We show that no Fibonacci number (larger than 1) divides the sum of its divisors.

We describe a parallel algorithm that computes persistent homology, an algebraic descriptor of a filtered topological space. Our algorithm is distinguished by operating on a spatial decomposition of the domain, as opposed to a decomposition with respect to the filtration. We rely on a classical construction, called the Mayer-Vietoris blowup complex, to glue global topological information about a space from its disjoint subsets. We introduce an efficient algorithm to perform this gluing operation, which may be of independent interest, and describe how to process the domain hierarchically. We report on a set of experiments that help assess the strengths and identify the limitations of our method.

Recently a large number of graph separator problems have been proven to be NP-Hard. Amazingly we have found that α-Subgraph-Balanced-Vertex-Separator, an important variant, has been overlooked. In this work "Yet Another Graph Partitioning Problem is NP-Hard" we present the surprising 1 result that α-Subgraph-Balanced-Vertex-Separator is NP-Hard. This is despite the fact that the constraints of our new problem are harder to satisfy than the original problem.
