We prove that there is a structure, indeed a linear ordering, whose degree spectrum is the set of all non-hyperarithmetic degrees. We also show that degree spectra can distinguish measure from category.
A poset $P= (X, \prec)$ has an interval representation if each $x \in X$ can be assigned a real interval $I_x$ so that $x \prec y$ in $P$ if and only if $I_x$ lies completely to the left of $I_y$. Such orders are called \emph{interval…
We prove that every class of Eulerian directed graphs of bounded carving width (equivalently of bounded degree and treewidth) is well-quasi-ordered by strong immersion. In fact, we prove a stronger result, namely that every class of…
This paper considers 1-string representations of planar graphs that are order-preserving in the sense that the order of crossings along the curve representing vertex $v$ is the same as the order of edges in the clockwise order around $v$ in…
We study order units in the real group ring and the augmentation ideal, as well as in matrix algebras. We identify an infinite family of order units in the powers of the augmentation ideal, that includes the Laplacian, and show that these…
We prove that for a bijective, unital, linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if, and only if, it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) $JB$-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms.…
A successive vertex ordering of a graph is a linear ordering of its vertices in which every vertex except the first has at least one neighbour appearing earlier. Such orderings arise naturally in incremental growth and…
Given a graph, we associate each edge with the transposition which exchanges the endvertices. Fixing a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of the vertices. D\'enes proved that the permutation is a full cyclic permutation…
We exhibit a single interval map (called universal map) that admits all those orbit patterns which are available in the first Sharkovsky class. An interval map is said to be in the first Sharkovsky class if every periodic point of it is a…
In various places in the literature it is stated that every separable linear order embeds into the real line. This is, however, not the case, at least not with respect to the usual definition of separability. We correct this misconception.
We introduce the concept of TRAP (Traces and Permutations), which can roughly be viewed as a wheeled PROP (Products and Permutations) without unit. TRAPs are equipped with a horizontal concatenation and partial trace maps. Continuous…
The sparsity order of a (simple undirected) graph is the highest possible rank (over ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$) of the extremal elements in the matrix cone that consists of positive semidefinite matrices with prescribed zeros on the…
The rank of a graph is defined to be the rank of its adjacency matrix. A graph is called reduced if it has no isolated vertices and no two vertices with the same set of neighbors. We determine the maximum order of reduced triangle-free…
We show that universal rigidity of a generic bar and joint framework (G,p) in the line depends on more than the ordering of the vertices. In particular, we construct examples of one-dimensional generic frameworks with the same graph and…
The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…
In general, representations of interval orders may use an arbitrary set of interval lengths. We can define subclasses of interval orders by restricting the allowable lengths of intervals. Motivated by a recent paper of Keller, Trenk, and…
In this paper, we study properties of nodal orders defined over arbitrary base fields. In particular we give a classification of complete real nodal orders.
The Pathwidth Theorem states that if a class of graphs has unbounded pathwidth, then it contains all trees as graph minors. We prove a similar result for dense graphs. More precisely, we give a finite family of tree-like patterns and prove…
We study poset limits given by sequences of finite interval orders or, as a special case, finite semiorders. In the interval order case, we show that every such limit can be represented by a probability measure on the space of closed…
An r-partite graph is an interval r-graph if corresponding to each vertex we can assign an interval of the real line such that two vertices u and v of different partite sets are adjacent if and only if their corresponding intervals…
