We investigate extremal functions ex_e(F,n) and ex_i(F,n) counting maximum numbers of edges and maximum numbers of vertex-edge incidences in simple hypergraphs H which have n vertices and do not contain a fixed hypergraph F; the containment…
Given a coarse space $(X, \mathcal{E})$, we consider linear orders on $X$ compatible with the coarse structure $\mathcal E$ and explore interplays between these orders and macro-uniform selectors of $(X, \mathcal{E})$.
Every finite graph admits a \emph{simple (topological) drawing}, that is, a drawing where every pair of edges intersects in at most one point. However, in combination with other restrictions simple drawings do not universally exist. For…
It is shown that among all tight designs in FP^n, where F is R, C, or H (quaternions), other than RP^1, only 5-designs in CP^1 have irrational angle set. This is the only case of equal ranks of the first and the last irreducible idempotent…
The identity of the smallest quadrangulation with minimum degree 3 also containing parallel edges is unknown. However, it has already been determined that its order (the number of vertices) is between 11 and 14. This paper narrows this…
We clarify the mathematical structure underlying unitary $t$-designs. These are sets of unitary matrices, evenly distributed in the sense that the average of any $t$-th order polynomial over the design equals the average over the entire…
The paper is an investigation of the structure of block-transitive automorphism groups of a 3-design with small block size. Let $G$ be a block-transitive automorphism group of a nontrivial $3$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ design $\mathcal{D}$ with $k\le…
In this article we prove that integral lattices with minimum <= 7 (or <= 9) whose set of minimal vectors form spherical 9-designs (or 11-designs respectively) are extremal, even and unimodular. We furthermore show that there does not exist…
It is known that the volume functional $\,\phi\mapsto\int e^{-\phi}\,$ satisfies certain concavity or convexity inequalities with respect to three of the four linear structures induced by the order isomorphisms acting on…
A typical problem in optimal design theory is finding an experimental design that is optimal with respect to some criteria in a class of designs. The most popular criteria include the A- and D-criteria. Regular graph designs occur in many…
In this paper we construct high order numerical methods for solving third and fourth orders nonlinear functional differential equations (FDE). They are based on the discretization of iterative methods on continuous level with the use of the…
A graph $G$ is $k$-ordered if for any distinct vertices $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_k \in V(G)$, it has a cycle through $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_k$ in order. Let $f(k)$ denote the minimum integer so that every $f(k)$-connected graph is $k$-ordered.…
We complete the classification of tight $4$-designs in Hamming association schemes $H(n,q)$, i.e., that of tight orthogonal arrays of strength $4$, which had been open since a result by Noda (1979). To do so, we construct an association…
Steiner triple systems (STSs) have been classified up to order 19. Earlier estimations of the number of isomorphism classes of STSs of order 21, the smallest open case, are discouraging as for classification, so it is natural to focus on…
In this article, we study two problems concerning the size of the set of finite point configurations generated by a compact set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. The first problem concerns how the Lebesgue measure or the Hausdorff dimension of the…
We obtain the formulae for the numbers of 4-matchings and 5-matchings in terms of the number of hexagonal faces in (4, 6)-fullerene graphs by studying structural classification of 6-cycles and some local structural properties, which correct…
We prove that the triangle order $\leq_{\bigtriangleup}$ in the singular category $D_{sg}(A)$ defines a partial order on the set of isomorphism classes of objects in $D_{sg}(A)$ for a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra $A$.
A \textbf{single change covering design} is a $v$-set $X$ and an ordered list $\cL$ of $b$ blocks of size $k$ where every $t$-set must occur in at least one block. Each pair of consecutive blocks differs by exactly one element. A single…
In this paper we present the results from a program developed by the author that finds the unitals of the known 193 projective planes of order 25.. There are several planes for which we have not found any unital. One or more than one…
I give an elementary proof that a quasi-symmetric design without repeated blocks on $v$ points has at most $v\choose2$ blocks, with equality if and only if it is a tight $4$-design.
