Plurigraph Coloring and Scheduling Problems
A new type of vertex coloring is defined which generalizes vertex coloring in graphs, hypergraphs, and simplicial complexes and it is shown how the deletion-contraction law can be applied to scheduling problems.
Scheduling Problems and Generalized Graph Coloring
We define a new type of vertex coloring which generalizes vertex coloring in graphs, hypergraphs, andsimplicial complexes. To this coloring there is an associated symmetric function in noncommuting
Quasisymmetric and Schur expansions of cycle index polynomials

Abstract Given a subgroup G of the symmetric group S n , the cycle index polynomial cyc G is the average of the power-sum symmetric polynomials indexed by the cycle types of permutations in G . By
Hopf monoids and generalized permutahedra
• Mathematics
• 2017
Generalized permutahedra are a family of polytopes with a rich combinatorial structure and strong connections to optimization. We prove that they are the universal family of polyhedra with a certain
New invariants for permutations, orders and graphs
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• 2020
It is shown that the chromatic symmetric function and many other invariants have a property the authors call positively $h$-alternating, which leads to Schur positivity and e-positivity when applying the operator $\nabla$ at $q=1$.

• 2017
This work exhibits a class of hypergraphs, called hypertrees with prime-sized edges, for which X_H is positive in the fundamental quasisymmetric functions of F_S, and gives an explicit combinatorial interpretation for the F-coefficients ofX_H.
Resolving Stanley's $e$-positivity of claw-contractible-free graphs
• Mathematics
• 2017
In Stanley's seminal 1995 paper on the chromatic symmetric function, he stated that there was no known graph that was not contractible to the claw and whose chromatic symmetric function was not
Coupling a genetic algorithm with the distributed arrival-time control for the JIT dynamic scheduling of flexible job-shops
• Engineering
• 2014
In order to increase customer satisfaction and competitiveness, manufacturing systems need to combine flexibility with Just-in-Time (JIT) production. Until now, research on JIT scheduling problems
Combinatorial Hopf Algebras of Simplicial Complexes
• Mathematics, Computer Science
SIAM J. Discret. Math.
• 2016
A family of combinatorial Hopf algebras are obtained by defining a family of characters on a Hopf algebra of simplicial complexes and using characters to give a generalization of Stanley's $(-1)$-color theorem.
A STUDY ON THE INTEGRATION OF COMPLEX MACHINES IN COMPLEX JOB SHOP SCHEDULING

A quasisymmetric function for matroids

Eur. J. Comb.
• 2009
This invariant defines a Hopf morphism from the Hopf algebra of matroids to the quasisymmetric functions, which is surjective if one uses rational coefficients and can sometimes be used to prove that a matroid base polytope has no decompositions into smaller matroidbase polytopes.
