A characterization of extremal graphs with no matching-cut [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
A graph is called (matching-)immune if it has no edge cut that is also a matching. Farley and Proskurowski proved that for all immune graphs $G=(V,E)$, $|E|≥\lceil 3(|V|-1)/2\rceil$ , and constructed a large class of immune graphs that attain this lower ...

Donaldson-Thomas invariants, torus knots, and lattice paths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper we find and explore the correspondence between quivers, torus knots, and combinatorics of counting paths. Our first result pertains to quiver representation theory -- we find explicit formulae for classical generating functions and ...

List graphs and distance-consistent node labelings

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications, 2018
In this paper we consider node labelings c of an undirected connected graph G = (V, E) with labels {1, 2, ..., ∣V∣}, which induce a list distance c(u, v) = ∣c(v) − c(u)∣ besides the usual graph distance d(u, v).

An extremal problem on trees and database theory [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
We consider an extremal problem on labelled directed trees and applications to database theory. Among others, we will show explicit keysystems on an underlying set of size $n$, that cannot be represented by a database of less than $2^{n(1-c\cdot \log ...

Shattered Sets and the Hilbert Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study complexity measures on subsets of the boolean hypercube and exhibit connections between algebra (the Hilbert function) and combinatorics (VC theory). These connections yield results in both directions.

Hypergraphs with infinitely many extremal constructions

open access: yesDiscrete Analysis, 2023
Hypergraphs with infinitely many extremal constructions, Discrete Analysis 2023:18, 34 pp. A fundamental result in extremal graph theory, Turán's theorem, states that the maximal number of edges of a graph with $n$ vertices that does not contain a ...

Pairwise Intersections and Forbidden Configurations [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
Let $f_m(a,b,c,d)$ denote the maximum size of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of an $m$-element set for which there is no pair of subsets $A,B \in \mathcal{F}$ with $|A \cap B| \geq a$, $|\bar{A} \cap B| \geq b$, $|A \cap \bar{B}| \geq c$, and $|\bar{A}

BPS counting for knots and combinatorics on words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We discuss relations between quantum BPS invariants defined in terms of a product decomposition of certain series, and difference equations (quantum A-polynomials) that annihilate such series.

A question of Bukh on sums of dilates

open access: yesDiscrete Analysis, 2021
A question of Bukh on sums of dilates, Discrete Analysis 2021:13, 21 pp. Let $A$ and $B$ be subsets of an Abelian group. Their sumset $A+B$ is defined to be the set of all $a+b$ such that $a\in A$ and $b\in B$.

Vertex-Facet Incidences of Unbounded Polyhedra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
How much of the combinatorial structure of a pointed polyhedron is contained in its vertex-facet incidences? Not too much, in general, as we demonstrate by examples. However, one can tell from the incidence data whether the polyhedron is bounded.
