On the Homotopy Type of the Polyhedral Join over the Independence Complex of a Forest
Kengo Okura
We consider a certain class of simplicial complexes which includes the independence complexes of forests. We show that if a simplicial complex belongs to this class, then the p…

Shellability of Polyhedral Joins of Simplicial Complexes and Its Application to Graph Theory
Kengo Okura
We investigate the shellability of the polyhedral join of simplicial complexes and a subcomplex . We give sufficient conditions and nec…

Independence Complex of the Lexicographic Product of a Forest
Kengo Okura
We study the independence complex of the lexicographic product of a forest and a graph . We prove that for a forest which is not dominated by a single vertex, if…

Simple homotopy types of independence complexes of graphs involving grid graphs
Kengo Okura
We show that if a graph involves a certain square grid graph as a full subgraph, then a certain operation on it yields a simplicial suspension of the independence complex of $G…
