We consider Colouring on graphs that are $H$-subgraph-free for some fixed graph $H$, which are graphs that do not contain $H$ as a subgraph. To classify the complexity of Colouring on $H$-subgraph-free graphs for connected $H$, it remains…

We prove that the excedance relation on permutations defined by N. Bergeron and L. Gagnon actually extends to a congruence of the lattice on alternating sign matrices. Motivated by this example, we study all lattice congruences of the…

A weak $c$-colouring of a design is an assignment of colours to its points from a set of $c$ available colours, such that there are no monochromatic blocks. A colouring of a design is block-equitable, if for each block, the number of points…

We provide a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that, for a given $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices and edge density $d$, finds a complete $k$-partite subgraph of $H$ with parts of size at least ${c(d, k)(\log…

It is known that, for an oriented hypergraph with (vertex) coloring number $\chi$ and smallest and largest normalized Laplacian eigenvalues $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_N$, respectively, the inequality $\chi\geq…

We perform a detailed statistical study of the distribution of topological and spectral indices on random graphs $G=(V,E)$ in a wide range of connectivity regimes. First, we consider degree-based topological indices (TIs), and focus on two…

Confirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s on the chromatic number of Kneser hypergraphs, Alon, Frankl and Lov\'asz proved that in any $q$-colouring of the edges of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph, there exists a monochromatic matching of…

Blundell, Buesing, Davies, Veli\v{c}kovi\'c, and Williamson (BBDVW) introduced the notion of a hypercube decomposition of an interval in Bruhat order. They conjectured a recursive formula in terms of this structure which, if shown for all…

For a group $G,$ the generating graph of $G,$ denoted by $\Gamma(G).$ We define $Q_n=\langle x,y: x^{2n}=y^4=1, x^n=y^2,y^{-1}xy=x^{-1}\rangle,$ the dicyclic group of order $4n.$ This paper primarily delves into exploring the graph…

A signed graph $(G,\sigma)$ on $n$ vertices is called a \textit{parity signed graph} if there is a bijective mapping $f \colon V(G) \rightarrow \{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that $f(u)$ and $f(v)$ have same parity if $\sigma(uv)=1$, and opposite…

Newton's identities provide a way to express elementary symmetric polynomials in terms of power polynomials over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we study the failure of this relation in positive characteristic and what can…

We propose a computational, convex hull free framework that takes advantage of the combinatorial structure of a zonotope, as for example its symmetry group, to orbitwise generate all canonical representatives of its vertices. We illustrate…

Let $L(X)$ be the line graph of graph $X$. Let $X^{\prime\prime}$ be the Kronecker product of $X$ by $K_2$. In this paper, we see that $L(X^{\prime\prime})$ is a double cover of $L(X)$. We define the symmetric edge graph of $X$, denoted as…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, not all on a line, each colored \emph{red} or \emph{blue}. The classical Motzkin--Rabin theorem guarantees the existence of a \emph{monochromatic} line. Motivated by the seminal work of Green and…

We prove that whenever $d=d(n)\to\infty$ and $n-d\to\infty$ as $n\to\infty$, then with high probability for any non-trivial initial colouring, the colour refinement algorithm distinguishes all vertices of the random regular graph…

For a permutation matrix $P$, let $s_P$ denote its Stanley-Wilf limit, the exponential growth rate of the number of $n\times n$ permutation matrices avoiding $P$. Let $c_P$ denote its F\"{u}redi-Hajnal limit, which is the limit…

Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…

We introduce the class of bilateral parking procedures on the integer line. While cars try to park in the nearest available spot to their right in the classical case, we consider more general parking rules that allow cars to use the nearest…

The Oberwolfach problem asks for a $2$-factorization of the complete graph in which each $2$-factor is isomorphic to a specific factor $F$. Recently, this problem has been extended to directed graphs. In this case, the directed Oberwolfach…

In this article, we study polymatroids that are representable by means of linear restricted rank-metric codes, namely, by subspaces of the space of alternating, symmetric, or Hermitian square matrices endowed with the rank metric. More…
