Piecewise Euclidean structures (identified solid Euclidean polyhedra) on topological 3-dimensional manifolds and pseudo-manifolds are constructed so that they admit pseudo-foliations, a generalized type of foliation. The construction of…
In this paper we study two dimensional minimal linear code over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^n}$(where $p$ is prime). We show that if the generator matrix $G$ of the two dimensional linear code $M$ contains $p^n+p^{n-1}$ column vector of the…
This paper studies circular designs for interference models, where a treatment assigned to a plot also affects its neighboring plots within a block. For the purpose of estimating total effects, the circular neighbor balanced design was…
A structure theorem of the group codes which are relative projective for the subgroup $\lbrace 1 \rbrace$ of $G$ is given. With this, we show that all such relative projective group codes in a fixed group algebra $RG$ are in bijection to…
In this paper we introduce a new type of code, called projective nested cartesian code. It is obtained by the evaluation of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree on a certain subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, and they may be seen…
A closed convex subset of a normed linear space is said to have the strong separation property if it can be strongly separated from every other disjoint closed and convex set by a closed hyperplane. In this paper we give some results on the…
Let $\mathbb{M}_n$ denote the structure obtained from Hrushovski's (non collapsed) construction with an n-ary relation and $PG(\mathbb{M}_n)$ its associated pre-geometry. It was shown by Evans and Ferreira that $PG(\mathbb{M}_3)\not\cong…
This paper is concerned with algorithms and applications of decreasing minimization on an M-convex set, which is the set of integral elements of an integral base-polyhedron. Based on a recent characterization of decreasingly minimal…
Pseudo-geometric designs are combinatorial designs which share the same parameters as a finite geometry design, but which are not isomorphic to that design. As far as we know, many pseudo-geometric designs have been constructed by the…
Sum-rank-metric codes have wide applications in universal error correction, multishot network coding, space-time coding and the construction of partial-MDS codes for repair in distributed storage. Fundamental properties of sum-rank-metric…
Linear error-correcting codes can be used for constructing secret sharing schemes; however finding in general the access structures of these secret sharing schemes and, in particular, determining efficient access structures is difficult.…
Designing good error correcting codes whose generator matrix has a support constraint, i.e., one for which only certain entries of the generator matrix are allowed to be non-zero, has found many recent applications, including in distributed…
Designing large coupling memory quasi-cyclic spatially-coupled LDPC (QC-SC-LDPC) codes with low error floors requires eliminating specific harmful substructures (e.g., short cycles) induced by edge spreading and lifting. Building on our…
The $p$-ary code associated with the incidence structure of points and $t$-spaces in a projective space $\mathrm{PG}(m,q)$, where $q=p^h$, is the $\mathbb{F}_p$-subspace generated by the incidence vectors of the blocks of this design. The…
In this paper we construct a subclass of the composite access structure introduced by Mart\'inez et al. based on schemes realizing the structure given by the set of codewords of minimal support of linear codes. This class enlarges the…
In this paper we generalize the construction of binary self-orthogonal codes obtained from weakly self-orthogonal designs described by Tonchev in [12] in order to obtain self-orthogonal codes over an arbitrary field. We extend construction…

We present a methodology to investigate phase-diagrams of quantum models based on the principle of the reduced basis method (RBM). The RBM is built from a few ground-state snapshots, i.e., lowest eigenvectors of the full system Hamiltonian…
The present work is the first member of a pair of papers concerning decreasingly-minimal (dec-min) elements of a set of integral vectors, where a vector is dec-min if its largest component is as small as possible, within this, the next…
In this paper, we propose and study $r$-minimal codes, a natural extension of minimal codes which have been extensively studied with respect to Hamming metric, rank metric and sum-rank metric. We first propose $r$-minimal codes in a general…
