This paper addresses the problem of finding minimum forcing sets in origami. The origami material folds flat along straight lines called creases that can be labeled as mountains or valleys. A forcing set is a subset of creases that force all the other creases to fold according to their labels. The result is a flat folding of the origami material. In this paper we develop a linear time algorithm that finds minimum forcing sets in one dimensional origami.

We develop an intrinsic necessary and sufficient condition for single-vertex origami crease patterns to be able to fold rigidly. We classify such patterns in the case where the creases are pre-assigned to be mountains and valleys as well as in the unassigned case. We also illustrate the utility of this result by applying it to the new concept of minimal forcing sets for rigid origami models, which are the smallest collection of creases that, when folded, will force all the other creases to fold in a prescribed way.
In the distributional Twenty Questions game, Bob chooses a number $x$ from $1$ to $n$ according to a distribution $mu$, and Alice (who knows $mu$) attempts to identify $x$ using Yes/No questions, which Bob answers truthfully. Her goal is to minimize the expected number of questions. The optimal strategy for the Twenty Questions game corresponds to a Huffman code for $mu$, yet this strategy could potentially uses all $2^n$ possible questions. Dagan et al. constructed a set of $1.25^{n+o(n)}$ questions which suffice to construct an optimal strategy for all $mu$, and showed that this number is optimal (up to sub-exponential factors) for infinitely many $n$. We determine the optimal size of such a set of questions for all $n$ (up to sub-exponential factors), answering an open question of Dagan et al. In addition, we generalize the results of Dagan et al. to the $d$-ary setting, obtaining similar results with $1.25$ replaced by $1 + (d-1)/d^{d/(d-1)}$.
The feedback arc (vertex) set problem, shortened FASP (FVSP), is to transform a given multi digraph $G=(V,E)$ into an acyclic graph by deleting as few arcs (vertices) as possible. Due to the results of Richard M. Karp in 1972 it is one of the classic NP-complete problems. An important contribution of this paper is that the subgraphs $G_{mathrm{el}}(e)$, $G_{mathrm{si}}(e)$ of all elementary cycles or simple cycles running through some arc $e in E$, can be computed in $mathcal{O}big(|E|^2big)$ and $mathcal{O}(|E|^4)$, respectively. We use this fact and introduce the notion of the essential minor and isolated cycles, which yield a priori problem size reductions and in the special case of so called resolvable graphs an exact solution in $mathcal{O}(|V||E|^3)$. We show that weight
We present several enumeration results holding in sets of words called neutral and which satisfy restrictive conditions on the set of possible extensions of nonempty words. These formulae concern return words and bifix codes. They generalize formulae previously known for Sturmian sets or more generally for tree sets. We also give a geometric example of this class of sets, namely the natural coding of some interval exchange transformations.
We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter called bipartite pathwidth. This result, which we prove for the more general hardcore distribution with fugacity $lambda$, can be viewed as a strong generalisation of Jerrum and Sinclairs work on approximately counting matchings, that is, independent sets in line graphs. The class of graphs with bounded bipartite pathwidth includes claw-free graphs, which generalise line graphs. We consider two further generalisations of claw-free graphs and prove that these classes have bounded bipartite pathwidth. We also show how to extend all our results to polynomially-bounded vertex weights.
