Minimum vertex covers and the spectrum of the normalized Laplacian on trees

Hao Chen, Jürgen Jost

We show that, in the graph spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian on trees, the eigenvalue 1 and eigenvalues near 1 are strongly related to minimum vertex covers. In particular…

Generic combinatorial rigidity of periodic frameworks

Justin Malestein, Louis Theran

We give a combinatorial characterization of generic minimal rigidity for planar periodic frameworks. The characterization is a true analogue of the Maxwell-Laman Theorem from rigid…

Paths of homomorphisms from stable Kneser graphs

Carsten Schultz

We denote by SG_{n,k} the stable Kneser graph (Schrijver graph) of stable n-subsets of a set of cardinality 2n+k. For k congruent 3 (mod 4) and n\ge2 we show that there is a compon…

The Local Lemma is asymptotically tight for SAT

Heidi Gebauer, Tibor Szabo, Gabor Tardos

The Local Lemma is a fundamental tool of probabilistic combinatorics and theoretical computer science, yet there are hardly any natural problems known where it provides an asymptot…

A quantitative version of Steinhaus' theorem for compact, connected, rank-one symmetric spaces

Fernando Mário de Oliveira Filho, Frank Vallentin

Let , , ... be a sequence of positive numbers that converges to zero. A generalization of Steinhaus' theorem due to Weil implies that, if a subset of a homogeneous Rieman…

Bounds on the Coefficients of Tension and Flow Polynomials

Felix Breuer, Aaron Dall

The goal of this article is to obtain bounds on the coefficients of modular and integral flow and tension polynomials of graphs. To this end we make use of the fact that these poly…
