Substructure Densities in Extremal Combinatorics [PDF]

open access: green, 2021
One of the primary goals of combinatorial mathematics is to understand how an object's properties are influenced by the presence or multiplicity of a given substructure. Over time, it has become popular to highlight the asymptotic behaviour of objects by expressing results in terms of the density of substructures.

Graphical designs and extremal combinatorics [PDF]

open access: hybridLinear Algebra and its Applications, 2020
A graphical design is a proper subset of vertices of a graph on which many eigenfunctions of the Laplacian operator have mean value zero. In this paper, we show that extremal independent sets make extremal graphical designs, that is, a design on which the maximum possible number of eigenfunctions have mean value zero.

Fully Computer-Assisted Proofs in Extremal Combinatorics

open access: diamondProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2023
We present a fully computer-assisted proof system for solving a particular family of problems in Extremal Combinatorics. Existing techniques using Flag Algebras have proven powerful in the past, but have so far lacked a computational counterpart to ...

Extremal Combinatorics and Universal Algorithms

open access: green, 2018
In this dissertation we solve several combinatorial problems in different areas of mathematics: automata theory, combinatorics of partially ordered sets and extremal combinatorics. Firstly, we focus on some new automata that do not seem to have occurred much in the literature, that of solvability of mazes.

Two problems in extremal combinatorics

open access: gold, 2021
In this thesis, we focus on two problems in extremal graph theory. Extremal graph theory consists of all problems related to optimizing parameters defined on graphs. The concept of ``editing'' appears in many key results and techniques in extremal graph theory, either as a means to account for error in structural results, or as a quantity to minimize ...

New results in extremal combinatorics

open access: green, 2021
Extremal problems, in general, ask for the optimal size of certain finite objects when some restrictions are imposed. In extremal combinatorics, a major field in combinatorics, one studies how global properties guarantee the existence of local substructures, or equivalently, how avoiding local substructures poses a constraint on global quantities.

A path forward: Tropicalization in extremal combinatorics [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Mathematics, 2021
Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be be stated as proving a pure binomial inequality in graph homomorphism numbers, i.e., proving that hom$(H_1,G)^{a_1}\cdots$hom$(H_k,G)^{a_k}\geq$hom$(H_{k+1},G)^{a_{k+1}}\cdots$hom$(H_m,G)^{a_m}$ holds for some fixed graphs $H_1,\dots,H_m$ and all graphs $G$.

PPP-Completeness and Extremal Combinatorics

open access: green14thInnovationsinTheoreticalComputerScienceConference(ITCS2023), 2023
Many classical theorems in combinatorics establish the emergence of substructures within sufficiently large collections of objects. Well-known examples are Ramsey's theorem on monochromatic subgraphs and the Erdős-Rado sunflower lemma. Implicit versions of the corresponding total search problems are known to be PWPP-hard; here "implici" means that the ...

Information Inequalities via Submodularity and a Problem in Extremal Graph Theory [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The present paper offers, in its first part, a unified approach for the derivation of families of inequalities for set functions which satisfy sub/supermodularity properties.

Exploring implications of Trace (Inversion) formula and Artin algebras in extremal combinatorics [PDF]

open access: hybridApplicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computing, 2023
This note is just a modest contribution to prove several classical results in Combinatorics from notions of Duality in some Artinian K -algebras (mainly through the Trace Formula), where K is a perfect field of characteristics not equal to 2.
