We express the matroid polytope PM of a matroid M as a signed Minkowski sum of simplices, and obtain a formula for the volume of PM . This gives a combinatorial expression for the...
Abstract. The subset sum problem over finite fields is a well known NPcomplete problem. It arises naturally from decoding generalized Reed-Solomon codes. In this paper, we study th...
We study cubature formulas on relatively small scattered samples in the unit square, obtained by integrating radial basis function (RBF) interpolants. Numerical tests show that, d...
We observe that a formula given by S. Negami [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 299 (1987), 601-622] for the Tutte polynomial of a k-sum of two graphs generalizes to a colored Tutte polynom...
Locality is a standard notion of finite model theory. There are two well known flavors of it, based on Hanf's and Gaifman's theorems. Essentially they say that structure...
