Random independent sets in triangle-free and linear Berge--free hypergraphs

Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang

We study probability distributions on independent sets of uniform hypergraphs with local constraints. For a positive vertex-weight function on an -uniform hypergraph, de…

Bounded Twin-Width Tournaments are $\dchi$-Bounded

Chaoliang Tang, Junchi Zhang

For a tournament and a vertex ordering , let be the graph of backward arcs in . The diclique number of a tournament is $\domega(T)=\min_{\prec}ω(T^{\p…

Real-analytic finitely forcible kernels

Junchi Zhang

Lovász and Szegedy asked whether a nonconstant continuous, or even smooth, finitely forcible kernel exists. For every , we construct an explicit nonconstant real-anal…

Infinitesimal finite forcibility and step kernels

Xichao Shu, Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang

We characterize infinitesimal finite forcibility for bounded symmetric real kernels. We prove that the graph-density gradients at a kernel span a finite-dimensional space if and on…

On independent sets in uncrowded uniform hypergraphs

Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang

We prove an average-degree lower bound on the independence number of uncrowded uniform hypergraphs. For every fixed and every , there exists such that…

The list coloring number of uncrowded hypergraphs

Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang

We prove that for every fixed integer and every , every sufficiently large finite uncrowded -uniform hypergraph of maximum degree has list chrom…

Submodular flows and extreme flows on measurable spaces

Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang, Mingyang Zhou

The theory of submodular flows, introduced by Edmonds and Giles, is a cornerstone of combinatorial optimization, unifying network flows, matroid intersections and directed cut cove…

Hypergraph independence bounds: from maximum degree to average degree

Jing Yu, Junchi Zhang

We prove a transfer theorem for hereditary classes of -uniform hypergraphs. Let be such a class, and for write and for the maximu…

The linear Turán number of the 3-graph

Chaoliang Tang, Hehui Wu, Junchi Zhang

We prove that for any linear 3-graph on vertices without a path of length 5, the number of edges is at most , and the equality holds if and only if the graph is…

New lower bounds on the non-repetitive chromatic number of some graphs

Tianyi Tao, Junchi Zhang, Wentao Zhang +1

A graph \( G \) is said to be (vertex) non-repetitively colored if no simple path in \( G \) has a sequence of vertex colors that forms a repetition. Formally, a coloring \( c: V(G…

On 1-11-representability and multi-1-11-representability of graphs

Mohammed Alshammari, Sergey Kitaev, Chaoliang Tang +2

Jeff Remmel introduced the concept of a -11-representable graph in 2017. This concept was first explored by Cheon et al. in 2019, who considered it as a natural extension of wor…
