Disjoint compatibility graph of non-crossing matchings of points in convex position
Let be a set of labeled points in convex position in the plane.
We consider geometric non-intersecting straight-line perfect matchings of
. Two such matchings, and , are disjoint compatible if they do
not have common edges, and no edge of crosses an edge of . Denote by
the graph whose vertices correspond to such matchings, and two
vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding matchings are disjoint
compatible. We show that for each , the connected components of
form exactly three isomorphism classes -- namely, there is a
certain number of isomorphic small components, a certain number of isomorphic
medium components, and one big component. The number and the structure of small
and medium components is determined precisely.Comment: 46 pages, 30 figure
On \pi-surfaces of four-dimensional parallelohedra
We show that every four-dimensional parallelohedron P satisfies a recently
found condition of Garber, Gavrilyuk & Magazinov sufficient for the Voronoi
conjecture being true for P. Namely we show that for every four-dimensional
parallelohedron P the group of rational first homologies of its \pi-surface is
generated by half-belt cycles.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure
Guarding curvilinear art galleries with edge or mobile guards via 2-dominance of triangulation graphs
AbstractIn this paper we consider the problem of monitoring an art gallery modeled as a polygon, the edges of which are arcs of curves, with edge or mobile guards. Our focus is on piecewise-convex polygons, i.e., polygons that are locally convex, except possibly at the vertices, and their edges are convex arcs.We transform the problem of monitoring a piecewise-convex polygon to the problem of 2-dominating a properly defined triangulation graph with edges or diagonals, where 2-dominance requires that every triangle in the triangulation graph has at least two of its vertices in its 2-dominating set. We show that: (1) ⌊n+13⌋ diagonal guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary, and (2) ⌊2n+15⌋ edge guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary, in order to 2-dominate a triangulation graph. Furthermore, we show how to compute: (1) a diagonal 2-dominating set of size ⌊n+13⌋ in linear time and space, (2) an edge 2-dominating set of size ⌊2n+15⌋ in O(n2) time and O(n) space, and (3) an edge 2-dominating set of size ⌊3n7⌋ in O(n) time and space.Based on the above-mentioned results, we prove that, for piecewise-convex polygons, we can compute: (1) a mobile guard set of size ⌊n+13⌋ in O(nlogn) time, (2) an edge guard set of size ⌊2n+15⌋ in O(n2) time, and (3) an edge guard set of size ⌊3n7⌋ in O(nlogn) time. All space requirements are linear. Finally, we show that ⌊n3⌋ mobile or ⌈n3⌉ edge guards are sometimes necessary.When restricting our attention to monotone piecewise-convex polygons, the bounds mentioned above drop: ⌈n+14⌉ edge or mobile guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary; such an edge or mobile guard set, of size at most ⌈n+14⌉, can be computed in O(n) time and space
Brick polytopes, lattice quotients, and Hopf algebras
This paper is motivated by the interplay between the Tamari lattice, J.-L.
Loday's realization of the associahedron, and J.-L. Loday and M. Ronco's Hopf
algebra on binary trees. We show that these constructions extend in the world
of acyclic -triangulations, which were already considered as the vertices of
V. Pilaud and F. Santos' brick polytopes. We describe combinatorially a natural
surjection from the permutations to the acyclic -triangulations. We show
that the fibers of this surjection are the classes of the congruence
on defined as the transitive closure of the rewriting rule for letters
and words on . We then
show that the increasing flip order on -triangulations is the lattice
quotient of the weak order by this congruence. Moreover, we use this surjection
to define a Hopf subalgebra of C. Malvenuto and C. Reutenauer's Hopf algebra on
permutations, indexed by acyclic -triangulations, and to describe the
product and coproduct in this algebra and its dual in term of combinatorial
operations on acyclic -triangulations. Finally, we extend our results in
three directions, describing a Cambrian, a tuple, and a Schr\"oder version of
these constructions.Comment: 59 pages, 32 figure
