We study words on a finite alphabet avoiding a finite collection of patterns. Given a pattern p in which every letter that occurs in p occurs at least twice, we show that the nu...

We study a popular pencil-and-paper game called morpion solitaire. We present upper and lower bounds for the maximum score attainable for many versions of the game. We also show t...

We give a fully polynomial randomized approximation scheme to compute a lower bound for the matching polynomial of any weighted graph at a positive argument. For the matching poly...
