The family of trees with palindromic characteristic polynomials is characterized. Large families of graphs with this property are found as well.
The family of cycle completable graphs has several cryptomorphic descriptions, the equivalence of which has heretofore been proven by a laborious implication-cycle that detours through a motivating matrix completion problem. We give a…
In this paper we give the bifurcation diagram of the family of cubic vector fields $\dot z=z^3+ \epsilon_1z+\epsilon_0$ for $z\in \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1$, depending on the values of $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_0\in\mathbb{C}$. The bifurcation…
A route to chaos is studied in 3-dimensional maps of logistic type. Mechanisms of period doubling for invariant closed curves (ICC) are found for specific 3-dimensional maps. These bifurcations cannot be observed for ICC in the…
In a recent paper arXiv:1602.02300v2, Cook II, Harbourne, Migliore and Nagel related the splitting type of a line arrangement in the projective plane to the number of conditions imposed by a general fat point of multiplicity $j$ to the…
In this paper, we survey recent works on the structure of the mapping class groups of surfaces mainly from the point of view of topology. We then discuss several possible directions for future research. These include the relation between…
In this paper we will study families of circle maps of the form $x\mapsto x+2\pi r + a f(x) \pmod{2\pi}$ and investigate how many periodic trajectories maps from this family can have for a "typical" function $f$ provided the parameter $a$…
We propose a method for characterizing large complex networks by introducing a new matrix structure, unique for a given network, which encodes structural information; provides useful visualization, even for very large networks; and allows…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of 2-boundary planar graphs. A graph is 2-boundary planar if it has an embedding in the plane so that all vertices lie on the boundary of at most two faces and no edges are crossed. A proper coloring…
We identify two rather novel types of (compound) dynamical bifurcations generated primarily by interactions of an invariant attracting submanifold with stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic fixed points. These bifurcation types -…
We introduce the concept of alternate-edge-colourings for maps, and study highly symmetric examples of such maps. Edge-biregular maps of type $(k,l)$ occur as smooth normal quotients of a particular index two subgroup of $T_{k,l}$, the full…
The study of bifurcations of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) is the topic of interest for many applied sciences, such as electrical engineering, robotics, etc. While some of them were investigated already, the full classification of…
We study a family of closed quantum graphs described by one singular vertex of order n=4. By suitable choice of the parameters specifying the singular vertex, we can construct a closed sequence of paths in the parameter space that…
We show that graphs, networks and other related discrete model systems carry a natural supersymmetric structure, which, apart from its conceptual importance as to possible physical applications, allows to derive a series of spectral…
In this paper we present a uniform way to derive families of maps from the corresponding differential equations describing systems which experience periodic kicks. The families depend on a single parameter - the order of a differential…
The study of spectral graph determination is a fascinating area of research in spectral graph theory and algebraic combinatorics. This field focuses on examining the spectral characterization of various classes of graphs, developing methods…
We present, to the best of the authors' knowledge, all known results for the (planar) crossing numbers of specific graphs and graph families. The results are separated into various categories; specifically, results for general graph…
We modify an argument for multiparameter bifurcation of Fredholm maps by Fitzpatrick and Pejsachowicz to strengthen results on the topology of the bifurcation set. Furthermore, we discuss an application to families of differential equations…
The family of visibility algorithms were recently introduced as mappings between time series and graphs. Here we extend this method to characterize spatially extended data structures by mapping scalar fields of arbitrary dimension into…
We describe all possible topological structures of typical one-parameter bifurcations of gradient flows on the 2-sphere with holes in the case that the number of singular point of flows is at most six. To describe structures, we separatrix…
