The size of the giant high‐order component in random hypergraphs

The phase transition in the size of the giant component in random graphs is one of the most well‐studied phenomena in random graph theory. For hypergraphs, there are many possible generalizations of the notion of a connected component. We consider the following: two j‐sets (sets of j vertices) are j‐connected if there is a walk of edges between them such that two consecutive edges intersect in at least j vertices. A hypergraph is j‐connected if all j‐sets are pairwise j‐connected. In this paper, we determine the asymptotic size of the unique giant j‐connected component in random k‐uniform hypergraphs for any and .     

On the Connectedness of Probabilistic Constraint Sets

We prove a result on the connectedness of (abstract) probabilistic constraints P(h(x,)0)p without any assumption on the distribution of . An application to storage level constraints is discussed briefly. Illustrating examples are provided and a simple criterion for the required condition is given in the case of linear h.     

A Survey on Topological Properties of Tiles Related to Number Systems

In the present paper we give an overview of topological properties of self-affine tiles. After reviewing some basic results on self-affine tiles and their boundary we give criteria for their local connectivity and connectivity. Furthermore, we study the connectivity of the interior of a family of tiles associated to quadratic number systems and give results on their fundamental group. If a self-affine tile tessellates the space the structure of the set of its ‘neighbors’ is discussed.     

Connectedness of Cone-Efficient Solution Set for Cone-Quasiconvex Multiobjective Programming in Locally Convex Spaces

This paper deals with the connectedness of the cone-efficient solution set for vector optimization inlocally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces.The connectedness of the cone-efficient solution set is provedfor multiobjective programming defined by a continuous cone-quasiconvex mapping on a compact convex set ofalternatives.The generalized saddle theorem plays a key role in the proof.     

On the deformation of linear r-fields

We study the question: For which (r,n) can a linear r-field on the (n-1)-sphere in an n-dimensional real linear space be deformed through a continuous path of linear r-fields into an orthonormal r-field. We provide complete answers for the cases: (r,n)=(2,4),(3,4), and provide several partial results for the cases (r,n)=(2,2m), where m is an even integer satisfying m4. Characterizations of linear r-fields are pivotal in the investigation.     

A Note on the Connectedness of the Invertible Group of a Nest Algebra

The connectedness of the invertibles question for arbitrary nest has been reduced to the case of the lower triangular operators with respect to a fixed orthonormal basis en for n 1. For each f ∈ H∞, let Tf be the Toeplitz operator. In this paper we prove that Tf can be connected to the identity through a path in the invertible group of the lower triangular operators if f satisfies certain conditions.     

Connectedness of curve complex of surface

For a closed orientable surface Sg of genus not smaller than 2,C(Sg) is the curve complex on S g whose vertices consist of the isotopy classes of nontrivial circles on Sg. It has been showed that any two vertices in C(Sg) can be connected by an edge path,and C(Sg) has an infinite diameter. We show that for 0 ≤i≤3g-5,two i-simplices can be connected by an(i +1)-path in C(Sg),and the diameter of C(Sg) under such a distance is infinite.     

Simple connectedness of hyperplane complements in some geometries related to buildings

For a class of parapolar spaces that includes the geometries E6,4, E7,7, and E8,1 with lines of size at least three, the metasymplectic spaces with lines of size at least four, and the polar line Grassmannians with lines of size at least four except D4,2(3), we show that the subgraph of the point-collinearity graph induced on the complement of a hyperplane is simply connected. We also show that these parapolar spaces have Veldkamp lines.     

Contractibility and Connectedness of Efficient Point Sets

Using the technique of space theory and set-valued analysis, we establish contractibility results for efficient point sets in a locally convex space and a path connectedness result for a positive proper efficient point set in a reflexive space. We also prove a connectedness result for a positive proper efficient point set in a locally convex space; as an application, we give a connectedness result for an efficient solution set in a locally convex space.
