Horn functions form a subclass of Boolean functions possessing interesting structural and computational properties. These functions play a fundamental role in algebra, artificial intelligence, combinatorics, computer science, database theory, and logic. In the present paper, we introduce the subclass of hypergraph Horn functions that generalizes matroids and equivalence relations. We provide multiple characterizations of hypergraph Horn functions in terms of implicate-duality and the closure operator, which are, respectively, regarded as generalizations of matroid duality and the Mac Lane–Steinitz exchange property of matroid closure. We also study algorithmic issues on hypergraph Horn functions and show that the recognition problem (i.e., deciding if a given definite Horn CNF represents a hypergraph Horn function) and key realization (i.e., deciding if a given hypergraph is realized as a key set by a hypergraph Horn function) can be done in polynomial time, while implicate sets can be generated with polynomial delay.","PeriodicalId":49530,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140833156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we strengthen a result by Green about an analogue of Sárközy’s theorem in the setting of polynomial rings [math]. In the integer setting, for a given polynomial [math] with constant term zero, (a generalization of) Sárközy’s theorem gives an upper bound on the maximum size of a subset [math] that does not contain distinct [math] satisfying [math] for some [math].

It is known that any open necklace with beads of [math] types, in which the number of beads of each type is divisible by [math], can be partitioned by at most [math] cuts into intervals that can be distributed into [math] collections, each containing the same number of beads of each type. This is tight for all values of [math] and [math]. Here, we consider the case of random necklaces, where the number of beads of each type is [math]. Then the minimum number of cuts required for a “fair” partition with the above property is a random variable [math]. We prove that for fixed [math] and large [math], this random variable is at least [math] with high probability. For [math], fixed [math], and large [math], we determine the asymptotic behavior of the probability that [math] for all values of [math]. We show that this probability is polynomially small when [math], is bounded away from zero when [math], and decays like [math] when [math].

Many important problems in extremal combinatorics can be stated as certifying polynomial inequalities in graph homomorphism numbers, and in particular, many ask to certify pure binomial inequalities. For a fixed collection of graphs [math], the tropicalization of the graph profile of [math] essentially records all valid pure binomial inequalities involving graph homomorphism numbers for graphs in [math]. Building upon ideas and techniques described by Blekherman and Raymond in 2022, we compute the tropicalization of the graph profile for the graph containing a single vertex as well as stars where one edge is subdivided. This allows pure binomial inequalities in homomorphism numbers (or densities) for these graphs to be verified through an explicit linear program where the number of variables is equal to the number of edges in the biggest graph involved.","PeriodicalId":49530,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140806478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The voter model is a classical interacting particle system, modeling how global consensus is formed by local imitation. We analyze the time to consensus for a particular family of voter models when the underlying structure is a scale-free inhomogeneous random graph in the high edge–density regime, where this graph features a giant component. In this regime, we verify that the polynomial orders of consensus agree with those of their mean-field approximation in [A. Moinet, A. Barrat, and R. Pastor-Satorras, Phys. Rev. E, 98 (2018), 022303]. This “discursive” family of models has a symmetrized interaction to better model discussions and is indexed by a temperature parameter that, for certain parameters of the power law tail of the network’s degree distribution, is seen to produce two distinct phases of consensus speed. Our proofs rely on the well-known duality to coalescing random walks and a novel bound on the mixing time of these walks using the known fast mixing of the Erdős–Rényi giant subgraph. Unlike in the subcritical case [J. Fernley and M. Ortgiese, Random Structures Algorithms, 62 (2023), pp. 376–429], which requires tail exponent of the limiting degree distribution [math] as well as low edge density, in the giant component case, we also address the “ultrasmall world” power law exponents [math].","PeriodicalId":49530,"journal":{"name":"SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140614800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
