An {\em $m\times n$ row-column factorial design} is an arrangement of the elements of a factorial design into a rectangular array. Such an array is used in experimental design, where the rows and columns can act as blocking factors. If for…
In extremal set theory our usual goal is to find the maximal size of a family of subsets of an $n$-element set satisfying a condition. A condition is called chain-dependent, if it is satisfied for a family if and only if it is satisfied for…
We give bounds for the number and the size of the primes $p$ such that a reduction modulo $p$ of a system of multivariate polynomials over the integers with a finite number $T$ of complex zeros, does not have exactly $T$ zeros over the…
Twin prime number problem is mainly the structure of the twin prime numbers and whether there are infinitely many prime twins group. In this paper, by constructing a special cluster number set(see formula(2.3)in the paper), proves that the…
In this work of thesis we introduce and study a new family of sorting devices, which we call pattern-avoiding machines. They consist of two stacks in series, equipped with a greedy procedure. On both stacks we impose a static constraint in…
This paper is concerned with the problem of designing distributed control protocols for network systems affected by delays and disturbances consisting of a first-order polynomial component and a residual signal. Specifically, we propose the…
We present a recursive construction of a (2t + 1)-wise uniform set of permutations on 2n objects using a (2t + 1) - (2n, n, \cdot) combinatorial design, a t-wise uniform set of permutations on n objects and a (2t+1)-wise uniform set of…
Constrained codes are used to prevent errors from occurring in various data storage and data transmission systems. They can help in increasing the storage density of magnetic storage devices, in managing the lifetime of electronic storage…
Matching mechanisms play a central role in operations management across diverse fields including education, healthcare, and online platforms. However, experimentally comparing a new matching algorithm against a status quo presents some…
Many machine learning problems require the prediction of multi-dimensional labels. Such structured prediction models can benefit from modeling dependencies between labels. Recently, several deep learning approaches to structured prediction…
We study the Borel-reducibility of isomorphism relations of complete first order theories and show the consistency of the following: For all such theories T and T', if T is classifiable and T' is not, then the isomorphism of models of T' is…
We prove a general lemma (inspired by a lemma of Holroyd and Talbot) about the connection of the largest cardinalities (or weight) of structures satisfying some hereditary property and substructures satisfying the same hereditary property.…
Recently, Brualdi and Cao studied $I_k$-avoiding $(0,1)$-matrices by decomposing them into zigzag paths and proved that the maximum number of $1$'s in such a matrix is given by an exact formula. We further study the structure of maximal…
In 1950, B.A. Trakhtenbrot showed that the set of first-order tautologies associated to finite models is not recursively enumerable. In 1999, P. H\'ajek generalized this result to the first-order versions of \L ukasiewicz, G\"odel and…
An important yet challenging problem in numerical linear algebra is finding a principal submatrix with maximum determinant from a given symmetric positive semidefinite matrix. This problem arises in experimental design, statistics, and…
In an order-of-addition experiment, each treatment is a permutation of m components. It is often unaffordable to test all the m! treatments, and the design problem arises. We consider a model that incorporates the order of each pair of…
Explicit expressions are considered for the generating functions concerning the number of planar diagrams with given numbers of 3- and 4-point vertices. It is observed that planar renormalization theory requires diagrams with restrictions,…
The stack sort algorithm has been the subject of extensive study over the years. In this paper we explore a generalized version of this algorithm where instead of avoiding a single decrease, the stack avoids a set $T$ of permutations. We…
Interdiction problems ask about the worst-case impact of a limited change to an underlying optimization problem. They are a natural way to measure the robustness of a system, or to identify its weakest spots. Interdiction problems have been…
In this paper, we are concerned with the inversion of circulant matrices and their quantized tensor-train (QTT) structure. In particular, we show that the inverse of a complex circulant matrix $A$, generated by the first column of the form…
