We define generalized de Bruijn words as those words having a Burrows-Wheeler transform that is a concatenation of permutations of the alphabet. We show that generalized de Bruijn words are in 1-to-1 correspondence with Hamiltonian cycles…

A universal cycle for permutations of length $n$ is a cyclic word or permutation, any factor of which is order-isomorphic to exactly one permutation of length $n$, and containing all permutations of length $n$ as factors. It is well known…

The well known prefer-one, prefer-opposite, and prefer-same binary de Bruijn sequences are all constructed using simple preference rules. We apply the technique of preference functions of span one to define q-ary sequences that generalize…

We study a fixed-window counting system in which integers are represented by words of constant length while the alphabet grows as needed. This viewpoint arises from De Bruijn sequences: for fixed order $n$, the reverse prefer-max sequence…

A Skolem sequence is a linear arrangement of the multiset, {1, 1, 2, 2, ..., n, n} such that if r in [n] appears in positions i and j, then |i-j| = r. We first translate the problem to a particular set of perfect matchings, then apply the…

A new method to construct $q$-ary complementary sequence (or array) sets (CSSs) and complete complementary codes (CCCs) of size $N$ is introduced in this paper. An algorithm on how to compute the explicit form of the functions in…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a decomposition of a complete multigraph into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths, or into edge-disjoint cycles of specified lengths and a perfect matching.

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 present quantum circuits with a brick wall structure using the optimal number of parameters and two-qubit gates to parametrize $SU(2^n)$, and provide evidence that these circuits are universal for $n\leq 5$. For this, we successfully…

In this paper, we develop a structure theory for generalized spectral sequences, which are derived from chain complexes that are filtered over arbitrary partially ordered sets. Also, a more general construction method reminiscent of exact…

A special type of cyclic sequences named adjacency-hopping de Bruijn sequences is introduced in this paper. It is theoretically proved the existence of such sequences, and the number of such sequences is derived. These sequences guarantee…

An orientable sequence of order $n$ is a cyclic binary sequence such that each length-$n$ substring appears at most once \emph{in either direction}. Maximal length orientable sequences are known only for $n\leq 7$, and a trivial upper bound…

We study a class of Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) with characteristic polynomial $f(x)=p(x)q(x)$ where $p(x)$ and $q(x)$ are distinct irreducible polynomials in $\F_2[x]$. Important properties of the LFSRs, such as the cycle…

De novo DNA assembly is a fundamental task in Bioinformatics, and finding Eulerian paths on de Bruijn graphs is one of the dominant approaches to it. In most of the cases, there may be no one order for the de Bruijn graph that works well…

A T-net of order $m$ is a graph with $m$ nodes and $2m$ directed edges, where every node has indegree and outdegree equal to $2$. (A well known example of T-nets are de Bruijn graphs.) Given a T-net $N$ of order $m$, there is the so called…
