As starting point, we formulate a corollary to the Quantitative Combinatorial Nullstellensatz. This corollary does not require the consideration of any coefficients of polynomials, only evaluations of polynomial functions. In certain…

Let F be a finite field and R = M2(F) be 2x2 matrix ring over F. In this paper, we explicitly determine all the idempotents in R. Using these idempotents, we study the idempotent graph of R whose vertex set is the set of non-trivial…

We show that a point is solution of the Minty variational inequality of subdifferential type for a given function if and only if the function is increasing along rays starting from that point. This provides a characterization of the…

The distinguishing index $D'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least number of colours needed in an edge colouring which is not preserved by any non-trivial automorphism. Broere and Pil\'sniak conjectured that if every non-trivial automorphism of a…

Let $T$ be a tree with an irreducible characteristic polynomial $\phi(x)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\Delta(T)$ be the discriminant of $\phi(x)$. It is proved that if $2^{-\frac n2}\sqrt{\Delta(T)}$ (which is always an integer) is odd and…

Let $T$ be a square matrix with a real spectrum, and let $f$ be an analytic function. The problem of the approximate calculation of $f(T)$ is discussed. Applying the Schur triangular decomposition and the reordering, one can assume that $T$…

Extending work of Bell and of Bell, Ghioca, and Tucker, we prove that for a p-adic analytic self-map f on a closed unit polydisk, if every coefficient of f(x)-x has valuation greater than that of p^{1/(p-1)}, then the iterates of f can be…

A graph G is (a:b)-colorable if there exists an assignment of b-element subsets of {1,...,a} to vertices of G such that sets assigned to adjacent vertices are disjoint. We first show that for every triangle-free planar graph G and a vertex…

A graph $G$ is well-covered if all its maximal stable sets have the same size, denoted by alpha(G) (M. D. Plummer, 1970). If for any $k$ the $k$-th coefficient of a polynomial I(G;x) is equal to the number of stable sets of cardinality $k$…

We introduce the index i(v) = 1 - X(S(v)) for critical points of a locally injective function f on the vertex set V of a simple graph G=(V,E). Here S(v) = {w in E | (v,w) in E, f(w)-f(v)<0} is the subgraph of the unit sphere at v in G. It…

There are many variations on partition functions for graph homomorphisms or colorings. The case considered here is a counting or hard constraint problem in which the range or color graph carries a free and vertex transitive Abelian group…

Let $c$ be a proper edge colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with integers $1,2,\ldots,k$. Then $k\geq \Delta(G)$, while by Vizing's theorem, no more than $k=\Delta(G)+1$ is necessary for constructing such $c$. On the course of investigating…

A graph $G$ with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges is said to be edge-graceful if its edges can be labeled from $1$ through $q$, in such a way that the labels induced on the vertices by adding over the labels of incident edges modulo $p$ are…

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of…

There exists a variety of coloring problems for plane graphs, involving vertices, edges, and faces in all possible combinations. For instance, in the \emph{entire coloring} of a plane graph we are to color these three sets so that any pair…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}_0$ be a multiplicative arithmetic function such that for all primes $p$ and positive integers $\alpha$, $f(p^{\alpha})<p^{\alpha}$ and $f(p)\vert f(p^{\alpha})$. Suppose also that any prime that…

A star edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring with no 2-colored path or cycle of length four. The star edge coloring problem is to find an edge coloring of a given graph $G$ with minimum number $k$ of colors such that $G$…

Mutual-visibility sets were motivated by visibility in distributed systems and social networks, and intertwine with several classical mathematical areas. Monotone properties of the variety of mutual-visibility sets, and restrictions of such…

In this paper we show that for each $n$, there exists a simple graph whose reliability polynomial has at least $n$ inflection points.
