We explore a generalization of the Markov numbers that is motivated by a specific generalized cluster algebra arising from an orbifold, in the sense of Chekhov and Shapiro. We give an explicit algorithm for computing these generalized…
For $k\geq 0$, a $k$-generalized Markov number is an integer which appears in some positive integer solution to the $k$-generalized Markov equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + k(yz + zx + xy) = (3 + 3k)xyz$. In this paper, we discuss a combinatorial…
In this paper we introduce generalised Markov numbers and extend the classical Markov theory for the discrete Markov spectrum to the case of generalised Markov numbers. In particular we show recursive properties for these numbers and find…
We develop a generalized Markov theory for the Markov--Lagrange and Markov spectra. The classical discrete Markov spectrum is governed by Markov numbers, the positive integers occurring in solutions of the Markov equation. We show that this…
This paper is a sequel to our previous work in which we found a combinatorial realization of continued fractions as quotients of the number of perfect matchings of snake graphs. We show how this realization reflects the convergents of the…
In this paper, we systematically study generalized Markov numbers arising from semigroups of reduced integer matrices. This construction allows us to find these numbers by counting perfect matchings of a new family of bipartite graphs,…
The aim of the article is to understand the combinatorics of snake graphs by means of linear algebra. In particular, we apply Kasteleyn's and Temperley--Fisher's ideas about spectral properties of weighted adjacency matrices of planar…
Springer numbers are an analog of Euler numbers for the group of signed permutations. Arnol'd showed that they count some objects called snakes, that generalize alternating permutations. Hoffman established a link between Springer numbers,…
Markov decision processes continue to gain in popularity for modeling a wide range of applications ranging from analysis of supply chains and queuing networks to cognitive science and control of autonomous vehicles. Nonetheless, they tend…
We introduce several commutative rings, the snake rings, that have strong connections to cluster algebras. The elements of these rings are residue classes of unions of certain labeled graphs that were used to construct canonical bases in…
In the recent years, several polynomial algorithms of a dynamical nature have been proposed to address the graph isomorphism problem. In this paper we propose a generalization of an approach exposed in cond-mat/0209112 and find that this…
We provide multiple combinatorial expansion formulas - in terms of snake graphs, labelled posets, matrices, and $T$-walks - for elements in generalized cluster algebras associated to arcs on punctured orbifolds and illustrate their…
Snakes are analogues of alternating permutations defined for any Coxeter group. We study these objects from the point of view of combinatorial Hopf algebras, such as noncommutative symmetric functions and their generalizations. The main…
A proof of Sharkovsky's Theorem is given. It is shown how this proof naturally generalizes to looking at maps on graphs and to Sharkovsky-type theorems for these maps. The paper is written at an elementary level and is meant as an…
We study the graphs generated when the formula for linking Markov triples is applied to general triples of integers. We find there are a finite number of equivalence classes of graphs, each with particular properties.
By using the squared slack variables technique, we demonstrate that the solution set of a general polynomial complementarity problem is the image, under a specific projection, of the set of real zeroes of a system of polynomials. This paper…
The Markov-Bernstein type inequalities between the norms of functions and of their derivatives are analysed for complex exponential polynomials. We establish a relation between the sharp constants in those inequalities and the stability…
In this paper we give a novel solution to a classical completion problem for square matrices. This problem was studied by many authors through time, and it is completely solved in [2, 3]. In this paper we relate this classical problem to a…
A matrix polynomial is a polynomial in a complex variable $\lambda$ with coefficients in $n \times n$ complex matrices. The spectral curve of a matrix polynomial $P(\lambda)$ is the curve $\{ (\lambda, \mu) \in \mathbb{C}^2 \mid…
We give a simple and entirely elementary proof of Gasper's theorem on the Markov sequence problem for Jacobi polynomials. It is based on the spectral analysis of an operator that arises in the study of a probabilistic model of colliding…
