: Sparse graphs and their associated matroids play an important role in rigidity theory, where they capture the combinatorics of some families of generic minimally rigid structures...
In phylogenetic analysis, a standard problem is to approximate a given metric by an additive metric. Here it is shown that, given a metric D defined on some finite set X and a non...
Wh-phrases in English have two important properties: first, they can appear both raised and in-situ; second, while in-situ wh-phrases can take semantic scope beyond the immediately...
The SQAP-polytope was associated to quadratic assignment problems with a certain symmetric objective function structure by Rijal (1995) and Padberg and Rijal (1996). We derive a te...
In this paper we approach the problem of computing the characteristic polynomial of a matrix from the combinatorial viewpoint. We present several combinatorial characterizations of...
