Let $S$ be an orthogonal array $OA(d,k)$ and let $c$ be an $r$--coloring of its ground set $X$. We give a combinatorial identity which relates the number of vectors in $S$ with given color patterns under $c$ with the cardinalities of the…
We revisit the random $m$-ary search tree and study a finer profile of its node outdegrees with the purpose of exploring possibilities of data structure compression. The analysis is done via P\'olya urns. The analysis shows that the number…
By the planarity rank of a semigroup variety we mean the largest number of generators of a free semigroup of a variety with respect to which the semigroup admits a planar Cayley graph. Since the time when L.M.Martynov formulated the problem…
We prove a new formula for the generating function of multitype Cayley trees counted according to their degree distribution. Using this formula we recover and extend several enumerative results about trees. In particular, we extend some…
Multi-edge trees as introduced in a recent paper of Dziemia\'nczuk are plane trees where multiple edges are allowed. We first show that $d$-ary multi-edge trees where the out-degrees are bounded by $d$ are in bijection with classical…
A $k$-plane tree is a plane tree whose vertices are assigned labels between $1$ and $k$ in such a way that the sum of the labels along any edge is no greater than $k+1$. These trees are known to be related to $(k+1)$-ary trees, and they are…
We introduce and investigate multivariate Tutte polynomials, dichromatic polynomials, subset-corank polynomials, size-corank polynomials, and rank generating polynomials of semimatroids, which generalize the corresponding polynomial…
We study whether for a given planar family F there is an m such that any finite set of points can be 3-colored such that any member of F that contains at least m points contains two points with different colors. We conjecture that if F is a…
Graph invariants are a useful tool in graph theory. Not only do they encode useful information about the graphs to which they are associated, but complete invariants can be used to distinguish between non-isomorphic graphs. Polynomial…
We investigate an approach to matroid complexity that involves describing a matroid via a list of independent sets, bases, circuits, or some other family of subsets of the ground set. The computational complexity of algorithmic problems…
We consider a large class of matrix problems, which includes the problem of classifying arbitrary systems of linear mappings. For every matrix problem from this class, we construct Belitskii's algorithm for reducing a matrix to a canonical…
This thesis deals with the enumerative study of combinatorial maps, and its application to the enumeration of other combinatorial objects. Combinatorial maps, or simply maps, form a rich combinatorial model. They have an intuitive and…
In a pair of recent papers, Andrews, Fraenkel and Sellers provide a complete characterization for the number of $m$-ary partitions modulo $m$, with and without gaps. In this paper we extend these results to the case of coloured $m$-ary…
We use a geometric description of $m$-cluster categories of Dynkin type $A$ to count the the number of coloured quivers in the $m$-mutation class of quivers of Dynkin type $A$. This is related to angulations of polygons and the cell-growth…
We give closed form expressions for the numbers of multi-rooted plane trees with specified degrees of root vertices. This results in an infinite number of integer sequences some of which are known to have an alternative interpretation. We…
We provide a short proof of a conic version of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem for oriented matroids. Holmsen's extension of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem to oriented matroids (Advances in Mathematics, 2016) already encompasses…
Forbidden characterizations may sometimes be the most natural way to describe families of graphs, and yet these characterizations are usually very hard to exploit for enumerative purposes. By building on the work of Gioan and Paul (2012)…
Our work studies the enumeration and random generation of unlabeled combinatorial classes of unrooted graphs. While the technique of vertex pointing provides a straightforward procedure for analyzing a labeled class of unrooted graphs by…
We consider the sum of dichromatic polynomials over non-separable rooted planar maps, an interesting special case of which is the enumeration of such maps. We present some known results and derive new ones. The general problem is equivalent…
We present a technique for the enumeration of all isotopically distinct ways of tiling a hyperbolic surface of finite genus, possibly nonorientable and with punctures and boundary. This provides a generalization of the enumeration of…
