A method to give users control over automated decisions by enumerating decision subspaces.

Criterion for stopping conjugacy class enumeration in triangle groups.

We announce a solution to several enumeration problems in topology of surfaces. This includes an enumeration of homotopy classes of sections of locally trivial fiber bundles over surfaces and a computation of non-abelian 1-cohomology of surfaces.

This paper improves robust cluster enumeration for RES data.

The article enumerates doubly symmetric diagrams for knots up to 18 crossings.

This is the third paper in a series devoted to enumerating the prime alternating knots and links. This paper establishes a method for enumerating the prime alternating links. It is shown that one may choose any prime alternating link diagram of a given minimal crossing size and by applications of just two operators (T …

Constructive approach to Lie algebra gradings, computing maximal and enumerating all gradings.

Enumerating all 3-manifold triangulations of a given size is a difficult but increasingly important problem in computational topology. A key difficulty for enumeration algorithms is that most combinatorial triangulations must be discarded because they do not represent topological 3-manifolds. In this paper we show how …

This paper proves that lattice point enumeration in moduli spaces satisfies topological recursion.

A process enumerates rack elements from a presentation.

New algorithm enumerates decision tree Rashomon sets for continuous features.

The paper proposes an algorithm to enumerate K best models with distinct support vectors for SVM.

In low-dimensional topology, many important decision algorithms are based on normal surface enumeration, which is a form of vertex enumeration over a high-dimensional and highly degenerate polytope. Because this enumeration is subject to extra combinatorial constraints, the only practical algorithms to date have been v…

New method estimates number of clusters robustly in noisy data.

Motivated by well known results in low-dimensional topology, we introduce and study a topology on the set CO(G) of all left-invariant circular orders on a fixed countable and discrete group G. CO(G) contains as a closed subspace LO(G), the space of all left-invariant linear orders of G, as first topologized by Sikora. …

New method finds 198,846 toric-colorable seeds of Picard number 5.

Many key algorithms in 3-manifold topology involve the enumeration of normal surfaces, which is based upon the double description method for finding the vertices of a convex polytope. Typically we are only interested in a small subset of these vertices, thus opening the way for substantial optimization. Here we give an…

We describe rational knots with any of the possible combinations of the properties (a)chirality, (non-)positivity, (non-)fiberedness, and unknotting number one (or higher), and determine exactly their number for a given number of crossings in terms of their generating functions. We show in particular how Fibonacci numb…

Let M be a compact, hyperbolizable 3-manifold with nonempty incompressible boundary and let AH(π_1(M)) denote the space of (conjugacy classes of) discrete faithful representations of π_1(M) into PSL 2 (C). The components of the interior MP(π_1(M)) of AH(π_1(M)) (as a subset of the appropriate representation variety) ar…

This paper deals with the enumeration of the higher order non-trivial compositions of the differential operations and the directional derivative in the space $R^n$ ($n \geq 3$). We present the recurrences for a counting the higher order non-trivial compositions.

The study enumerates virtual quandles up to isomorphism.

The face pairing graph of a 3-manifold triangulation is a 4-valent graph denoting which tetrahedron faces are identified with which others. We present a series of properties that must be satisfied by the face pairing graph of a closed minimal P^2-irreducible triangulation. In addition we present constraints upon the co…

Enumerated all principal congruence link complements in 3D space.

The paper addresses the $k$-tangle enumeration problem. We introduce a notion of cascade diagram for $k$-tangle projections. An effective enumeration algorithm for projections is proposed based on cascade representation. Tangles projections with up to 12 crossings are tabulated. We provide also pictures of alternating …

New method for counting distinct tilings with symmetrical surfaces.

We enumerate the small-volume manifolds that can be obtained by Dehn filling on Mom-2 and Mom-3 manifolds as defined by Gabai, Meyerhoff, and the author. In so doing we complete the proof that the Weeks manifold is the minimum-volume compact hyperbolic 3-manifold, as well as enumerating the 10 smallest one-cusped hyper…

New method uses Gaussian processes to find local minima efficiently.

We define a decomposition of link projections whose pieces we call atoroidal graphs. We describe a surgery operation on these graphs and show that all atoroidal graphs can be generated by performing surgery repeatedly on a family of well known link projections. This gives a method of enumerating atoroidal graphs and he…

We describe an algorithm for the enumeration of (candidates of) vertex-transitive combinatorial $d$-manifolds. With an implementation of our algorithm, we determine, up to combinatorial equivalence, all combinatorial manifolds with a vertex-transitive automorphism group on $n\leq 13$ vertices. With the exception of act…

Origami structures are enumerated and shown to be quantum modular.

We consider here 6-regular plane graphs whose faces have size 1, 2 or 3. In Section 2 a practical enumeration method is given that allowed us to enumerate them up to 53 vertices. Subsequently, in Section 3 we enumerate all possible symmetry groups of the spheres that showed up. In Section 4 we introduce a new Goldberg-…

New framework for 3D spatial topology enumeration and identification.

Drawing together techniques from combinatorics and computer science, we improve the census algorithm for enumerating closed minimal P^2-irreducible 3-manifold triangulations. In particular, new constraints are proven for face pairing graphs, and pruning techniques are improved using a modification of the union-find alg…

The enumeration of normal surfaces is a crucial but very slow operation in algorithmic 3-manifold topology. At the heart of this operation is a polytope vertex enumeration in a high-dimensional space (standard coordinates). Tollefson's Q-theory speeds up this operation by using a much smaller space (quadrilateral coord…

Directed acyclic graphs are the basic representation of the structure underlying Bayesian networks, which represent multivariate probability distributions. In many practical applications, such as the reverse engineering of gene regulatory networks, not only the estimation of model parameters but the reconstruction of t…

An i-hedrite is a 4-regular plane graph with faces of size 2, 3 and 4. We do a short survey of their known properties and explain some new algorithms that allow their efficient enumeration. Using this we give the symmetry groups of all i-hedrites and the minimal representative for each. We also review the link of 4-hed…

Permutations linked to knots and links, with unknots counted by Schröder numbers.

To enumerate 3-manifold triangulations with a given property, one typically begins with a set of potential face pairing graphs (also known as dual 1-skeletons), and then attempts to flesh each graph out into full triangulations using an exponential-time enumeration. However, asymptotically most graphs do not result in …

Bijective proof of map enumeration recursion formulae.

Defines continuous versions of combinatorial objects from lattice paths.

Frequently, knots are enumerated by their crossing number. However, the number of knots with crossing number $c$ grows exponentially with $c$, and to date computer-assisted proofs can only classify diagrams up to around twenty crossings. Instead, we consider diagrams enumerated by bridge number, following the lead of S…

We present enumerations of a class of maps on Klein bottle which give rise to semi-equivelar maps. Semi-equivelar maps are generalizations of equivelar maps. There are eleven types of semi-equivelar maps on the Klein bottle. These are of the types $\{3^{6}\}$, $\{4^{4}\}$, $\{6^{3}\}$, $\{3^{3},$ $4^{2}\}$, $\{3^{2},$ …
