It is shown that the coset lattice of a finite group has shellable order complex if and only if the group is complemented. Furthermore, the coset lattice is shown to have a Cohen...
A matrix A is said to be partition regular (PR) over a subset S of the positive integers if whenever S is finitely coloured, there exists a vector x, with all elements in the sam...
We show that certain modular equations and theta function identities of Ramanujan imply elegant partition identities. Several of the identities are for t-cores. Key Words: partitio...
ABSTRACT. We present an extension of the Delsarte linear programming method for spherical codes. For several dimensions it yields improved upper bounds including some new bounds on...
We study the spectral radius of connected non-regular graphs. Let λ1(n,Δ) be the maximum spectral radius among all connected non-regular graphs with n vertices and maximum degre...
The codegree density γ(F) of an r-graph F is the largest number γ such that there are F-free r-graphs G on n vertices such that every set of r−1 vertices is contained in at le...
A brick is a 3-connected graph such that the graph obtained from it by deleting any two distinct vertices has a perfect matching. The importance of bricks stems from the fact that...
Let G be a d-regular graph with girth g, and let α be the independence number of G. We show that α(G) ≥ 1 2 1 − (d − 1)−2/(d−2) − (g) n where (g) → 0 as g → ∞,...
Let G be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. Let ω(G) and α(G) be the numbers of vertices of the largest clique and the largest independent set in G, respectively. In th...
