We take a graph theoretic approach to the problem of finding generators for those prime ideals of $\mathcal{O}_q(\mathcal{M}_{m,n}(\mathbb{K}))$ which are invariant under the torus action ($\mathbb{K}^*)^{m+n}$. Launois \cite{launois3} has…
We investigate the extremal properties of saturated partial plane embeddings of maximal planar graphs. For a planar graph $G$, the plane-saturation number $\mathrm{sat}_{\mathcal{P}}(G)$ denotes the minimum number of edges in a plane…
Let $G$ be a finite group. In order to determine the smallest cardinality $d(G)$ of a generating set of $G$ and a generating set with this cardinality, one should repeat many times the test whether a subset of $G$ of small cardinality…
Given a set of points in the plane, the \textsc{General Position Subset Selection} problem is that of finding a maximum-size subset of points in general position, i.e., with no three points collinear. The problem is known to be ${\rm…
This paper considers automatic generation control over an information-sharing network of communicating generators as a multi-agent system. The optimization solution is distributed among the agents based on information consensus algorithms,…
Let G be a group of the form G_1* ... *G_n, the free product of n subgroups, and let M be a ZG-module of the form $\bigoplus_{i=1}^n M_i \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}G_i} \mathbb{Z}G$. We shall give formulae in various situations for $d_{ZG}(M)$, the…
In this paper, the containment problem for the defining ideal of a special type of zero dimensional subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^2$, so called quasi star configurations, is investigated. Some sharp bounds for the resurgence of these types of…
Our starting point is a basic problem in Hermite interpolation theory, namely determining the least degree of a homogeneous polynomial that vanishes to some specified order at every point of a given finite set. We solve this problem if the…
We show for each positive integer $a$ that, if $\mathcal{M}$ is a minor-closed class of matroids not containing all rank-$(a+1)$ uniform matroids, then there exists an integer $c$ such that either every rank-$r$ matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ can…
Let $A = \mathbb{F}_q[T]$, $\mathfrak{p} \subset A$ prime, $f(x) \in A[x]$ irreducible and set $R = A[x]/f(x)$. Denote its completion by $R_\mathfrak{p}$. The ideal class monoid $\text{ICM}(R_\mathfrak{p})$ is the set of fractional…
Given a finite set of points $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb P^{k-1}$ not all contained in a hyperplane, the "fitting problem" asks what is the maximum number $hyp(\Gamma)$ of these points that can fit in some hyperplane and what is (are) the…
It is well-known that each left ideals in a matrix rings over a finite field is generated by an idempotent matrix. In this work we compute the number of left ideals in these rings, the number of different idempotents generating each left…
We begin a discussion about the maximal containments of lower central series ideals: ideals generated by products of two-sided ideals of the lower central series of the free associative algebra on $n$ generators. We introduce two new ideas…
Let $G$ be a graph whose edges are labeled by ideals of a commutative ring $R$ with identity. Such a graph is called an edge-labeled graph over $R$. A generalized spline is a vertex labeling so that the difference between the labels of any…
We give bounds on the degree of generators for the ideal of relations of the graded algebras of modular forms with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$ over congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$ for $N$ satisfying some congruence conditions and for…
This paper is concerned with the characterizations of fixed points of the generating function of branching processes with countably infinitely many types. We assume each particle of type $i$ can only give offspring of type $j\geq i$, whose…
Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that for each r, there exists a constant C(r) so that the prime ideal of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of any projective space is generated by polynomials of degree at most…
In clinical trials and other applications, we often see regions of the feature space that appear to exhibit interesting behaviour, but it is unclear whether these observed phenomena are reflected at the population level. Focusing on a…
In a recent paper, Schenck and Seceleanu showed that in three variables, any ideal generated by powers of linear forms has the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). This result contrasts with examples, in our previous work, of ideals in four…
If $I$ is a perfect ideal in a local Cohen-Macaulay ring, the generators of ideals linked to $I$ are well understood. However, the generators of the residual intersections of $I$ have only been computed in a few special cases. In this…
