An extended formulation of a polytope P is a polytope Q which can be projected onto P. Extended formulations of small size (i.e., number of facets) are of interest, as they allow to model corresponding optimization problems as linear…

The aim of this work is to algebraically describe the relative generalized Hamming weights of evaluation codes. We give a lower bound for these weights in terms of a footprint bound. We prove that this bound can be sharp. We compute the…

For a positive integer $n$, the set of all integers greater than or equal to $n$ is denoted by $\mathcal T(n)$. A sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers $g$ is called tight $\mathcal T(n)$-universal if the set of all nonzero integers…

Coding Theory where the alphabet is identified with the elements of a ring or a module has become an important research topic over the last 30 years. Such codes over rings had important applications and many interesting mathematical…

We develop the theory of layered posets, and use the notion of layering to prove a new iteration theorem (Theorem 6): if $\kappa$ is weakly compact then any universal Kunen iteration of $\kappa$-cc posets (each possibly of size $\kappa$) is…

We provide an index bound for character sums of polynomials over finite fields. This improves the Weil bound for high degree polynomials with small indices, as well as polynomials with large indices that are generated by cyclotomic mappings…

Using the character expansion method, we generalize several well-known integrals over the unitary group to the case where general complex matrices appear in the integrand. These integrals are of interest in the theory of random matrices and…

Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…

We prove the theorems which are equivalent to the Roland's results such that a new form of them allows to consider some generalizations. In particular, we give generators of primes more than a fixed prime.

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…

We give two generalizations of Kac's Theorem on representations of quivers. One is to representations of equipped graphs by relations, in the sense of Gelfand and Ponomarev. The other is to representations of quivers in which certain of the…

This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the…

Let $X$ be a random variable with distribution function $F,$ and $X_{1},X_{2},...,X_{n}$ are independent copies of $X.$ Consider the order statistics $X_{i:n},$ $i=1,2,...,n$ and denote $F_{i:n}(x)=P\{X_{i:n}\leq x\}.$ Using majorization…

In this paper, we consider sums of generalized polygonal numbers with repeats, generalizing Fermat's polygonal number theorem which was proven by Cauchy. In particular, we obtain the minimal number of generalized $m$-gonal numbers required…

For linear codes, the MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that each linear isometry of a linear code extends to a linear isometry of the whole space. But, in general, it is not the situation for nonlinear codes. In this paper it is proved,…

Using the notion of generalized weight we improve estimates on the parameters of quantum codes obtained by Steane's construction from binary codes. This yields several new families of quantum codes.

Limit theorems of strong law of large numbers and central limit theorem types are obtained for the compositions of independent identically distributed random unitary channels.

The main theorem in this paper is a far-reaching generalization of Gleason's theorem on the weight enumerators of codes which applies to arbitrary-genus weight enumerators of self-dual codes defined over a large class of finite rings and…

In this article we extend the theory of the binary codes (the strict code $\mathcal{K}$ and the extended code $\mathcal{K}'$), associated to a projective nodal surface, to a coding theory for normal surfaces, with special consideration of…

We consider generalizations of Gale's colored KKM lemma and Shapley's KKMS theorem. It is shown that spaces and covers can be much more general and the boundary KKM rules can be substituted by more weaker boundary assumptions.
