For various $2\leq n,m \leq 6$, we propose some new algorithms for multiplying an $n\times m$ matrix with an $m \times 6$ matrix over a possibly noncommutative coefficient ring.
We prove an identity for five arguments, valid in the lattice of natural numbers with gcd and lcm as lattice operations. More generally, this identity characterizes arbitrary distributive lattices. Fixing three of the five arguments, we…
The two basic equations satisfied by the parameters of a block design define a three-dimensional affine variety $\mathcal{D}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{5}$. A point of $\mathcal{D}$ that is not in some sense trivial lies on four lines lying in…
Inspired by protein folding, we explored the construction of three-dimensional structures and machines from one-dimensional chains of simple building blocks. This approach not only allows us to recreate the self-replication mechanism…
An effective indexing scheme for clusters that enables fast structure comparison and congruence check is desperately desirable in the field of mathematics, artificial intelligence, materials science, etc. Here we introduce the concept of…
The massless vector Schwinger model with $N_f=1,2,3,4$ number of flavors is studied on the lattice using the overlap formalism. A full Monte Carlo simulation yields values for the bilinear fermion condensate that are in agreement with the…
QCD with eight flavors is studied on $16^3\times N_t$ lattices with $N_t=4$, 6, 8, 16 and 32, a dynamical quark mass $ma=0.015$ and lattice coupling $\beta=6/g^2$ between 4.5 and 5.0. For $N_t=16$ and 32, hadron masses and screening lengths…
Dissections of a square into smaller squares, with the smaller squares having relatively prime sizes, are known as Mrs Perkins's quilts. A representation of these dissections using graphs is presented. The edges are directed and coloured…
An alternating sign matrix is a square matrix satisfying (i) all entries are equal to 1, -1 or 0; (ii) every row and column has sum 1; (iii) in every row and column the non-zero entries alternate in sign. The 8-element group of symmetries…
A first step in exploring population structure in crop plants and other organisms is to define the number of subpopulations that exist for a given data set. The genetic marker data sets being generated have become increasingly large over…
Iterative methods for solving large sparse systems of linear equations are widely used in many HPC applications. Extreme scaling of these methods can be difficult, however, since global communication to form dot products is typically…
Difference triangle sets are useful in many practical problems of information transmission. This correspondence studies combinatorial and computational constructions for difference triangle sets having small scopes. Our algorithms have been…
Latin hypercube designs achieve optimal univariate stratifications and are useful for computer experiments. Sliced Latin hypercube designs are Latin hypercube designs that can be partitioned into smaller Latin hypercube designs. In this…
A \textbf{double-change covering design} (DCCD) is a $v$-set $V$ and an ordered list $\mathcal{L}$ of $b$ blocks of size $k$ where every pair from $V$ must occur in at least one block and each pair of consecutive blocks differs by exactly…
Nested space-filling designs are nested designs with attractive low-dimensional stratification. Such designs are gaining popularity in statistics, applied mathematics and engineering. Their applications include multi-fidelity computer…
We develop and deploy a set of constraints for the purpose of calculating minimal sizes of lottery designs. Specifically, we find the minimum number of tickets of size six which are needed to match at least two balls on any draw of size…
Systematic differences in experimental materials, methods, measurements, and data handling between labs, over time, and among personnel can sabotage experimental reproducibility. Uncovering such differences can be difficult and time…
We introduce an alternative stratification of knots: by the size of lattice on which a knot can be first met. Using this classification, we find ratio of unknots and knots with more than 10 minimal crossings inside different lattices and…
Suppose a d-dimensional lattice cube of size n^d is colored in several colors so that no face of its triangulation (subdivision of the standard partition into n^d small cubes) is colored in m+2 colors. Then one color is used at least…
We have done simulations of lattice QCD with different numbers of light dynamical quarks. Since we cannot reach the continuum limit with our current computers, we have done comparisons with 0 (quenched), 2 and 4 light quark flavors with the…
