On the Complexity of Computing Winning Strategies for Finite Poset Games
This paper is concerned with the complexity of computing winning strategies for poset games. While it is reasonably clear that such strategies can be computed in PSPACE, we give a ...

Word maps and spectra of random graph lifts
We study here the spectra of random lifts of graphs. Let G be a finite connected graph, and let the infinite tree T be its universal cover space. If λ1 and ρ are the spectral ...

Stochastic Search in a Forest Revisited
We consider a generalization of the model of stochastic search in an out-forest, introduced and studied by Denardo, Rothblum, and Van der Heyden [1]. We provide a simple proof of ...

A simple proof of Suzumura's extension theorem for finite domains with applications
Abstract. In this paper we provide a simple proof of the extension theorem for partial orderings due to Suzumura [1983] when the domain of the partial order is finite. The extensio...

On-line bipartite matching made simple
We examine the classic on-line bipartite matching problem studied by Karp, Vazirani, and Vazirani [8] and provide a simple proof of their result that the Ranking algorithm for thi...

Geometric graphs with no two parallel edges
We give a simple proof for a theorem of Katchalski, Last, and Valtr, asserting that the maximum number of edges in a geometric graph G on n vertices with no pair of parallel edges...

Centerpoints and Tverberg's technique
Using a technique that Tverberg and Vrecica [TV93] discovered to give a surprisingly simple proof of Tverberg's theorem, we show the following extension of the centerpoint th...

All triangulations are reachable via sequences of edge-flips: an elementary proof
A simple proof is provided for the fact that the set of all possible triangulations of a planar point set in a polygonal domain is closed under the basic diagonal flip operation.

Bisets as Categories and Tensor Product of Induced Bimodules
: Bisets can be considered as categories. This note uses this point of view to give a simple proof of a Mackey-like formula expressing the tensor product of two induced bimodules. ...
