چکیده

An arrangement of the multi-set {1,1,2,2, . . . , n, n} is said to be “split-pair” if for all i < n, between the two occurrences of i there is exactly one i + 1. We enumerate the number of split-pair arrangements and in particular show that the number of such arrangements is (−1)n+12n(22n − 1)B2n where Bi is the ith Bernoulli number. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Let S be a set of n points in D-dimensional space, where D is a constant, and let k be an integer between 1 and (~). An algorithm is given that computes the k closest pairs in the set S in O(nlogn+k) time, using O(n+k) space. The . algorithm fits in the algebraic decision tree model and is, therefore, optimal.

Basis Enumeration of Hyperplane Arrangements Up to Symmetries

This thesis details a method of enumerating bases of hyperplane arrangements up to symmetries. I consider here automorphisms, geometric symmetries which leave the set of all points contained in the arrangement setwise invariant. The algorithm for basis enumeration described in this thesis is a backtracking search over the adjacency graph implied on the bases by minimum-ratio simplex pivots, pru...

Enumerating Cut Conjunctions in Graphs and Related Problems

LetG = (V,E) be an undirected graph, and letB ⊆ V ×V be a collection of vertex pairs. We give an incremental polynomial time algorithm to enumerate all minimal edge sets X ⊆ E such that every vertex pair (s, t) ∈ B is disconnected in (V,ErX), generalizing well-known efficient algorithms for enumerating all minimal s-t cuts, for a given pair s, t ∈ V of vertices. We also present an incremental p...

Enumerating Row Arrangements of Three Species

This problem nicely illustrates the use of factorials and has a simple solution, though students often neglect the factor of two in the answer 2(N !)2. This omission can be instructive, as it leads naturally to generalizations of the problem: How does the answer change if there are N men and N − 1 women? What if men outnumber women by 2 or more? What if a sexist photographer insists that the li...

Computing the Tutte polynomial of a hyperplane arrangement

We define and study the Tutte polynomial of a hyperplane arrangement. We introduce a method for computing it by solving an enumerative problem in a finite field. For specific arrangements, the computation of Tutte polynomials is then reduced to certain related enumerative questions. As a consequence, we obtain new formulas for the generating functions enumerating alternating trees, labelled tre...
