An arrangement of pseudocircles is a finite set of oriented closed Jordan curves each two of which cross each other in exactly two points. To describe the combinatorial structure of arrangements on closed orientable surfaces, in (Linhart,…
We show the optimal coherence of $2d$ lines in $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ is given by the Welch bound whenever a skew Hadamard of order $d+1$ exists. Our proof uses a variant of Hadamard doubling that converts any equiangular tight frame of size…
Real spherical designs and real and complex projective designs have been shown by Delsarte, Goethals, and Seidel to give rise to association schemes when the strength of the design is high compared to its degree as a code. In contrast,…
Stable compact minimal submanifolds of the product of a sphere and any Riemannian manifold are classified whenever the dimension of the sphere is at least three. The complete classification of the stable compact minimal submanifolds of the…
Experiments suggest that typical finite sets of square matrices admit spectrum maximizing products (SMPs): that is, products that attain the joint spectral radius (JSR). Furthermore, those SMPs are often combinatorially "simple." In this…
Semidefinite programming (SDP) is the task of optimizing a linear function over the common solution set of finitely many linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). For the running time of SDP solvers, the maximal matrix size of these LMIs is…
We study quasi-cyclic codes of index 2 over finite fields. We give a classification of such codes. Their duals with respect to the Euclidean, symplectic and Hermitian inner products are investigated. We describe self-orthogonal and…
A set of points $S$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a 2-distance set if the set of pairwise distances between the points has cardinality two. The 2-distance set is called spherical if its points lie on the unit…
Double Toeplitz (shortly DT) codes are introduced here as a generalization of double circulant codes. We show that such a code is isodual, hence formally self-dual. Self-dual DT codes are characterized as double circulant or double…
A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…
Given an open set $T\subset [-1,1)$, we introduce the concepts of $T$-avoiding spherical codes and designs, that is, spherical codes that have no inner products in the set $T$. We show that certain codes found in the minimal vectors of the…
In this paper we define spherical complexes as simplicial complexes with the property that every subcomplex obtained by a sequence of links and deletions either has trivial homology, or has the homology of a sphere. Examples of such…
We classify all spherical 2-designs that arise as orbits of finite group actions on real inner product spaces. Although it is well known that such designs can occur in representations without trivial components, we give a complete…
Self-dual double circulant codes of odd dimension are shown to be dihedral in even characteristic and consta-dihedral in odd characteristic. Exact counting formulae are derived for them and used to show they contain families of codes with…
An $L$-spherical code is a set of Euclidean unit vectors whose pairwise inner products belong to the set $L$. We show, for a fixed $\alpha,\beta>0$, that the size of any $[-1,-\beta]\cup\{\alpha\}$-spherical code is at most linear in the…
A trade in a complex Hadamard matrix is a set of entries which can be changed to obtain a different complex Hadamard matrix. We show that in a real Hadamard matrix of order $n$ all trades contain at least $n$ entries. We call a trade…
We prove that the existence of best coapproximation to any element of the normed linear space out of any one dimensional subspace and its coincidence with the best approximation to that element out of that subspace characterizes a real…
A Hamiltonian cycle in a graph is a spanning subgraph that is homeomorphic to a circle. With this in mind, it is natural to define a Hamiltonian d-sphere in a d-dimensional simplicial complex as a spanning subcomplex that is homeomorphic to…
We prove that the inner products of spherical $s$-distance $t$-designs with $t \geq 2s-2$ (Delsarte codes) and $s \geq 3$ are rational with the only exception being the icosahedron. In other formulations, we prove that all sharp…
A finite subset $X$ of the Euclidean space is called an $m$-distance set if the number of distances between two distinct points in $X$ is equal to $m$. An $m$-distance set $X$ is said to be maximal if any vector cannot be added to $X$ while…
