A short survey on stable polynomials, orientations and matchings
This is a short survey about the theory of stable polynomials and its applications. It gives self-contained proofs of two theorems of Schrijver. One...

On a hypergraph probabilistic graphical model
We propose a directed acyclic hypergraph framework for a probabilistic graphical model that we call Bayesian hypergraphs . The space of directed...

One-factorisations of complete graphs arising from hyperbolae in the Desarguesian affine plane
In a recent paper Korchmáros et al. (J Combin Theory Ser A 160:62–83,
2018 ) the geometry of finite planes is exploited for the construction of... -
Perfect matchings in random intersection graphs
Let W 1 ,…, W n be independent random subsets of [ m ]={1,…, m }. Assuming that each W i is uniformly distributed in the class of d -subsets of [ m ] we study...

Foolproof eternal domination in the all-guards move model
The eternal domination problem requires a graph be protected against an infinitely long sequence of attacks at vertices, by guards located at...

Rates of convergence for partial mass problems
We consider a class of partial mass problems in which a fraction of the mass of a probability measure is allowed to be changed (trimmed) to maximize...

Small Edge Sets Meeting all Triangles of a Graph
It was conjectured in 1981 by the third author that if a graph G does not contain more than t pairwise edge-disjoint triangles, then there exists a...

Applications of Perfect Matchings in Chemistry
Perfect matchings or one factors in mathematics correspond to Kekulé structures in chemistry. In this chapter, we present methods for determination... -
Partitions of Graphs
Many difficult optimization problems on graphs become tractable when restricted to some classes of graphs, usually to hereditary classes. A large... -
Decompositions and Factorizations of Complete Graphs
Graph decompositions into isomorphic copies of a given graph are a well-established topic studied in both graph theory and design theory. Although... -
Domination in Graphs
A set of vertices S in a graph G dominates G if every vertex in G is either in S or adjacent to a vertex in S. The size of any smallest dominating... -
Graph Polynomials and Their Applications II: Interrelations and Interpretations
We survey a variety of graph polynomials, giving a brief overview of techniques for defining a graph polynomial and then for decoding the... -
Lee–Yang Problems and the Geometry of Multivariate Polynomials
We describe all linear operators on spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing in open circular domains. This...

The Lee-Yang and Pólya-Schur programs. I. Linear operators preserving stability
In 1952 Lee and Yang proposed the program of analyzing phase transitions in terms of zeros of partition functions. Linear operators preserving...

Coverings of the Vertices of a Graph by Small Cycles
Given a graph G with n vertices, we call c k ( G ) the minimum number of elementary cycles of length at most k necessary to cover the vertices of G . We...

On the Generalization of the Matroid Parity Problem
Let T 1, T 2, ..., T t be disjoint κ-element sets and let their union be denoted by S. Let A be a subset of... -
Excessive Factorizations of Regular Graphs
An excessive factorization of a graph G is a minimum set F of 1-factors of G whose union is E(G). In this paper we study excessive factorizations of... -
Structural Remarks on Bipartite Graphs with Unique f-Factors
In this note we will derive some structural results for a bipartite graph G with a unique f -factor. Two necessary conditions will be that G is...

Global Connectivity And Expansion: Long Cycles and Factors In f-Connected Graphs
Given a function f : ℕ→ℝ, call an n -vertex graph f -connected if separating off k vertices requires the deletion of at least f ( k ) vertices whenever k ≤(
