A note on global existence for boundary value problems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1989
Upper and lower solutions are used in establlsning global existence results for certain two–point boundary value problems for y‴=f(x,y,y′,y″) and y(n)=f(x,y,y′,...,y(n−1)).

On 3‐Designs From P G L ( 2 , q ) $PGL(2,q)$

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The group P G L ( 2 , q ) $PGL(2,q)$ acts 3‐transitively on the projective line G F ( q ) ∪ { ∞ } $GF(q)\cup \{\infty \}$. Thus, an orbit of its action on the k $k$‐subsets of the projective line is the block set of a 3‐ ( q + 1 , k , λ ) $(q+1,k,\lambda )$ design.

Graphs with 3-Rainbow Index n − 1 and n − 2

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2015
Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be a nontrivial connected graph of order n with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ N, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color.

Coxeter-biCatalan combinatorics [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2015
We consider several counting problems related to Coxeter-Catalan combinatorics and conjecture that the problems all have the same answer, which we call the $W$ -biCatalan number. We prove the conjecture in many cases.

Combinatorics of embeddings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We offer the following explanation of the statement of the Kuratowski graph planarity criterion and of 6/7 of the statement of the Robertson-Seymour-Thomas intrinsic linking criterion.

Unimodality Problems in Ehrhart Theory

open access: yes, 2017
Ehrhart theory is the study of sequences recording the number of integer points in non-negative integral dilates of rational polytopes. For a given lattice polytope, this sequence is encoded in a finite vector called the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector. Ehrhart $h^*

The roots of combinatorics

open access: yesHistoria Mathematica, 1979
AbstractCombinatorics has been rather neglected by historians of mathematics. Yet there are good reasons for studying the origins of the subject, since it is a kind of mathematical subculture, not exactly parallel in its development with the great disciplines of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.

Completing Partial k $k$ ‐Star Designs

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A k $k$ ‐star is a complete bipartite graph K 1 , k ${K}_{1,k}$ . A partial k $k$ ‐star design of order n $n$ is a pair ( V , A ) $(V,{\mathscr{A}})$ where V $V$ is a set of n $n$ vertices and A ${\mathscr{A}}$ is a set of edge‐disjoint k $k$ ‐stars whose vertex sets are subsets of V $V$ .

Generalized Rainbow Connection of Graphs and their Complements

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2018
Let G be an edge-colored connected graph. A path P in G is called ℓ-rainbow if each subpath of length at most ℓ + 1 is rainbow. The graph G is called (k, ℓ)-rainbow connected if there is an edge-coloring such that every pair of distinct vertices of G is ...

A simple recurrence formula for the number of rooted maps on surfaces by edges and genus [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
We establish a simple recurrence formula for the number $Q_g^n$ of rooted orientable maps counted by edges and genus. The formula is a consequence of the KP equation for the generating function of bipartite maps, coupled with a Tutte equation, and it was
