Hamiltonian paths on the space of graphs
Disclaimer: I am not a professional graph theorist.
Motivation:
Let's consider the set $G_N$ of graphs with $N$ vertices where the vertices are assumed to be distinguishable. This set may correspon …

Given $H_{N}=\{\vec{x} \in [-1,1]^N:\sum_{i=1}^N x_i = 0\}$, what is the smallest subset $S ...
Motivation:
This is related to a different question I asked in April. It occurred to me while thinking about the sums of uniform random variables and it stuck in my mind because it's the special case …

Asymptotic estimate of the cardinality of $H_{2n}=\{\vec{a} \in [-N,N]^{2n}:\sum_{i=1}^{2n} ...
Let's suppose $a_i \sim \mathcal{U}([-N,N])$ where $[-N,N] \subset \mathbb{Z}$. We may then define:
\begin{equation}
S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i \tag{1}
\end{equation}
Now, in order to estimate $\lvert …

Understanding the geometry of $H_{n}=\{\vec{x} \in [-N,N]^n:\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = 0\}$
I am not an expert in convex geometry but if we define $a_i \sim \mathcal{U}([-N,N])$ where $[-N,N] \subset \mathbb{R}$ and $S_n = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i$ I suspect that for arbitrary $N \in [1, \infty) $:

Asymptotic formula for the number of connected graphs
It can be shown that the set of graphs with $N$ vertices $G_N$ has cardinality:
\begin{equation}
\lvert G_N \rvert = 2^{N \choose 2} \tag{1}
\end{equation}
Recently, I wondered how much bigger $\lv …

Asymptotic formula for the number of connected graphs
It turns out that my hypothesis (4) was completely wrong. Besides Example II.15 in Flajolet and Sedgewick, Analytic Combinatorics pointed out by Richard Stanley, another useful reference is The Asympt …

The number of Hamiltonian circuits on a convex polytope embedded in $\mathbb{R}^N$
Recently I wondered whether there might be a natural topological complexity measure for convex polytopes embedded in $\mathbb{R}^N$. After some reflection it occurred to me that the number of distinct …

Probability distributions with irregular behaviour
Might there be a probability distribution $\mathcal{D}$ such that if we sample $a_i \sim \mathcal{D}([-N,N])$ where $[-N,N] \subset \mathbb{Z}$ then if we define the asymptotic estimate $f$:
\begin{ …

The topological complexity of polytopes
Polytopes arise naturally when modelling fundamental structures in Biology such as RNA and proteins [1,2]. Recently, it occurred to me that a complexity measure on the topology of polytopes might be u …

The expressiveness of functions computable on trees
Motivation:
Let's define a function computable on a $k$-ary tree as a function composed with simpler computable functions defined at each node such that a function of this kind defined on a binary tre …
