In this note we give a construction of a smooth Riemannian metric on R^n which is standard Euclidean outside a compact set K and such that it has N = n(n + 1)=2 invisible directions, meaning that all geodesics lines passing through the set…

Let $H_n =\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k}$ be the $n$-th harmonic number. Euler extended it to complex arguments and defined $H_r$ for any complex number $r$ except for the negative integers. In this paper, we give a new proof of the…

In this work we consider triangulations of point sets in the Euclidean plane, i.e., maximal straight-line crossing-free graphs on a finite set of points. Given a triangulation of a point set, an edge flip is the operation of removing one…

Our basic result, an isoperimetric inequality for Hamming cube $Q_n$, can be written: \[ \int h_A^\beta d\mu \ge 2 \mu(A)(1-\mu(A)). \] Here $\mu$ is uniform measure on $V=\{0,1\}^n$ ($=V(Q_n)$); $\beta=\log_2(3/2)$; and, for $S\subseteq V$…

We consider $q$-ary (linear and nonlinear) block codes with exactly two distances: $d$ and $d+\delta$. Several combinatorial constructions of optimal such codes are given. In the linear (but not necessary projective) case, we prove that…

We find the exact size of a maximal non-commuting set in unipotent uppertriangular linear group $UU_4(\mathbb{F}_q)$ in terms of a non-commuting geometric structure (Refer Definition [10]), where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$…
