behind it is a combinatorial lemma of Robertson, Seymour and…

We propose geometrical methods for constructing square 01-matrices with the same number n of units in every row and column, and such that any two rows of the matrix contain at most one unit in common. These matrices are equivalent to…

We present a recursive construction of a (2t + 1)-wise uniform set of permutations on 2n objects using a (2t + 1) - (2n, n, \cdot) combinatorial design, a t-wise uniform set of permutations on n objects and a (2t+1)-wise uniform set of…

We study universal cycles on the Grassmannian $G_q(2,n)$, the set of $2$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. While their existence is known from inductive and Eulerian graph methods, we give a direct algebraic…

Let $M$ be a closed Riemannian surface of genus $g$. We construct a family of 1-cycles on $M$ that represents a non-trivial element of the k'th homology group of the space of cycles and such that the mass of each cycle is bounded above by…

This article studies the number of ways of selecting $k$ objects arranged in $p$ circles of sizes $n_1,\ldots,n_p$ such that no two selected ones have less than $s$ objects between them. If $n_i\geq sk+1$ for all $1\leq i \leq p$, this…

We apply the Euler tour technique to find subtrees of specified weight as follows. Let $k, g, N_1, N_2 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $1 \leq k \leq N_2$, $g + h > 2$ and $2k - 4g - h + 3 \leq N_2 \leq 2k + g + h - 2$, where $h := 2N_1 - N_2$.…

Decomposing an Eulerian graph into a minimum respectively maximum number of edge disjoint cycles is an NP-complete problem. We prove that an Eulerian graph decomposes into a unique number of cycles if and only if it does not contain two…

Steiner quadruple systems are set systems in which every triple is contained in a unique quadruple. It is will known that Steiner quadruple systems of order v, or SQS(v), exist if and only if v = 2, 4 mod 6. Universal cycles, introduced by…

In a graph $G$, a subset of vertices $S \subseteq V(G)$ is said to be cyclable if there is a cycle containing the vertices in some order. $G$ is said to be $k$-cyclable if any subset of $k \geq 2$ vertices is cyclable. If any $k$…
