Limits of Latin squares

open access: yesDiscrete Analysis, 2023
Limits of Latin squares, Discrete Analysis 2023:8, 66 pp. There has been a great deal of work over the last fifteen to twenty years on the theme of continuous limits of discrete combinatorial objects. In particular, any sequence of graphs of increasing

Combinatorial Optimization: Between Practice and Theory

open access: yesDiscrete Applied Mathematics, 2019
Suppose we have a set S of baseball teams and up to this point in the season, each team x ∈ S has won wx games. Through the remainder of the season every pair of teams x, y ∈ S must still play gxy games against each other.

From Nash Equilibria to Chain Recurrent Sets: An Algorithmic Solution Concept for Game Theory

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
In 1950, Nash proposed a natural equilibrium solution concept for games hence called Nash equilibrium, and proved that all finite games have at least one.

Larger Corner-Free Sets from Better NOF Exactly-$N$ Protocols

open access: yesDiscrete Analysis, 2021
Larger corner-free sets from better NOF exactly-$N$ protocols, Discrete Analysis 2021:19, 9 pp. If $G$ is an Abelian group, then a _corner_ in $G^2$ is a subset of the form $\{(x,y),(x+d,y),(x,y+d)\}$ with $d\ne 0$.

On Structural Parameterizations of Hitting Set: Hitting Paths in Graphs Using 2-SAT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hitting Set is a classic problem in combinatorial optimization. Its input consists of a set system F over a finite universe U and an integer t; the question is whether there is a set of t elements that intersects every set in F.

Constraint Answer Set Programming without Grounding [PDF]

open access: yesTheory and Practice of Logic Programming, 2018
Extending ASP with constraints (CASP) enhances its expressiveness and performance. This extension is not straightforward as the grounding phase, present in most ASP systems, removes variables and the links among them, and also causes a combinatorial ...

Place-difference-value patterns: A generalization of generalized permutation and word patterns

open access: yes, 2009
Motivated by study of Mahonian statistics, in 2000, Babson and Steingrimsson introduced the notion of a "generalized permutation pattern" (GP) which generalizes the concept of "classical" permutation pattern introduced by Knuth in 1969.

Nonlocal, noncommutative diagrammatics and the linked cluster Theorems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Recent developments in quantum chemistry, perturbative quantum field theory, statistical physics or stochastic differential equations require the introduction of new families of Feynman-type diagrams. These new families arise in various ways.

Recovering General Relativity from a Planck Scale Discrete Theory of Quantum Gravity

open access: yesPhilosophy of Physics
An argument is presented that if a theory of quantum gravity is physically discrete at the Planck scale and the theory recovers General Relativity as an approximation, then, at the current stage of our knowledge, causal sets must arise within the theory,

Products of Menger spaces: A combinatorial approach [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Pure and Applied Logic, 2016
We construct Menger subsets of the real line whose product is not Menger in the plane. In contrast to earlier constructions, our approach is purely combinatorial.
