Propagation time for zero forcing on a graph
Zero forcing (also called graph infection) on a simple, undirected graph $G$ is based on the color-change rule: If each vertex of $G$ is colored either white or black, and vertex $v$ is a black vertex with only one white neighbor $w$, then change the color of $w$ to black. A minimum zero forcing set is a set of black v...
\section{Propagation time} All graphs are simple, finite, and undirected. In a graph $G$ where some vertices are colored black and the remaining vertices are colored white, the {\em color change rule} is: If $v$ is black and $w$ is the only white neighbor of $v$, then change the color of $w$ to black; if we apply th...

Seymour's Second Neighborhood Conjecture for Subsets of Vertices
Seymour conjectured that every oriented simple graph contains a vertex whose second neighborhood is at least as large as its first.

\section{Introduction} Unless otherwise noted, all digraphs in this paper are oriented simple graphs, and thus do not contain loops or two-cycles. We will use $V(D)$ to denote the set of vertices of a digraph $D$. Given a digraph $D$ and vertices $u$ and $v$, let $d(u, v)$ be the length of the shortest directed pa...

Digits of pi: limits to the seeming randomness

A comprehensive study of non-adaptive and residual-based adaptive sampling for physics-informed neural networks
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have shown to be an effective tool for solving forward and inverse problems of partial differential equations (PDEs). PINNs embed the PDEs into the loss of the neural network, and this PDE loss is evaluated at a set of scattered residual points. The distribution of these points ...

An Introduction to the Discharging Method via Graph Coloring
We provide a "how-to" guide to the use and application of the Discharging Method. Our aim is not to exhaustively survey results proved by this technique, but rather to demystify the technique and facilitate its wider use, using applications in graph coloring as examples. Along the way, we present some new proofs and ne...
\section{Introduction} The Discharging Method has been used in graph theory for more than 100 years. Its most famous application is the proof of the Four Color Theorem, stating that graphs embeddable in the plane have chromatic number at most $4$. Nevetheless, the method remains a mystery to many graph theorists. Our ...

The extended Frobenius problem for Fibonacci sequences incremented by a Fibonacci number
We study the extended Frobenius problem for sequences of the form $\{f_a+f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\{f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is the Fibonacci sequence and $f_a$ is a Fibonacci number. As a consequence, we show that the family of numerical semigroups associated to these sequences satisfies the Wilf's conjecture.

The generalized Taylor series approach is not equivalent to the homotopy analysis method
In recent work on the area of approximation methods for the solution of nonlinear differential equations, it has been suggested that the so-called generalized Taylor series approach is equivalent to the homotopy analysis method. In the present paper, we demonstrate that such a view is only valid in very special cases, ...

Gradient flows, adjoint orbits, and the topology of totally nonnegative flag varieties
One can view a partial flag variety in $\mathbb{C}^n$ as an adjoint orbit $\mathcal{O}_\lambda$ inside the Lie algebra of $n \times n$ skew-Hermitian matrices. We use the orbit context to study the totally nonnegative part of a partial flag variety from an algebraic, geometric, and dynamical perspective. The paper has ...

Visibility-preserving convexifications using single-vertex moves
Devadoss asked: (1) can every polygon be convexified so that no internal visibility (between vertices) is lost in the process? Moreover, (2) does such a convexification exist, in which exactly one vertex is moved at a time (that is, using {\em single-vertex moves})? We prove the redundancy of the "single-vertex moves" ...
\section{Introduction} The problem of {\em convexifying} a polygon (that is, continuously transforming it, while maintaining simplicity) is a classical, well-studied problem in computational geometry. Different restrictions on the transformations allowed give rise to several versions of this problem. In the most famo...

Counting Partitions on the Abacus
