Bimonotone subdivisions in two dimensions are subdivisions all of whose sides are either vertical or have nonnegative slope. They correspond to statistical estimates of probability distributions of strongly positively dependent random variables. The number of bimonotone subdivisions compared to the total number of subdivisions of a point configuration provides insight into how often the random variables are positively dependent. We give recursions as well as formulas for the numbers of bimonotone and total subdivisions of $2times n$ grid configurations in the plane. Furthermore, we connect the former to the large Schroder numbers. We also show that the numbers of bimonotone and total subdivisions of a $2times n$ grid are asymptotically equal. We then provide algorithms for counting bimonotone subdivisions for any $m times n$ grid. Finally, we prove that all bimonotone triangulations of an $m times n$ grid are connected by flips. This gives rise to an algorithm for counting the number of bimonotone (and total) triangulations of an $mtimes n$ grid.
The convex grabbing game is a game where two players, Alice and Bob, alternate taking extremal points from the convex hull of a point set on the plane. Rational weights are given to the points. The goal of each player is to maximize the total weight
Let $X$ be a set and ${mathcal H}$ a collection of functions from $X$ to ${0,1}$. We say that ${mathcal H}$ shatters a finite set $C subset X$ if the restriction of ${mathcal H}$ yields every possible function from $C$ to ${0,1}$. The VC-dimension of
Let $ngeq 6,kgeq 0$ be two integers. Let $H$ be a graph of order $n$ with $k$ components, each of which is an even cycle of length at least $6$ and $G$ be a bipartite graph with bipartition $(X,Y)$ such that $|X|=|Y|geq n/2$. In this paper, we show t
Determining and analyzing the spectra of graphs is an important and exciting research topic in theoretical computer science. The eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian of a graph provide information on its structural properties and also on some rele
In this paper, we show that two balanced triangulations of a closed surface are not necessary connected by a sequence of balanced stellar subdivisions and welds. This answers a question posed by Izmestiev, Klee and Novik. We also show that two balanc
