In this note, we show that among finite nilpotent groups of a given order or finite groups of a given odd order, the cyclic group of that order has the minimum number of edges in its cyclic subgroup graph. We also conjecture that this holds…
Recently Lin, Wang and Zhou have proved that every $3$-connected nonbipartite graph of minimum degree at least $k$ with $k\ge 6$ and order at least $k+2$ contains $k$ cycles of consecutive lengths. They also conjecture that this result is…
We show that it is possible to algorithmically verify if a given pattern sequence is noncorrelated. As an application, we compute that there are exactly $2272$ noncorrelated binary pattern sequences of length $\leq 4$. If we restrict our…
A set of $n$-lattice points in the plane, no three on a line and no four on a circle, such that all pairwise distances and all coordinates are integral is called an $n$-cluster (in $\mathbb{R}^2$). We determine the smallest existent…
In this paper, new relations between the derivatives of the Legendre polynomials are obtained, and by these relations, new upper bounds for the Legendre coefficients of differentiable functions are presented. These upper bounds are sharp…
The Collatz sequence for a given natural number $N$ is generated by repeatedly applying the map $N$ $\rightarrow$ $3N+1$ if $N$ is odd and $N$ $\rightarrow$ $N/2$ if $N$ is even. One elusive open problem in Mathematics is whether all such…
A binary matrix has the consecutive ones property (C1P) if it is possible to order the columns so that all 1s are consecutive in every row. In [McConnell, SODA 2004 768-777] the notion of incompatibility graph of a binary matrix was…
Around the year 2007, one of the authors, Tsai, accidentally discovered a property of the number $198$ he saw on the license plate of a car. Namely, if we take $198$ and its reversal $891$, which have prime factorizations $198 = 2\cdot…
The collection of cyclic Hadamard matrices {H = (a_{i - j}) : 0 <= i, j < n, and a_i = -1, 1} of order n is characterized by the orthogonality relation HH^T = nI. Only two of such matrices are currently known. It will be shown that this…
Twins in a finite word are formed by a pair of identical subwords placed at disjoint sets of positions. We investigate the maximum length of twins in a random word over a $k$-letter alphabet. The obtained lower bounds for small values of…
We prove that an inseparable graph can have any positive number of cycles with the six exceptions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 16, and that an inseparable cubic graph has the additional exceptions 1 and 13. The exceptions for simple inseparable cubic…
Using techniques from calculus, we combine classical identities for $\pi$, $\operatorname{ln}2$, and harmonic numbers, to arrive at a nice infinite series formula for $\pi/3$ that does not appear to be well known. In addition, we give…
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. Let $m=2\ell+1$ for an integer $\ell\geq 1$…
In this paper, we construct a new family of distance-optimal binary cyclic codes with the minimum distance $6$ and a new family of distance-optimal quaternary cyclic codes with the minimum distance $4$. We also construct several families of…
Let $r,s,t$ be three positive integers and $\mathcal{C}$ be a binary linear code of lenght $r+s+t$. We say that $\mathcal{C}$ is a triple cyclic code of lenght $(r,s,t)$ over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into…
Over 300 sequences and many unsolved problems and conjectures related to them are presented herein together with theorems corollaries, formulae, examples, mathematical criteria, etc. (about integer sequences, numbers, quotients, residues,…
Four new relations have been found between the Stirling numbers of first and second kind. They are derived directly from recently published relations.
We construct an algorithm to decide whether two given Legendrian or transverse links are equivalent. In general, the complexity of the algorithm is too high for practical implementation. However, in many cases, when the symmetry group of…
For a knot $K$ the cube number is a knot invariant defined to be the smallest $n$ for which there is a cube diagram of size $n$ for $K$. There is also a Legendrian version of this invariant called the \emph{Legendrian cube number}. We will…
The surgery unknotting number of a Legendrian link is defined as the minimal number of particular oriented surgeries that are required to convert the link into a Legendrian unknot. Lower bounds for the surgery unknotting number are given in…
