We show that if a graph has minimum vertex degree at least d and girth at least g, where (d, g) is (3, 6) or (4, 4), then the incidence system of the graph has a (possibly infinite-dimensional) quantum solution over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ for every…

We classify all sets of the form $\bigcup_{t\in\mathbb{R}}\mathrm{spec}(A+tB)$ where $A$ and $B$ are self-adjoint operators and $B$ is bounded, non-negative, and non-zero. We show that these sets are exactly the complements of discrete…

A lattice L is called opc if every monotone function f : L^n -> L is induced by a polynomial. We show here: If L is a lattice with the interpolation property whose cardinality is a strong limit cardinal of uncountable cofinality, then some…

Continuing the study of complexity theory of Koepke's Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs) that was started by Rin, L\"owe and the author, we prove the following results: (1) An analogue of Ladner's theorem for OTMs holds: That is, there are…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has…

Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a set of $(h-1)$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathrm{PG}(kh-1,q)$ with the property that every hyperplane contains at most $t$ elements of $\mathcal{X}$. We prove the upper bound $|\mathcal{X}| \leq (t-k+2)q^h + t$, and…

Let $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$ denote the class of all matrices of zeros and ones with row sum vector $R$ and column sum vector~$S$. We introduce the notion of an inversion in a $(0,1)$--matrix. This definition extends the standard notion of an…

Tang and Ding [IEEE IT 67 (2021) 244-254] studied the class of narrow-sense BCH codes $\mathcal{C}_{(q,q+1,4,1)}$ and their dual codes with $q=2^m$ and established that the codewords of the minimum (or the second minimum) weight in these…

For $s=3,4$, we prove the existence of arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive integers none of which is a sum of $s$ nonnegative $s$-th powers. More generally, we study the existence of gaps between the values $\leq N$ of diagonal forms…

Determining an upper bound on $s$ for finite vertex-primitive $s$-arc-transitive digraphs has received considerable attention dating back to a question of Praeger in 1990. It was shown by Giudici and Xia that the smallest upper bound on $s$…

Define f(n,p) to be the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices with p perfect matchings. Dudek and Schmitt proved there exist constants n_p and c_p so that for even n >= n_p, f(n,p) = (n^2)/4+c_p. A graph is p-extremal if it has p…

It is known that there are classes of 2-CNFs requiring exponential size non-deterministic read-once branching programs to compute them. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no superpolynomial lower bounds for branching programs…

We investigate alternating sign matrices that are not permutation matrices, but have finite order in a general linear group. We classify all such examples of the form $P+T$, where $P$ is a permutation matrix and $T$ has four non-zero…

Do complexity classes have many-one complete sets if and only if they have Turing-complete sets? We prove that there is a relativized world in which a relatively natural complexity class-namely a downward closure of NP, \rsnnp - has…

A nut graph is a simple graph whose adjacency matrix has the eigenvalue~0 with multiplicity~1 such that its corresponding eigenvector has no zero entries. Motivated by a question of Fowler et al.~[\emph{Disc. Math. Graph Theory} 40 (2020),…

We prove that if q is in (1,\infty), Y is a Banach space and T is a linear operator defined on the space of finite linear combinations of (1,q)-atoms in R^n which is uniformly bounded on (1,q)-atoms, then T admits a unique continuous…

Given linear diophantine equation Ax=b, rank A=m. Let d be the maximum of absolute values of the mxm minors of the matrix (A | b). It is shown that if M={x : Ax=b, x nonnegative and integer} is nonempty, then there exists x=(x1,...,xn) in…

In this article, we study "questionable representations" of (partial or total) orders, introduced in our previous article "A class of orders with linear? time sorting algorithm". (Later, we consider arbitrary binary functional/relational…

We investigate Banach space automorphisms $T:\ell_\infty/c_0\rightarrow\ell_\infty/c_0 $ focusing on the possibility of representing their fragments of the form $$T_{B,A}:\ell_\infty(A)/c_0(A)\rightarrow \ell_\infty(B)/c_0(B)$$ for $A,…

We study a link between complete non-ambiguous trees (CNATs) and permutations exhibited by Daniel Chen and Sebastian Ohlig in recent work. In this, they associate a certain permutation to the leaves of a CNAT, and show that the number of…
