In this work, we adapt Sinkhorn-Knopp theorem for rectangular positive maps $(T:M_k\rightarrow M_m)$. We extend their concepts of support and total support to these maps. We show that a positive map $T:M_k\rightarrow M_m$ is equivalent to a…

We describe a combinatorial approach for investigating properties of rational numbers. The overall approach rests on structural bijections between rational numbers and familiar combinatorial objects, namely rooted trees. We emphasize that…

We present a new bijection between variants of $m$-Dyck paths (paths with steps in $\{+1,-m\}$ starting and ending at height $0$ and remaining at non-negative height), which generalizes a classical bijection between Dyck prefixes and…

Let T(m,n) denote the number of ways to tile an m-by-n rectangle with dominos. For any fixed m, the numbers T(m,n) satisfy a linear recurrence relation, and so may be extrapolated to negative values of n; these extrapolated values satisfy…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $d \geq 1$ be an integer and $A$ be the algebra of square matrices of size $d$ over the field of order $p$. Let $P, Q \in A[x_1, \dots x_n]$ be polynomials in $n$ indeterminates with coefficients in $A$, such that…

We study the relationship between rational slope Dyck paths and invariant subsets of $\mathbb Z,$ extending the work of the first two authors in the relatively prime case. We also find a bijection between $(dn,dm)$--Dyck paths and…

We address the general mathematical problem of computing the inverse $p$-th root of a given matrix in an efficient way. A new method to construct iteration functions that allow calculating arbitrary $p$-th roots and their inverses of…

In this paper, a simple proof is presented for the convergence of the algorithms for the class of relaxed $(u, v)$-cocoercive mappings and $\alpha$-inverse strongly monotone mappings. Based on $\alpha$-expansive maps, for example, a simple…

The well-known $q,t$-Catalan sequence has two combinatorial interpretations as weighted sums of ordinary Dyck paths: one is Haglund's area-bounce formula, and the other is Haiman's dinv-area formula. The zeta map was constructed to connect…

Recently Mansour and Shattuck studied $(k,a)$-paths and gave formulas that relate the total number of humps (peaks) in all $(k,a)$-paths to the number of super $(k,a)$-paths. These results generalize earlier results of Regev on Dyck paths…

The vertex set of the kth cartesian power of a directed cycle of length m can be naturally identified with the set of k-tuples of integers modulo m. For any two vertices v and w of this graph, it is easy to see that if there is a…

We introduce rational Dyck tilings, or $(a,b)$-Dyck tilings, and study them by the decomposition into $(1,1)$-Dyck tilings. This decomposition allows us to make use of combinatorial models for $(1,1)$-Dyck tilings such as the Hermite…

This paper contains an attempt to formulate rigorously and to check predictions in enumerative geometry of curves following from Mirror Symmetry. The main tool is a new notion of stable map. We give an outline of a contsruction of…

We consider the set of alternating paths on a fixed fully packed loop of size n. This set is in bijection with the set of fully packed loops of size n. Furthermore, for a special choice of fully packed loop, we demonstrate that the set of…

We present a new mixed integer formulation for the discrete informative path planning problem in random fields. The objective is to compute a budget constrained path while collecting measurements whose linear estimate results in minimum…

In this paper we present two efficient methods for reconstructing a rational number from several residue-modulus pairs, some of which may be incorrect. One method is a natural generalization of that presented by Wang, Guy and Davenport in…

An $(a,b)$-Dyck path $P$ is a lattice path from $(0,0)$ to $(b,a)$ that stays above the line $y=\frac{a}{b}x$. The zeta map is a curious rule that maps the set of $(a,b)$-Dyck paths into itself; it is conjecturally bijective, and we provide…

We use intuitive results from algebraic topology and intersection theory to clarify the pullback action on cohomology by compositions of rational maps. We use these techniques to prove a simple sufficient criterion for functoriality of a…

The iteration of rational maps is well-understood in dimension 1 but less so in higher dimensions. We study some maps on spaces of matrices which present a weak complexity with respect to the ring structure. First we give some properties of…

We present an algorithm that transforms, if possible, a given ODE or PDE with radical function coefficients into one with rational coefficients by means of a rational change of variables. It also applies to systems of linear ODEs. It is…
