Hamiltonian decompositions of complete k-uniform hypergraphs
Using a generalisation of Hamiltonian cycles to uniform hypergraphs due to Katona and Kierstead, we define a new notion of a Hamiltonian decomposition of a uniform hypergraph. We ...

Collineations and dualities of partial geometries
In this paper, we first prove some general results on the number of fixed points of collineations of finite partial geometries, and on the number of absolute points of dualities o...

Injective colorings of sparse graphs
Let Mad(G) denote the maximum average degree (over all subgraphs) of G and let i(G) denote the injective chromatic number of G. We prove that if Mad(G) 5 2 , then i(G) + 1; sim...

Knights, spies, games and ballot sequences
This paper solves the Knights and Spies Problem: In a room there are n people, each labelled with a unique number between 1 and n. A person may either be a knight or a spy. Knights...

On convexification of polygons by pops
Given a polygon P in the plane, a pop operation is the reflection of a vertex with respect to the line through its adjacent vertices. We define a family of alternating polygons, a...

Polynomial-time dualization of r-exact hypergraphs with applications in geometry
Let H 2V be a hypergraph on vertex set V . For a positive integer r, we call H r-exact, if any minimal transversal of H intersects any hyperedge of H in at most r vertices. This ...

Interpolating between bounds on the independence number
For a non-negative integer T, we prove that the independence number of a graph G = (V, E) in which every vertex belongs to at most T triangles is at least uV f(d(u), T) where d(u)...
