Quaternary code (QC) designs form an attractive class of nonregular factorial fractions. We develop a complementary set theory for characterizing optimal QC designs that are highly fractionated in the sense of accommodating a large number…

Combinatorial $t$-designs have been an interesting topic in combinatorics for decades. It is a basic fact that the codewords of a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. Till now only a small amount of work on constructing $t$-designs…

This work presents a recursive construction for simple $t$-designs using resolutions of the ingredient designs. The result extends a construction of $t$-designs in our recent paper [39]. Essentially, the method in [39] describes the blocks…

A superimposed code is a collection of binary vectors (codewords) with the property that no vector is contained in the Boolean sum of any $k$ others, enabling unique identification of codewords within any group of $k$. Superimposed codes…

We construct the universal realized limit sketch associated to a given limit sketch. The construction uses factorization systems to organize the classical argument of [2], yielding a streamlined and conceptually unified formulation of the…

This paper introduces almost partitionable sets to generalize the known concept of partitionable sets. These notions provide a unified frame to construct $\mathbb{Z}$-cyclic patterned starter whist tournaments and cyclic balanced sampling…

In computational design and fabrication, neural networks are becoming important surrogates for bulky forward simulations. A long-standing, intertwined question is that of inverse design: how to compute a design that satisfies a desired…

We employ signed measures that are positive definite up to certain degrees to establish Levenshtein-type upper bounds on the cardinality of codes with given minimum and maximum distances, and universal lower bounds on the potential energy…

Certain simplicial complexes are used to construct a subset $D$ of $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$ and $D$, in turn, defines the linear code $C_{D}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ that consists of $(v\cdot d)_{d\in D}$ for $v\in \mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$. Here we…

In this paper, we derive a Singleton bound for lattice schemes and obtain Singleton bounds known for binary codes and subspace codes as special cases. It is shown that the modular structure affects the strength of the Singleton bound. We…

In this letter, locally recoverable codes with maximal recoverability are studied with a focus on identifying the MDS codes resulting from puncturing and shortening. By using matroid theory and the relation between MDS codes and uniform…

We investigate $p$-ary $t$-designs which are simultaneously designs for all $t$, which we call universal $p$-ary designs. Null universal designs are well understood due to Gordon James via the representation theory of the symmetric group.…

One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, characterize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete…

This paper explores a full generalization of the classical corner-vector method for constructing weighted spherical designs, which we call the {\it generalized corner-vector method}. First we establish a uniform upper bound for the degree…

We present some upper bounds on the size of non-linear codes and their restriction to systematic codes and linear codes. These bounds are independent of other known theoretical bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound, the Johnson bound or the…

We analyze effective approximation of unitary matrices. In our formulation, a unitary matrix is represented as a product of rotations in two-dimensional subspaces, so-called Givens rotations. Instead of the quadratic dimension dependence…

It is well known that two finite sequences of vectors in inner product spaces are unitarily equivalent if and only if their respective inner products (Gram matrices) are equal. Here we present a corresponding result for the projective…

Tight $2 s$-designs are the $2 s$-$(v, k, \lambda)$ designs whose sizes achieve the Fisher type lower bound ${v \choose s}$. Symmetric $2$-designs, the Witt $4$-$(23, 7, 1)$ design and the Witt $4$-$(23, 16, 52)$ design are tight designs.…

Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…

In this paper we study a certain generalization of combinatorial designs related to almost difference sets, namely the $t$-adesign, which was coined by Cunsheng Ding in 2015. It is clear that $2$-adesigns are a kind of partially balanced…
