We consider special cases of the two tree degree sequences problem. We show that if two tree degree sequences do not have common leaves then they always have edge-disjoint caterpillar realizations. By using a probabilistic method, we prove…
An antidirected trail in a digraph is a trail (a walk with no arc repeated) in which the arcs alternate between forward and backward arcs. An antidirected path is an antidirected trail where no vertex is repeated. We show that it is…
We study a generalization of tropical oriented matroids by Ardila and Develin, and show that they are in bijection with subdivisions of root polytopes, which are sub-polytopes of a product of two simplices.
We prove complex contraction for zero-free regions of counting weighted set cover problem in which an element can appear in an unbounded number of sets, thus obtaining fully polynomial-time approximation schemes(FPTAS) via Barvinok's…
We present a formal analysis, in Isabelle/HOL, of optimisation algorithms for matroids, which are useful generalisations of combinatorial structures that occur in optimisation, and greedoids, which are a generalisation of matroids. Although…
In this paper we consider the original and different generalizations of Postnikov-Shapiro algebra which enumerate forests and trees of graphs, see~\cite{PSh}. Our main result is that the algebra counting forests depends only on graphical…
Given a graph $G$ and two spanning trees $T$ and $T'$ in $G$, Spanning Tree Reconfiguration asks whether there is a step-by-step transformation from $T$ to $T'$ such that all intermediates are also spanning trees of $G$, by exchanging an…
Given a directed graph $D=(V,A)$ with a set of $d$ specified vertices $S=\{s_1,...,s_d\}\subseteq V$ and a function $f\colon S \to \mathbb{Z}_+$ where $\mathbb{Z}_+$ denotes the set of non-negative integers, we consider the problem which…
A natural way to deal with multiple, partially conflicting objectives is turning all the objectives but one into budget constraints. Some classical polynomial-time optimization problems, such as spanning tree and forest, shortest path,…
Let \A be a complex hyperplane arrangement, and let $X$ be a modular element of arbitrary rank in the intersection lattice of \A. We show that projection along $X$ restricts to a fiber bundle projection of the complement of \A to the…
In this paper, we consider dynamic matroids, where elements can be inserted to or deleted from the ground set over time. The independent sets change to reflect the current ground set. As matroids are central to the study of many…
Restrictions of incidence-preserving path maps produce an oriented hypergraphic All Minors Matrix-tree Theorems for Laplacian and adjacency matrices. The images of these maps produce a locally signed graphic, incidence generalization, of…
We associate root polytopes to directed graphs and study them by using ribbon structures. Most attention is paid to what we call the semi-balanced case, i.e., when each cycle has the same number of edges pointing in the two directions.…
We give a short and direct proof of a remarkable identity that arises in the enumeration of labeled trees with respect to their indegree sequence, where all edges are oriented from the vertex with lower label towards the vertex with higher…
In this paper, we continue our study of blade arrangements and the positroidal subdivisions which are induced by them on $\Delta_{k,n}$. A blade is a tropical hypersurface which is generated by a system of $n$ affine simple roots of type…
A tree decomposition of a graph facilitates computations by grouping vertices into bags that are interconnected in an acyclic structure, hence their importance in a plethora of problems such as query evaluation over databases and inference…
Phylogenetic tree shapes capture fundamental signatures of evolution. We consider ``ranked'' tree shapes, which are equipped with a total order on the internal nodes compatible with the tree graph. Recent work has established an elegant…
A bimatroid is a matroid-like generalization of the collection of regular minors of a matrix. In this article, we use the theory of Lorentzian polynomials to study the logarithmic concavity of natural sequences associated to bimatroids.…
We apply the techniques developed by Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava, working with principal submatrices in place of rank $1$ decompositions to give an alternate proof of their results on restricted invertibility. We show that one can find…
Given two finite matroids on the same ground set, a celebrated result of Edmonds says that the ground set can be partitioned into two disjoint subsets in a manner that there is a common independent set in both matroids whose intersection…
