In this article, we consider the weighted partition function $p_f(n)$ given by the generating series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} p_f(n)z^n = \prod_{n\in\mathbb{N}^{*}}(1-z^n)^{-f(n)}$, where we restrict the class of weight functions to strongly…

The definition of conservative-irreversible functions is extended to smooth manifolds. The local representation of these functions is studied and reveals that not each conservative-irreversible function is given by the weighted product of…

Folding subgroups give a way to realize non-simply-laced Coxeter groups as subgroups of simply-laced Coxeter groups. In this paper, we study how folding subgroups of finite and affine type are distributed length-wise by calculating the…

A procedure is described that makes use of the generating function of characters to obtain a new generating function $H$ giving the multiplicities of each weight in all the representations of a simple Lie algebra. The way to extract from…

We use production matrices to count several classes of geometric graphs. We present novel production matrices for non-crossing partitions, connected geometric graphs, and k-angulations, which provide another way of counting the number of…

We identify a partition-theoretic generalization of Riemann zeta function and the equally positive integer-indexed harmonic sums at infinity, to obtain the generating function and the integral representations of the latter. The special…

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…

A product formula for the parity generating function of the number of 1's in invertible matrices over Z_2 is given. The computation is based on algebraic tools such as the Bruhat decomposition. The same technique is used to obtain a parity…

In a recent paper Cameron, Lakshmanan and Ajith began an exploration of hypergraphs defined on algebraic structures, especially groups, to investigate whether this can add a new perspective. Following their suggestions, we consider suitable…

The form factor of a quantum graph is a function measuring correlations within the spectrum of the graph. It can be expressed as a double sum over the periodic orbits on the graph. We propose a scheme which allows one to evaluate the…

We give the first analysis of the computational complexity of {\it coalition structure generation over graphs}. Given an undirected graph $G=(N,E)$ and a valuation function $v:2^N\rightarrow\RR$ over the subsets of nodes, the problem is to…

We define and characterize the $f$-matrices associated to Pascal-like matrices that are defined by ordinary and exponential Riordan arrays. These generalize the face matrices of simplices and hypercubes. Their generating functions can be…

Recently isotropic basis functions of $N$ unit vector arguments were presented; these are of significant use in measuring the N-Point Correlation Functions (NPCFs) of galaxy clustering. Here we develop the generating function for these…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

Coverings of undirected graphs are used in distributed computing, and unfoldings of directed graphs in semantics of programs. We study these two notions from a graph theoretical point of view so as to highlight their similarities, as they…
