Rank-based linkage I: triplet comparisons and oriented simplicial complexes

R. W. R. Darling, Will Grilliette, Adam Logan

Rank-based linkage is a new tool for summarizing a collection of objects according to their relationships. These objects are not mapped to vectors, and ``similarity'' between o…

Simplification for Graph-like Objects

Will Grilliette

The simplification of a multigraph into a simple graph can be abstracted to a more general comma category under some common conditions. When using the identity functor, the categor…

Incidence Hypergraphs: Box Products & the Laplacian

Will Grilliette, Lucas J. Rusnak

The box product and its associated box exponential are characterized for the categories of quivers (directed graphs), multigraphs, set system hypergraphs, and incidence hypergraphs…

Incidence Hypergraphs: Injectivity, Uniformity, and Matrix-tree Theorems

Will Grilliette, Josephine Reynes, Lucas J. Rusnak

An oriented hypergraph is an oriented incidence structure that allows for the generalization of graph theoretic concepts to integer matrices through its locally signed graphic subs…

Incidence hypergraphs: The categorical inconsistency of set-systems and a characterization of quiver exponentials

Will Grilliette, Lucas J. Rusnak

This paper considers the difficulty in the set-system approach to generalizing graph theory. These difficulties arise categorically as the category of set-system hypergraphs is sho…

A Functorial Link between Quivers and Hypergraphs

Will Grilliette

This paper discusses some issues arising from the category of hypergraphs, the category of (undirected) multigraphs, and the topos of q…
