We introduce two new homology theories of orbifolds from some special type of triangulations adapted to an orbifold, called AW-homology and DW-homology. The main idea in the definitions of these two homology theories is that we use…

In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain first and second order differential equations for the orthogonal polynomials and associated functions with a weight on the unit circle. We…

We confirm a conjecture of Cun Sheng Ding~\cite{Ding-Discrete} claiming that the punctured value-sets of a list of eleven trinomials over odd-degree extensions of the binary field give rise to difference sets with Singer parameters. In the…

We consider the weight w: 1<w<T on the unit circle and prove that the corresponding orthonormal polynomials can grow.

Two series of W-algebras with two generators are constructed from chiral vertex operators of a free field representation. If $c = 1 - 24k$, there exists a W(2,3k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/2$ and a W(2,8k) algebra for k in $Z_{+}/4$. All…

It has been known since the 1970's that the difference of the non-zero weights of a projective $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear two-weight has to be a power of the characteristic of the underlying field. Here we study non-projective two-weight codes…

The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of linear codes are fundamental parameters, the knowledge of which is of great interest in many applications. However, to determine the GHWs of linear codes is difficult in general. In this paper, we…

Let ${\cal T}=(T,w)$ be a weighted finite tree with leaves $1,..., n$.For any $I :=\{i_1,..., i_k \} \subset \{1,...,n\}$, let $D_I ({\cal T})$ be the weight of the minimal subtree of $T$ connecting $i_1,..., i_k$; the $D_{I} ({\cal T})$…

The weight space of the Ising perceptron in which a set of random patterns is stored is examined using the generating function of the partition function $\phi(n)=(1/N)\log [Z^n]$ as the dimension of the weight vector $N$ tends to infinity,…

Let $A(n,d,w)$ be the largest possible size of an $(n,d,w)$ constant-weight binary code. By adding new constraints to Delsarte linear programming, we obtain twenty three new upper bounds on $A(n,d,w)$ for $n \leq 28$. The used techniques…

By defining the dimension of natural numbers as the number of prime factors, all natural numbers smaller than 2^(n+1) (n is a natural number) can be classified by their dimensions, and the count of numbers of each dimension gives a…

In \cite{BigAlg-3gen}, an explicit description of bi-quadratic algebras on three generators with PBW basis was obtained. There are four classes: I-IV. The aim of the paper is to study algebras that belong to one of the classes: class II.1.…

We use dense Sidon sets to construct small weighted projective 2-designs. This represents quantitative progress on Zauner's conjecture.

We study a function, which is a weighted sum of the squares of the distances of an arbitrary point to the sidelines of a triangle. The given weights, considered as barycentric coordinates, determine a point $M$. We prove that the function…

Mutually unbiased weighing matrices (MUWM) are closely related to an antipodal spherical code with 4 angles. In the present paper, we clarify the relationship between MUWM and the spherical sets, and give the complete solution about the…

Combinatorial $t$-designs have been an interesting topic in combinatorics for decades. It is a basic fact that the codewords of a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. Till now only a small amount of work on constructing $t$-designs…

We show that the ring of modular forms with characters for $\mathrm{O}(2,4;\mathbb{Z})$ is generated by forms of weights 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10, 12, and 30 with three relations of weights 8, 20, and 60. The proof is based on the study of a…

The weight of a coset of a code is the smallest Hamming weight of any vector in the coset. For a linear code of length $n$, we call integral weight spectrum the overall numbers of weight $w$ vectors, $0\le w\le n$, in all the cosets of a…

It has been known for a long time that $t$-designs can be employed to construct both linear and nonlinear codes and that the codewords of a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. While a lot of progress in the direction of…

In this paper, we mainly study quaternary linear codes and their binary subfield codes. First we obtain a general explicit relationship between quaternary linear codes and their binary subfield codes in terms of generator matrices and…
