Erdos-Hajnal conjecture for graphs with bounded VC-dimension
The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension (in short, VC-dimension) of a graph is defined as the VC-dimension of the set system induced by the neighborhoods of its vertices. We show that every $n$-vertex graph with bounded VC-dimension contains a clique or an independent set of size at least $e^{(\log n)^{1 - o(1)}}$. The depen...
\section{Introduction} During the relatively short history of computational geometry, there were many breakthroughs that originated from results in extremal combinatorics \cite{GRT17}. Range searching turned out to be closely related to discrepancy theory \cite{Ch00}, linear programming to McMullen's Upper Bound the...

Factorizations in evaluation monoids of Laurent semirings
For a positive real number $\alpha$, let $\mathbb{N}_0[\alpha,\alpha^{-1}]$ be the semiring of all real numbers $f(\alpha)$ for $f(x)$ lying in $\mathbb{N}_0[x,x^{-1}]$, which is the semiring of all Laurent polynomials over the set of nonnegative integers $\mathbb{N}_0$.

Restricted Dyck Paths on Valleys Sequence
In this paper we study a subfamily of a classic lattice path, the \emph{Dyck paths}, called \emph{restricted $d$-Dyck} paths, in short $d$-Dyck. A valley of a Dyck path $P$ is a local minimum of $P$; if the difference between the heights of two consecutive valleys (from left to right) is at least $d$, we say that $P$ i...
\section{Introduction} A classic concept, the \emph{Dyck paths}, has been widely studied. Recently, a subfamily of these paths, non-decreasing Dyck paths, has received certain level of interest due to the good behavior of its recursive relations and generating functions.

Enumerating $k$-Naples Parking Functions Through Catalan Objects
This paper studies a generalization of parking functions named $k$-Naples parking functions, where backward movement is allowed.

V\'{e}lu's formulae \cite{1} and the Weierstrass parameterization of the elliptic curve can be used to find an isogeny class. Thi...

String cohomology groups of complex projective spaces
Let X be a space and write LX for its free loop space equipped with the action of the circle group T given by dilation.
