The question whether there exists an integral solution to the system of linear equations with non-negative constraints, $A\x = \b, \, \x \ge 0$, where $A \in \Z^{m\times n}$ and ${\mathbf b} \in \Z^m$, finds its applications in many areas,…

The H-unistochastic matrices are a special class of symmetric bistochastic matrices obtained by taking the square of the absolute value of each entry of a Hermitian unitary matrix. We examine the geometric relationship of the convex hull of…

Let $F$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph, both embedded on the same vertex set. We say $\mathcal{H}$ is a Berge-$F$ if there exists a bijection $\phi:E(F)\to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that $e\subseteq \phi(e)$ for all $e\in E(F)$. We…

A graph $H$ is an \emph{isometric} subgraph of $G$ if $d_H(u,v)= d_G(u,v)$, for every pair~$u,v\in V(H)$. A graph is \emph{distance preserving} if it has an isometric subgraph of every possible order. A graph is \emph{sequentially distance…

We define {\em incidence matrices} to be zero-one matrices with no zero rows or columns. A classification of incidence matrices is considered for which conditions of symmetry by transposition, having no repeated rows/columns, or…

Graphs can be used to describe complex systems. Recently, whole graph embedding (graph representation learning) can compress a graph into a compact lower-dimension vector while preserving intrinsic properties, earning much attention.…

In this paper, we examine the linear codes with respect to the Hamming metric from incidence matrices of the zero-divisor graphs with vertex set is the set of all non-zero zero-divisors of the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and two distinct vertices…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $H$ be either the complete graph $K_m$ or the complete bipartite graph $K_{r,s}$ on a subset of the vertices in $G$. We show that $G$ contains $H$ as a subgraph if and only if…

We call a digraph {\em $h$-semicomplete} if each vertex of the digraph has at most $h$ non-neighbors, where a non-neighbor of a vertex $v$ is a vertex $u \neq v$ such that there is no edge between $u$ and $v$ in either direction. This…

A set $B$ is said to be \emph{sum-free} if there are no $x,y,z\in B$ with $x+y=z$. We show that there exists a constant $c>0$ such that any set $A$ of $n$ integers contains a sum-free subset $A'$ of size $|A'|\geqslant n/3+c\log \log n$.…

A frame is a system of vectors $S$ in Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$ with properties which allow one to write algorithms for the two operations, analysis and synthesis, relative to $S$, for all vectors in $\mathscr{H}$; expressed in…

A hypergraph is a $T_0$-hypergraph if for every two different vertices of the hypergraph there exists an edge containing one of the vertices and not containing the other. A general method for the enumeration of certain classes of…

A graph $G$ is $H$-free if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The study of the typical structure of $H$-free graphs was initiated by Erd\H{o}s, Kleitman and Rothschild, who have shown that almost all $C_3$-free…

A mapping $\alpha : V(G) \to V(H)$ from the vertex set of one graph $G$ to another graph $H$ is an isometric embedding if the shortest path distance between any two vertices in $G$ equals the distance between their images in $H$. Here, we…

In this paper we derive some basic results of circuit theory using `Implicit Linear Algebra' (ILA). This approach has the advantage of simplicity and generality. Implicit linear algebra is outlined in [1]. We denote the space of all vectors…

For each non-negative integer $n$ let $\mathcal{A}_n$ be an $n+1$ by $n+1$ Toeplitz matrix over a finite field, $F$, and suppose for each $n$ that $\mathcal{A}_n$ is embedded in the upper left corner of $\mathcal{A}_{n+1}$. We study the…

Graph G is the square of graph H if two vertices x, y have an edge in G if and only if x, y are of distance at most two in H. Given H it is easy to compute its square H2, however Motwani and Sudan proved that it is NP-complete to determine…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space of entire functions. Let $H'$ be the space of the functions $f(z)/\prod_i(z-z_i)$ where $f$ belongs to $H$ and vanishes at $n$ given complex points $z_i$. We compute a suitable $E$ function for $H'$ when one is…

Hadamard matrices are $(-1, +1)$ square matrices with mutually orthogonal rows. The Hadamard conjecture states that Hadamard matrices of order $n$ exist whenever $n$ is $1$, $2$, or a multiple of $4$. However, no construction is known that…
