Kitaev, Potapov, and Vajnovszki [On shortening u-cycles and u-words for permutations, Discrete Appl. Math, 2019] described how to shorten universal words for permutations, to length $n!+n-1-i(n-1)$ for any $i \in [(n-2)!]$, by introducing…
For $n>3$, every $n\times n$ partial Cayley matrix with at most $n-1$ holes can be reconstructed by quadrangle criterion. Moreover, the holes can be filled in given order. Without additional assumptions, this is the best possible result.…
Picking permutations at random, the expected number of k-cycles is known to be 1/k and is, in particular, independent of the size of the permuted set. This short note gives similar size-independent statistics of finite general linear…
In this article, we describe an algorithm to determine whether a permutation class C given by a finite basis B of excluded patterns contains a finite number of simple permutations. This is a continuation of the work initiated in [Brignall,…
Recently, P. Yuan presented a local method to find permutation polynomials and their compositional inverses over finite fields. The work of P. Yuan inspires us to compute the compositional inverses of three classes of the permutation…
We study the mixing properties of permutations obtained as a product of two uniformly random permutations of fixed cycle types. For instance, we give an exact formula for the probability that elements $1,2,...,k$ are in distinct cycles of…
Let B(n) be the set of pairs of permutations from the symmetric group of degree n with a 3-cycle commutator, and let A(n) be the set of those pairs which generate the symmetric or the alternating group of degree n. We find effective…
We study random typical minimal factorizations of the $n$-cycle into transpositions, which are factorizations of $(1, \ldots,n)$ as a product of $n-1$ transpositions. By viewing transpositions as chords of the unit disk and by reading them…
Permutation $\sigma$ appears in permutation $\pi$ if there exists a subsequence of $\pi$ that is order-isomorphic to $\sigma$. The natural question is to check if $\sigma$ appears in $\pi$, and if so count the number of occurrences. We know…
We give a criterion for a collection of polynomials to be a universal Gr\"{o}bner basis for an ideal in terms of the multidegree of the closure of the corresponding affine variety in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^N$. This criterion can be used to give…
An $n\times n$ matrix $M=[m_{ij}]$ with $m_{ij}\in U_n=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ will be called a cycle matrix if $(U_n,\cdot)$ is a cycle set, where $i\cdot j=m_{ij}$. We study these matrices in this article. Using these matrices, we give some…
This paper presents some basic theorems giving the structure of cyclic codes of length n over the ring of integers modulo p^a and over the p-adic numbers, where p is a prime not dividing n. An especially interesting example is the 2-adic…
We investigate a generalization of stacks that we call $\mathcal{C}$-machines. We show how this viewpoint rapidly leads to functional equations for the classes of permutations that $\mathcal{C}$-machines generate, and how these systems of…
We introduce circulant matrices that capture the structure of a skew-polynomial ring F[x;\theta] modulo the left ideal generated by a polynomial of the type x^n-a. This allows us to develop an approach to skew-constacyclic codes based on…
In this article we answer a question asked by Chien et al. in arXiv:2304.06050 in which they study the numerical range of weighted cyclic matrices under permutation of their entries. Namely, we are interested in how $w(A_\sigma)$ fluctuates…
Let ${\mathcal W}_n$ denote any of the three families of classical Weyl groups: the symmetric groups ${\mathcal S}_n$, the hyperoctahedral groups (signed permutation groups) ${\mathcal S}^B_n$, or the even-signed permutation groups…
In 1993, Savage, Squire, and West described an inductive construction for generating every acyclic orientation of a chordal graph exactly once, flipping one arc at a time. We provide two generalizations of this result. Firstly, we describe…
The problem of linear and circular permutations of n identical objects in m boxes, where a limit l is imposed on the number of objects in a box, is considered. In the linear case, where the boxes are arranged as a row, two methods of…
Let $A$ be a set of natural numbers and let $S_{n,A}$ be the set of all permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n\}$ with cycle lengths belonging to $A$. For $A(n)=A\cap [n]$, the limit $\rho=\lim_{n\to\infty}\mid A(n)\mid/n$ (if it esists) is…
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, monomials and trinomials over…
