The condition number of a linear function of the indefinite least squares solution is called the partial condition number for the indefinite least squares problem. In this paper, based on a new and very general condition number which can be…
The aim of the present paper is to investigate the half-spaces in the convexity structure of all quasiorders on a given set and to use them in an alternative approach to classical order dimension. The main result states that linear orders…
We introduce and discuss a multivariate version of the classical median that is based on an equipartition property with respect to quarter spaces. These arise as pairwise intersections of the half-spaces associated with the coordinate…
We survey structures endowed with natural partial orderings and prove their universality. These partial orders include partial orders on sets of words, partial orders formed by geometric objects, grammars, polynomials and homomorphism order…
It is proved that for any prescribed orientation of the triples of either a Steiner triple system or a Latin square of odd order, there exists an embedding in an orientable surface with the triples forming triangular faces and one extra…
Let T be a tile in the Cartesian plane made up of finitely many rectangles whose corners have rational coordinates and whose sides are parallel to the coordinate axes. This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a square to be…
The classical quadratic formula and some of its lesser known variants for solving the quadratic equation are reviewed. Then, a new formula for the roots of a quadratic polynomial is presented.
In this paper, we introduce a novel generalization of the classical property of algebras known as "being alternative," which we term "partially alternative." This new concept broadens the scope of alternative algebras, offering a fresh…
In this paper, we consider the quadratic programming problems under finitely many convex quadratic constraints in Hilbert spaces. By using the Legendre property of quadratic forms or the compactness of operators in the presentations of…
Differential systems with a Fuchsian linear part are studied in regions including all the singularities in the complex plane of these equations. Such systems are not necessarily analytically equivalent to their linear part (they are not…
A quantum Latin square of order $n$ (denoted as QLS$(n)$) is an $n\times n$ array whose entries are unit column vectors from the $n$-dimensional Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_n$, such that each row and column forms an orthonormal basis. Two…
In this paper, we study additively indecomposable quadratic forms over real biquadratic and simplest cubic fields. In particular, we show that over these fields, we can always find such a classical form in 2 variables, which differs from…
We investigate the lazy burning process for Latin squares by studying their associated hypergraphs. In lazy burning, a set of vertices in a hypergraph is initially burned, and that burning spreads to neighboring vertices over time via a…
An array is row-Latin if no symbol is repeated within any row. An array is Latin if it and its transpose are both row-Latin. A transversal in an $n\times n$ array is a selection of $n$ different symbols from different rows and different…
This is a companion note to the paper "Almost all Steiner triple systems have perfect matchings (arXiv:1611.02246). That paper contains several general lemmas about random Steiner triple systems; in this note we record analogues of these…
I survey problems concerning Lindelof spaces which have partial set- theoretic solutions.
A latin bitrade (T1, T2) is a pair of partial latin squares which are disjoint, occupy the same set of non-empty cells, and whose corresponding rows and columns contain the same set of entries. A genus may be associated to a latin bitrade…
We introduce a notion of parity for transversals, and use it to show that in Latin squares of order $2 \bmod 4$, the number of transversals is a multiple of 4. We also demonstrate a number of relationships (mostly congruences modulo 4)…
Many combinatorial problems can be formulated as a polynomial optimization problem that can be solved by state-of-the-art methods in real algebraic geometry. In this paper we explain many important methods from real algebraic geometry, we…
We introduce an unconditional concept of almost squareness in order to provide a partial negative answer to the problem of existence of any dual almost square Banach space. We also take advantage of this notion to provide some criterion of…
