We prove that for any pair of constants $\epsilon>0$ and $\Delta$ and for $n$ sufficiently large, every family of trees of orders at most $n$, maximum degrees at most $\Delta$, and with at most $\binom{n}{2}$ edges in total packs into…

The overhand shuffle is one of the ``real'' card shuffling methods in the sense that some people actually use it to mix a deck of cards. A mathematical model was constructed and analyzed by Pemantle [J. Theoret. Probab. 2 (1989) 37--49] who…

We prove a "decomposition lemma" that allows us to count preimages of certain sets of permutations under West's stack-sorting map $s$. As a first application, we give a new proof of Zeilberger's formula for the number of 2-stack-sortable…

A sock sequence is a sequence of elements, which we will refer to as socks, from a finite alphabet. A sock sequence is sorted if all occurrences of a sock appear consecutively. We define equivalence classes of sock sequences called sock…

The selection problem, where one wishes to locate the $k^{th}$ smallest element in an unsorted array of size $n$, is one of the basic problems studied in computer science. The main focus of this work is designing algorithms for solving the…

Balogh, Bar\'at, Gerbner, Gy\'arf\'as, and S\'ark\"ozy proposed the following conjecture. Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $3n/4$. Then for every $2$-edge-colouring of $G$, the vertex set $V(G)$ may be…

An equitable tree-$k$-coloring of a graph is a vertex $k$-coloring such that each color class induces a forest and the size of any two color classes differ by at most one. In this work, we show that every interval graph $G$ has an equitable…

A $\frac{1}{k}$-majority $l$-edge-colouring of a graph $G$ is a colouring of its edges with $l$ colours such that for every colour $i$ and each vertex $v$ of $G$, at most $\frac{1}{k}$'th of the edges incident with $v$ have colour $i$. We…

In two dimensions, quenched disorder always rounds transitions involving the breaking of spatial symmetries so, in practice, it can often be difficult to infer what form the symmetry breaking would take in the ``ideal,'' zero disorder…

Consider a graph whose vertices are colored in one of two colors, say black or white. A white vertex is called integrated if it has at least as many black neighbors as white neighbors, and similarly for a black vertex. The coloring as a…

We consider the number of passes a permutation needs to take through a stack if we only pop the appropriate output values and start over with the remaining entries in their original order. We define a permutation $\pi$ to be $k$-pass…

Given a graph $G$, a 2-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ is said to contain a balanced copy of $G$ if we can find a copy of $G$ such that half of its edges is in each color class. If there exists an integer $k$ such that, for $n$ sufficiently…

A 1971 conjecture of Graham (later repeated by Erd\H{o}s and Graham) asserts that every set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p \setminus \{0\}$ has an ordering whose partial sums are all distinct. We prove this conjecture for sets of size $|A|…

We study the random planar graph process introduced by Gerke, Schlatter, Steger, and Taraz [The random planar graph process, Random Structures Algorithms 32 (2008), no. 2, 236--261; MR2387559]: Begin with an empty graph on $n$ vertices,…

In 1933 von Neumann proved a beautiful result that one can approximate a point in the intersection of two convex sets by alternating projections, i.e., successively projecting on one set and then the other. This algorithm assumes that one…

The contiguous art gallery problem was introduced at SoCG'25 in a merged paper that combined three simultaneous results, each achieving a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem. This problem is a variant of the classical art gallery…

We study the online sorting problem, where $n$ real numbers arrive in an online fashion, and the algorithm must immediately place each number into an array of size $(1+\varepsilon) n$ before seeing the next number. After all $n$ numbers are…

Suppose that the vertices of a graph $G$ are colored with two colors in an unknown way. The color that occurs on more than half of the vertices is called the majority color (if it exists), and any vertex of this color is called a majority…

In the game of pegging, each vertex of a graph is considered a hole into which a peg can be placed. A pegging move is performed by jumping one peg over another peg, and then removing the peg that has been jumped over from the graph. We…

We propose a sorting-based greedy algorithm called SortedGreedy[m] for approximately solving the offline version of the d-choice weighted balls-into-bins problem where the number of choices for each ball is equal to the number of bins. We…
