Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1351-1368, June 2024. Abstract. 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.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
