Movable antenna (MA) is a promising technology to exploit the spatial variation of wireless channel for performance enhancement, by dynamically varying the antenna position within a certain region. However, for multi-antenna communication…
An orthogonal array (OA), denoted by $\text{OA}(M, n, q, t)$, is an $M \times n$ matrix over an alphabet of size $q$ such that every selection of $t$ columns contains each possible $t$-tuple exactly $\lambda=M / q^t$ times. An irredundant…
Let $\pi_n$ be a uniformly chosen random permutation on $[n]$. The authors of [2] showed that the expected number of distinct consecutive patterns of all lengths $k\in\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ in $\pi_n$ was $\frac{n^2}{2}(1-o(1))$ as $n\to\infty$,…
Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured in 2008 that in any finite metric space either there is a line containing all the points - a universal line -, or the number of lines is at least the number of points. This is a generalization of a classical…
Let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $\pi$ of $n$ such that for each $1\leq j \leq n$ either $j \mid \pi(j)$ or $\pi(j) \mid j$. These permutations can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers of the divisor…
Consider a finite sequence of permutations of the elements 1,...,n, with the property that each element changes its position by at most 1 from any permutation to the next. We call such a sequence a tangle, and we define a move of element i…
An old open problem in graph drawing asks for the size of a universal point set, a set of points that can be used as vertices for straight-line drawings of all n-vertex planar graphs. We connect this problem to the theory of permutation…
In this paper we consider measures of similarity between two sets of strings built up using the Hamming distance and tools of persistence homology as a basis. First we describe the construction of the \v Cech filtration adjoined to the set…
Metric graphs are ubiquitous in science and engineering. For example, many data are drawn from hidden spaces that are graph-like, such as the cosmic web. A metric graph offers one of the simplest yet still meaningful ways to represent the…
Let $X=X(n,q)$ be the set of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. It is well known that $X$ gives rise to a metric translation association scheme whose classes are induced by the rank metric. We study $d$-codes in this…
Define $S_n(R;T)$ to be the number of permutations on $n$ letters which avoid all patterns in the set $R$ and contain each pattern in the multiset $T$ exactly once. In this paper we enumerate $S_n(\{\alpha\};\{\beta\})$ and…
We study the longest increasing subsequence problem for random permutations avoiding the pattern $312$ and another pattern $\tau$ under the uniform probability distribution. We determine the exact and asymptotic formulas for the average…
A lazy transposition $(a,b,p)$ is the random permutation that equals the identity with probability $1-p$ and the transposition $(a,b)\in S_n$ with probability $p$. How long must a sequence of independent lazy transpositions be if their…
In this paper, we present an algorithm that enumerates a certain class of signed permutations, referred to as grid signed permutation classes. In the case of permutations, the corresponding grid classes are of interest because they are…
The diameter of a graph is the maximum distance between pairs of vertices in the graph. A pair of vertices whose distance is equal to its diameter are called diametrically opposite vertices. The collection of shortest paths between…
A permutation P on {1,..,N} is a_fast_forward_permutation_ if for each m the computational complexity of evaluating P^m(x)$ is small independently of m and x. Naor and Reingold constructed fast forward pseudorandom cycluses and involutions.…
Given two binary trees on $N$ labeled leaves, the quartet distance between the trees is the number of disagreeing quartets. By permuting the leaves at random, the expected quartets distance between the two trees is…
Private set intersection (PSI) allows two mutually untrusting parties to compute an intersection of their sets, without revealing information about items that are not in the intersection. This work introduces a PSI variant called…
The maximum drop size of a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is defined to be the maximum value of $i-\pi(i)$. Chung, Claesson, Dukes and Graham obtained polynomials $P_k(x)$ that can be used to determine the number of…
We show that for any permutation $\pi$ there exists an integer $k_{\pi}$ such that every permutation avoiding $\pi$ as a pattern is a product of at most $k_{\pi}$ separable permutations. In other words, every strict class $\mathcal C$ of…
