Various specifiable combinatorial structures, with d extensive parameters, can be exactly sampled both by the recursive method, with linear arithmetic complexity if a heavy preprocessing is performed, or by the Boltzmann method, with…

We propose a simple stochastic process for modeling improper or noncircular complex-valued signals. The process is a natural extension of a complex-valued autoregressive process, extended to include a widely linear autoregressive term. This…

Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we determine the explicit complete weight enumerators of two classes of linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and they…

A sequence is called $C$-finite if it satisfies a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We study sequences which satisfy a linear recurrence with $C$-finite coefficients. Recently, it was shown that such $C^2$-finite sequences…

An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides the numerator of one of the numbers $$E_1(0),E_{3}(0),\ldots,E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Euler polynomial. As in the classical case, we link…

Unlike the p = 2 case, the universal Steenrod Algebra Q(p) at odd primes does not have a fractal structure that preserves the length of monomials. Nevertheless, when p is odd we detect inside Q(p) two different families of nested…

We study monogeneity in {\sl period equations}, $\psi_e(x)$, the auxiliary equations introduced by Gauss to solve cyclotomic polynomials by radicals. All monogenic $\psi_e(x)$ of degrees $4 \leq e \leq 250$ are determined for extended…

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and odd residual characteristic. Let $X$ be the $p$-adic symmetric space $X = H \backslash G$, where $G = \mathbf{GL}_{2n}(F)$ and $H = \mathbf{GL}_n(F) \times…

A cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd primes. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Here we…

Very odd sequences were introduced in 1973 by J. Pelikan who conjectured that there were none of length >=5. This conjecture was disproved by MacWilliams and Odlyzko in 1977 who proved there are in fact many very odd sequences. We give…

Over the past few decades, there has been extensive research on scattered subspaces, partly because of their link to MRD codes. These subspaces can be characterized using linearized polynomials over finite fields. Within this context,…

We consider billiard trajectories in a smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^d$ and estimate the number of distinct periodic trajectories that make exactly $p$ reflections per period at the boundary of the body. In the case of prime $p$ we…

The permutation groups of cyclic codes are widely applicable in determining the weight distribution of codes, decoding theory and various other areas. In this paper, by employing two distinct matrix representations, we can relate cyclic…

Cyclic codes have attracted a lot of research interest for decades as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, the weight distributions of two classes of $p$-ary cyclic codes are completely…

Generalised Heegner cycles are associated to a pair of an elliptic Hecke eigenform and a Hecke character over an imaginary quadratic extension $K/\Q$. Let $p$ be an odd prime split in $K/\Q$ and $l\neq p$ an odd unramified prime. We prove…

The Euler quotient modulo an odd-prime power $p^r~(r>1)$ can be uniquely decomposed as a $p$-adic number of the form $$ \frac{u^{(p-1)p^{r-1}} -1}{p^r}\equiv a_0(u)+a_1(u)p+\ldots+a_{r-1}(u)p^{r-1} \pmod {p^r},~ \gcd(u,p)=1, $$ where $0\le…

Let $k=2^mp^n$ for an odd prime $p$ and integers $m\ge 0$ and $n\ge 0$. We obtain lower bounds for the $\rho$-values of cyclotomic families of pairing-friendly elliptic curves with embedding degree $k$ and $r(x)=\Phi_k(x)$. Our bounds imply…
