We introduce megagreedoids, which generalize polymatroids, megamatroids, and greedoids. We define a quasisymmetric function invariant for a megagreedoid, and show that it has a positive expansion in the basis of fundamental quasisymmetric…

A family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ is said to have the joint embedding property (JEP) if for every $G_1, G_2\in \mathcal{F}$, there is an $H\in \mathcal{F}$ that contains both $G_1$ and $G_2$ as induced subgraphs. If $\mathcal{F}$ is given by…

In this work, we consider a pair $(\textbf{X},0)$ and $(\textbf{Y},0)$ of hypersurfaces in $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ parametrized by finitely determined, quasihomogeneous map germs $f$ and $g,$ respectively. Zariski asked whether the…

A graph is called pseudo-outerplanar if each block has an embedding on the plane in such a way that the vertices lie on a fixed circle and the edges lie inside the disk of this circle with each of them crossing at most one another. In this…

Let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots, x_n]$ be a polynomial ring, where $\mathbb{K}$ is a field, and $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $J(G)\subset S$ be the vertex cover ideal of $G$. Herzog, Hibi and Ohsugi have conjectured that all…

Let $V$ be a left $R$-module where $R$ is a (not necessarily commutative) ring with unit. The intersection graph $\cG(V)$ of proper $R$-submodules of $V$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex…

A graph covering projection, also referred to as a locally bijective homomorphism, is a mapping between the vertices and edges of two graphs that preserves incidences and is a local bijection. This concept originates in topological graph…

In this paper a hypergraph will be identified with the family of its edges. A hypergraph $\mathcal E$ possesses property $C(k,{\rho})$ iff $|\bigcap \mathcal E'|<{\rho}$ for each $\mathcal E'\in {[\mathcal E]}^{k}$. A vertex set $Y\subset…

In this paper we examine the percolation properties of higher-order networks that have non-trivial clustering and subgraph-based assortative mixing (the tendency of vertices to connect to other vertices based on subgraph joint degree). Our…

We provide CONGEST model algorithms for approximating minimum weighted vertex cover and the maximum weighted matching. For bipartite graphs, we show that a $(1+\varepsilon)$-approximate weighted vertex cover can be computed…

For each of the notions of hypergraph quasirandomness that have been studied, we identify a large class of hypergraphs F so that every quasirandom hypergraph H admits a perfect F-packing. An informal statement of a special case of our…

We study the spectra of mixed graphs about its Hermitian adjacency matrix of the second kind (i.e. N-matrix) introduced by Mohar [1]. We extend some results and define one new Hermitian adjacency matrix, and the entry corresponding to an…

Let $G$ be a multigraph. A subset $F$ of $E(G)$ is an edge cover of $G$ if every vertex of $G$ is incident to an edge of $F$. The cover index, $\xi(G)$, is the largest number of edge covers into which the edges of $G$ can be partitioned.…

A connected matching in a graph G consists of a set of pairwise disjoint edges whose covered vertices induce a connected subgraph of G. While finding a connected matching of maximum cardinality is a well-solved problem, it is NP-hard to…

Covering arrays are combinatorial objects that have been successfully applied in the design of test suites for testing systems such as software, circuits and networks, where failures can be caused by the interaction between their…

We study the Hopf monoid of convex geometries, which contains partial orders as a Hopf submonoid, and investigate the combinatorial invariants arising from canonical characters. Each invariant consists of a pair: a polynomial and a more…

Ryser's conjecture says that for every $r$-partite hypergraph $H$ with matching number $\nu(H)$, the vertex cover number is at most $(r-1)\nu(H)$. This far reaching generalization of K\"onig's theorem is only known to be true for $r\leq 3$,…

The largest matching root of a $k$-graph is the largest real root of its matching polynomial, which is equal to the maximum modulus of all the zeros of the matching polynomial. In this paper, we investigate the perturbation of the largest…

Let $V$ be a finite set of $n$ elements, $f: 2^V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ be a nonnegative monotone supermodular function, and $k$ be a positive integer no greater than $n$. This paper addresses the problem of maximizing $f(S)$ over all…

The problem of matroid-reachability-based packing of arborescences was solved by Kir\'aly. Here we solve the corresponding decomposition problem that turns out to be more complicated. The result is obtained from the solution of the more…
