Coordinate compression in a product of paths Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Coordinate compression in direction replaces every -section of a subset of by the initial segment of the simplicial order on a grid having the same size. Assuming the vertex-isoperimetric theorem one dimension lower, this operation preserves cardinality and does not increase the external vertex boundary.

For positive , is outgoing on both sides of and obeys
Causal Green function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A causal Green function vanishes before the source time and has the derivative jump required by a delta source.
Let solve with and . For Neumann boundary conditions, the Green function is
where . The derivative jump is one. If , the Abel identity makes constant and symmetric.

It is continuous at zero and has derivative jump .
Bipartite vertex cover Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
König's theorem equates the minimum vertex-cover size of a bipartite graph with its maximum matching size.
Menger theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
The maximum number of disjoint paths joining two vertex sets equals the minimum size of a separating set, with vertex and edge versions according to the chosen notion of disjointness.
Complement graph Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-20
The complement of a simple graph has exactly the edges absent from the original graph; a vertex of degree acquires degree .

Strongly regular graph Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A strongly regular graph has constant degree and fixed common-neighbour counts for adjacent and nonadjacent vertex pairs.
Longest-path rotation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
If an endpoint of a longest path is adjacent to an internal vertex, replacing the incident path edge by that chord produces another longest path with the same vertex set and a new endpoint. Every neighbour of every endpoint obtained this way must remain on the original path.
This rotation technique is used in arguments surrounding Pósa's theorem and other Hamiltonian cycle criteria.
Ramsey theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Every sufficiently large graph contains either a prescribed clique or a prescribed independent set.
Antichain Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
An antichain is a family of sets no one of which contains another.
