We define a set of binary matrices where any two of them can not be placed one on the other in a way such that the corresponding entries coincide. The rows of the matrices are obtained by means of Dyck words. The cardinality of the set of…
Since some years, non-overlapping sets of strings (also called cross-bifix-free sets) have had an increasing interest in the frame of the researches about Theory of Codes. Recently some non-overlapping sets of strings with variable length…
The manuscript studies configurations of non-overlapping non-bonding dominoes on finite rectangular boards of unit squares characterized by row and column number. The non-bonding dominoes are defined here by the requirement that any domino…
The work considers the set $\Lambda_n^k$ of all $n\times n$ binary matrices having the same number of $k$ units in each row and each column. The article specifically focuses on the matrices whose rows and columns are sorted…
A non-crossing pairing on a bitstring matches 1s and 0s in a manner such that the pairing diagram is nonintersecting. By considering such pairings on arbitrary bitstrings $1^{n_1} 0^{m_1} ... 1^{n_r} 0^{m_r}$, we generalize classical…
We define a variable-length code having the property that no (non-empty) prefix of each its codeword is a suffix of any other one, and vice versa. This kind of code can be seen as an extension of two well-known codes in literature, called…
An overlap representation is an assignment of sets to the vertices of a graph in such a way that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the sets assigned to them overlap. The overlap number of a graph is the minimum number of elements…
In this paper, we define the bi-periodic Fibonacci matrix sequence that represent bi-periodic Fibonacci numbers. Then, we investigate generating function, Binet formula and summations of bi-periodic Fibonacci matrix sequence. After that, we…
We discuss an equivalence relation on the set of square binary matrices with the same number of 1's in each row and each column. Each binary matrix is represented using ordered n-tuples of natural numbers. We give a few starting values of…
In the work are defined the concepts semi-canonical and canonical binary matrix. What is described is an algorithm solving the combinatorial problem for finding the semi-canonical matrices in the set \Lambda_n^k consisting of all n\times n…
Let $\mathcal{A}=(A_{1},...,A_{n},...)$ be a finite or infinite sequence of $2\times2$ matrices with entries in an integral domain. We show that, except for a very special case, $\mathcal{A}$ is (simultaneously) triangularizable if and only…
We propose a method for the construction of sets of variable dimension strong non-overlapping matrices basing on any strong non-overlapping set of strings.
Let L be a restricted Lie superalgebra with its restricted enveloping algebra u(L) over a field F of characteristic p>2. A polynomial identity is called non-matrix if it is not satisfied by the algebra of 2\times 2 matrices over F. We…
In this paper we study $k$-noncrossing matchings. A $k$-noncrossing matching is a labeled graph with vertex set $\{1,...,2n\}$ arranged in increasing order in a horizontal line and vertex-degree 1. The $n$ arcs are drawn in the upper…
Double circulant matrices are introduced and studied. A formula to compute the rank r of a double circulant matrix is exhibited; and it is shown that any consecutive r rows of the double circulant matrix are linearly independent. As a…
Non-overlapping codes are block codes that have arisen in diverse contexts of computer science and biology. Applications typically require finding non-overlapping codes with large cardinalities, but the maximum size of non-overlapping codes…
If $M$ is a set of nonsingular $k\times k$ matrices then for many pairs of matrices, $A,B\in M,$ the sum is nonsingular, $\det(A+B)\neq 0.$ We prove a more general statement on nonsingular sums with an application.
Although a good portion of elementary linear algebra concerns itself with matrices over a field such as $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, many combinatorial problems naturally surface when we instead work with matrices over a finite field. As…
An $r$-matrix is a matrix with symbols in $\{0,1,\ldots,r-1\}$. A matrix is simple if it has no repeated columns. Let ${\cal F}$ be a finite set of $r$-matrices. Let $\hbox{forb}(m,r,{\cal F})$ denote the maximum number of columns possible…
We enumerate the number of 0/1-matrices avoiding 2x2 submatrices satisfying certain conditions. We also provide corresponding exponential generating functions.
