We recall the notions of weak and strong Euler characteristics on a first order structure and make explicit the notion of a Grothendieck ring of a structure. We define partially or...
Let d(n) count the lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) using the steps (0,1), (1,0), and (1,1). Let e(n) count the lattice paths from (0, 0) to (n, n) with permitted steps from th...
The question of whether the characteristic polynomial of a simple graph is uniquely determined by the characteristic polynomials of its vertex-deleted subgraphs is one of the many...
A counterexample is presented to Gy. Elekes's conjecture concerning the existence of long 2-colored paths in properly colored graphs. A modified version of the conjecture is ...
The lattice of the set partitions of [n] ordered by refinement is studied. Suppose r partitions p1, . . . , pr are chosen independently and uniformly at random. The probability tha...
