A new generalized cyclic symmetric structure in the factor matrices of polyadic decompositions of matrix multiplication tensors for non-square matrix multiplication is proposed to reduce the number of variables in the optimization problem…

Several cycle lexicographical orders are found to describe the relative likelihood of elements of the random walks on the symmetric group generated by the conjugacy classes of transpositions, 3-cycles, and n-cycles. Spectral analysis finds…

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots…

We show that very simple continued fractions can be obtained for the ordinary generating functions enumerating permutations or D-permutations with a large number of independent statistics, when each cycle is given a weight $-1$. The proof…

We find exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of pairs $(p,q)$ of $N$-cycles such that the all cycles of the product $p\cdot q$ have lengths from a given integer set. We then apply these results to prove a surprisingly high lower…

Positive-definite matrices materialize as state transition matrices of linear time-invariant gradient flows, and the composition of such materializes as the state transition after successive steps where the driving potential is suitably…

For which values of $k$ does a uniformly chosen $3$-regular graph $G$ on $n$ vertices typically contain $ n/k$ vertex-disjoint $k$-cycles (a $k$-cycle factor)? To date, this has been answered for $k=n$ and for $k \ll \log n$; the former,…

We consider the variance of sums of arithmetic functions over random short intervals in the function field setting. Based on the analogy between factorizations of random elements of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ into primes and the factorizations of…

Following the works by Lin et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 20(6): 601-618, 2001) and Liu et al. (Circuits Syst. Signal Process. 30(3): 553-566, 2011), we investigate how to factorize a class of multivariate polynomial matrices. The…

Given a finite Markov chain, we investigate the first minors of the transition matrix of a lifting of this Markov chain to covering trees. In a simple case we exhibit a nice factorisation of these minors, and we conjecture that it holds…

We study the rate of convergence of the Markov chain on $S_n$ which starts with a random $(n-k)$-cycle for a fixed $k \geq 1$, followed by random transpositions. The convergence to the stationary distribution turns out to be of order $n$.…

In this paper, we introduce a kind of decomposition of a finite group called a uniform group factorization, as a generalization of exact factorizations of a finite group. A group $G$ is said to admit a uniform group factorization if there…

We study the (variable-length) codes of the form X u {a^n}, where X c a*wa* and |X| = n. We extend various notions and results from factorizations of cyclic groups theory to this type of codes. In particular, when n is the product of at…

We prove that the number of single element extensions of $M(K_{n+1})$ is $2^{{n\choose n/2}(1+o(1))}$. This is done using a characterization of extensions as "linear subclasses".

We prove a generalization of Orlov's theorem for matrix factorizations with $n$ steps. Let $X$ be a regular scheme, $W\colon X\to \mathbb{A}^1$ a flat morphism and $D:=W^{-1}(0)$ its central fiber. We construct an appropriate triangulated…

A graph construction that produces a k-regular graph on n vertices for any choice of k >= 3 and n = m(k+1) for integer m >= 2 is described. The number of Hamiltonian cycles in such graphs can be explicitly determined as a function of n and…

We give an overview of combinatoric properties of the number of ordered $k$-factorizations $f_k(n,l)$ of an integer, where every factor is greater or equal to $l$. We show that for a large number $k$ of factors, the value of the cumulative…

Kitaev, Potapov, and Vajnovszki [On shortening u-cycles and u-words for permutations, Discrete Appl. Math, 2019] described how to shorten universal words for permutations, to length $n!+n-1-i(n-1)$ for any $i \in [(n-2)!]$, by introducing…

We consider the problem of factoring permutations as a product of special types of transpositions, namely, those transpositions involving two positions with bounded distances. In particular, we investigate the minimum number, $\delta$, such…

Recent work by Huang, Lewis, Morales, Reiner, and Stanton suggests that the regular elliptic elements of $\mathrm{GL}_n \mathbb{F}_q$ are somehow analogous to the $n$-cycles of the symmetric group. In 1981, Stanley enumerated the…
