Consider a connected r-regular n-vertex graph G with random independent edge lengths, each uniformly distributed on [0, 1]. Let mst(G) be the expected length of a minimum spanning...
The set R of relevant cycles of a graph G is the union of its minimum cycle bases. We introduce a partition of R such that each cycle in a class W can be expressed as a sum of oth...
A pairwise balanced design, B(K; v), is a block design on v points, with block sizes taken from K, and with every pair of points occurring in a unique block; for a fixed K, B(K) i...
We describe matrices whose determinants are the Jack polynomials expanded in terms of the monomial basis. The top row of such a matrix is a list of monomial functions, the entries...
We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to...
