Shelling the coset poset
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...

Independence for partition regular equations
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...

Partition identities and Ramanujan's modular equations
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...

Improved Delsarte bounds for spherical codes in small dimensions
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...

On the largest eigenvalue of non-regular graphs
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...

Codegree problems for projective geometries
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...

Generating bricks
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...

Large independent sets in regular graphs of large girth
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 → ∞,...

Laplacian spectral bounds for clique and independence numbers of graphs
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...
