A $d$-dimensional matrix is called \emph{$1$-polystochastic} if it is non-negative and the sum over each line equals~$1$. Such a matrix that has a single $1$ in each line and zeros elsewhere is called a \emph{$1$-permutation} matrix. A…

An undirected simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is called antimagic if there exists an injective function $f:E\rightarrow\{1,\dots,|E|\}$ such that $\sum_{e\in E(u)} f(e)\neq\sum_{e\in E(v)} f(e)$ for any pair of different nodes $u,v\in V$. In a…

The enumeration of diagonally symmetric alternating sign matrices (DSASMs) is studied, and a Pfaffian formula is obtained for the number of DSASMs of any fixed size, where the entries for the Pfaffian are positive integers given by simple…

A vertex labeling of a hypergraph is sum distinguishing if it uses positive integers and the sums of labels taken over the distinct hyperedges are distinct. Let s(H) be the smallest integer N such that there is a sum-distinguishing labeling…

An associative magic square is a magic square such that the sum of any 2 cells at symmetric positions with respect to the center is constant. The total number of associative magic squares of order 7 is enormous, and thus, it is not…

The Antimagic Graph Conjecture asserts that every connected graph $G = (V, E)$ except $K_2$ admits an edge labeling such that each label $1, 2, \dots, |E|$ is used exactly once and the sums of the labels on all edges incident to a given…

A \textit{subtractive arc-magic labeling} (SAML) of a directed graph $G=(V,A)$ is a bijection $\lambda :V\cup A \to \{1,2,\ldots,|V|+|A|\}$ with the property that for every $xy\in A$ we have $\lambda(xy)+\lambda(y)-\lambda(x)$ equals to an…

In recent years, a variety of randomized constructions of sketching matrices have been devised, that have been used in fast algorithms for numerical linear algebra problems, such as least squares regression, low-rank approximation, and the…

Let $n, r, s$ be three positive integers such that $n\geq 2s+5$. Let $K_r$ denote the complete graph of order $r$. Given a graph $F$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n,F)$ is defined as the minimum number $C$ such that any edge-coloring of $K_n$…

A $labeling$ of a digraph $D$ with $m$ arcs is a bijection from the set of arcs of $D$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$. A labeling of $D$ is $antimagic$ if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u \in V(D)$…

An antimagic labeling of a graph $G$ with $m$ edges is a bijection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ such that for all vertices $u$ and $v$, the sum of labels on edges incident to $u$ differs from that for edges incident to $v$. Hartsfield…

For a graph on $m$ edges, a bijective function between the edge set of the graph and $\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$ is an antimagic labeling provided that when adding the labels of the edges incident to the same vertex, the sums are pairwise distinct.…

A $k$-antimagic labeling of a graph $G$ is an injection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\dots,|E(G)|+k\}$ such that all vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex sum at vertex $u$ is the sum of the labels assigned to edges incident to $u$.…

An alternating sign matrix, or ASM, is a $(0, \pm 1)$-matrix where the nonzero entries in each row and column alternate in sign. We generalize this notion to hypermatrices: an $n\times n\times n$ hypermatrix $A=[a_{ijk}]$ is an {\em…

We define a magic square to be a square matrix whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose rows, columns, and main diagonals sum up to the same number. We prove structural results for the number of such squares as a function of the…
