In this paper, we construct a new framework that’s we call the weighted [Formula: see text]-simplicial complex and we define its spectral gap. An upper bound for our spectral gap is given by generalizing the Cheeger constant. The lower bound for our spectral gap is obtained from the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian acting on the functions of certain weighted [Formula: see text]-simplicial complexes.

Abstract We consider the question of the largest possible combinatorial diameter among pure dimensional and strongly connected $$(d-1)$$ ( d - 1 ) -dimensional simplicial complexes on n vertices, denoted $$H_s(n, d)$$ H s ( n , d ) . Using a probabilistic construction we give a new lower bound on $$H_s(n, d)$$ H s ( n , d ) that is within an $$O(d^2)$$ O ( d 2 ) factor of the upper bound. This improves on the previously best known lower bound which was within a factor of $$e^{\varTheta (d)}$$ e Θ ( d ) of the upper bound. We also make a similar improvement in the case of pseudomanifolds.

We investigate the face numbers of simplicial complexes with Buchsbaum vertex links, especially pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. This includes deriving Dehn-Sommerville relations for pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities and establishing lower and upper bound theorems when the singularities are also homologically isolated. We give formulas for the Hilbert function of a generic Artinian reduction of the face ring when the singularities are homologically isolated and for any pure two-dimensional complex. Some examples of spaces where the $f$-vector can be completely characterized are described. We also show that the Hilbert function of a generic Artinian reduction of the face ring of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ with isolated singularities minus the $h$-vector of $\Delta$ is a PL-topological invariant.

In this paper, we study the regularity and the projective dimension of the Stanley–Reisner ring of a [Formula: see text]-decomposable simplicial complex and explain these invariants with a recursive formula. To this aim, the graded Betti numbers of decomposable monomial ideals which is the dual concept for [Formula: see text]-decomposable simplicial complexes are studied and an inductive formula for the Betti numbers is given. As a corollary, for a shellable simplicial complex [Formula: see text], a formula for the regularity of the Stanley–Reisner ring of [Formula: see text] is presented. Finally, for a chordal clutter [Formula: see text], an upper bound for [Formula: see text] is given in terms of the regularities of edge ideals of some chordal clutters which are minors of [Formula: see text].

Björner and Wachs generalized the definition of shellability by dropping the assumption of purity; they also introduced the $h$-triangle, a doubly-indexed generalization of the $h$-vector which is combinatorially significant for nonpure shellable complexes. Stanley subsequently defined a nonpure simplicial complex to be sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if it satisfies algebraic conditions that generalize the Cohen-Macaulay conditions for pure complexes, so that a nonpure shellable complex is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. We show that algebraic shifting preserves the $h$-triangle of a simplicial complex $K$ if and only if $K$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. This generalizes a result of Kalai's for the pure case. Immediate consequences include that nonpure shellable complexes and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay complexes have the same set of possible $h$-triangles.

AbstractWe offer a new method for proving that the maxima eigenvalue of the normalized graph Laplacian of a graph with n vertices is at least $$\frac{n+1}{n-1}$$ n + 1 n - 1 provided the graph is not complete and that equality is attained if and only if the complement graph is a single edge or a complete bipartite graph with both parts of size $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 . With the same method, we also prove a new lower bound to the largest eigenvalue in terms of the minimum vertex degree, provided this is at most $$\frac{n-1}{2}$$ n - 1 2 .

Using the equivariant Ljusternik-Schnirelmann theory and the estimate of the upper bound of the critical value and lower bound for the collision solutions, we obtain some new results in the large concerning multiple geometrically distinct periodic solutions of fixed energy for a class of planar N-body type problems.

This paper deals with the limit cycle bifurcations for piecewise smooth Hamiltonian systems. By using the first order Melnikov function of piecewise near-Hamiltonian systems given in [Liu & Han, 2010], we give a lower bound and an upper bound of the number of limit cycles that bifurcate from the period annulus between the center and the generalized eye-figure loop up to the first order of Melnikov function.

Letbe n linear forms with real coefficients and determinant Δ = ∥ aij∥ ≠ 0; and denote by M(X) the lower bound of | X1X2 … Xn| over all integer sets (u) ≠ (0). It is well known that γn, the upper bound of M(X)/|Δ| over all sets of forms Xi, is finite, and the value of γn has been determined when n = 2 and n = 3.

This paper is concerned with properties of the algebraic degree of the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of phase-type (PH) distributions. The main problem of interest is: given a PH generator, how do we find the maximum and the minimum algebraic degrees of all irreducible PH representations with that PH generator? Based on the matrix exponential (ME) order of ME distributions and the spectral polynomial algorithm, a method for computing the algebraic degree of a PH distribution is developed. The maximum algebraic degree is identified explicitly. Using Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matrices, a lower bound and an upper bound on the minimum algebraic degree are found, subject to some conditions. Explicit results are obtained for special cases.

AbstractWe consider the problem of encoding two-dimensional arrays, whose elements come from a total order, for answering $${\text{Top-}}{k}$$ Top- k queries. The aim is to obtain encodings that use space close to the information-theoretic lower bound, which can be constructed efficiently. For an $$m \times n$$ m × n array, with $$m \le n$$ m ≤ n , we first propose an encoding for answering 1-sided $${\textsf {Top}}{\text {-}}k{}$$ Top - k queries, whose query range is restricted to $$[1 \dots m][1 \dots a]$$ [ 1 ⋯ m ] [ 1 ⋯ a ] , for $$1 \le a \le n$$ 1 ≤ a ≤ n . Next, we propose an encoding for answering for the general (4-sided) $${\textsf {Top}}{\text {-}}k{}$$ Top - k queries that takes $$(m\lg {{(k+1)n \atopwithdelims ()n}}+2nm(m-1)+o(n))$$ ( m lg ( k + 1 ) n n + 2 n m ( m - 1 ) + o ( n ) ) bits, which generalizes the joint Cartesian tree of Golin et al. [TCS 2016]. Compared with trivial $$O(nm\lg {n})$$ O ( n m lg n ) -bit encoding, our encoding takes less space when $$m = o(\lg {n})$$ m = o ( lg n ) . In addition to the upper bound results for the encodings, we also give lower bounds on encodings for answering 1 and 4-sided $${\textsf {Top}}{\text {-}}k{}$$ Top - k queries, which show that our upper bound results are almost optimal.
