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…
Delsarte-Goethals-Seidel showed that if $X$ is a spherical $t$-design with degree $s$ satisfying $t\geq 2s-2$, $X$ carries the structure of an association scheme. Also Bannai-Bannai showed that the same conclusion holds if $X$ is an…
A roux scheme is an association scheme formed from a special "roux" matrix and the regular permutation representation of an associated group. They were introduced by Iverson and Mixon for their connection to equiangular tight frames and…
This paper investigates the symmetry properties of basins of attraction and their boundaries in equivariant dynamical systems. While the symmetry groups of compact attractors are well understood, the corresponding analysis for non-compact…
A mixed circulant graph is called integral if all eigenvalues of its Hermitian adjacency matrix are integers. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the existence of perfect state transfer (PST for short) and multiple state…
A Hadamard matrix $H$ of order $n$ is a square matrix with entries $\pm 1$ satisfying $HH^T = nI_n$, where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$. A circulant Hadamard matrix is a Hadamard matrix whose rows are cyclic shifts of one…
A cycle-transversal of a graph G is a subset T of V(G) such that T intersects every cycle of G. A clique cycle-transversal, or cct for short, is a cycle-transversal which is a clique. Recognizing graphs which admit a cct can be done in…
People organize in groups and contagions spread across them. A simple stochastic process, yet complex to model due to dynamical correlations within and between groups. Moreover, groups can evolve if agents join or leave in response to…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have nice applications in coding theory, finite geometries and several engineering areas. The objective of this paper is to study how to obtain $3$-designs with $2$-transitive permutation groups. The incidence…
Block-transitive Steiner $t$-designs form a central part of the study of highly symmetric combinatorial configurations at the interface of several disciplines, including group theory, geometry, combinatorics, coding and information theory,…
In [3], Hanaki defined the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a commutative unital ring. In this paper, we call the Terwilliger algebras of association schemes over a field $\mathbb{F}$ the Terwilliger $\mathbb{F}$-algebras of…
We introduce a simple model of active transport for an ensemble of particles driven by an external shear flow. Active refers to the fact that the flow of the particles is modified by the distribution of particles itself. The model consists…
An arrangement of pseudocircles is a finite set of oriented closed Jordan curves each two of which cross each other in exactly two points. To describe the combinatorial structure of arrangements on closed orientable surfaces, in (Linhart,…
This paper investigates chains of rotating boson stars (BSs) within Einstein gravity coupled to a complex scalar field. The model incorporates quartic or sextic self-interactions in the scalar Lagrangian, which support the existence of…
A permutation statistic $\operatorname{st}$ is said to be shuffle-compatible if the distribution of $\operatorname{st}$ over the set of shuffles of two disjoint permutations $\pi$ and $\sigma$ depends only on $\operatorname{st}\pi$,…
We classify the pairwise transitive 2-designs, that is, 2-designs such that a group of automorphisms is transitive on the following five sets of ordered pairs: point-pairs, incident point-block pairs, non-incident point-block pairs,…
Leading towards the classification of primitive commutative association schemes as the ultimate goal, Bannai and some of his school have been trying to * identify the major sources of (primitive) commutative association schemes, * collect…
A graph is said to be a bi-Cayley graph over a group H if it admits H as a group of automorphisms acting semiregularly on its vertices with two orbits. For a prime p, we call a bi-Cayley graph over a metacyclic p-group a bi-p-metacirculant.…
Apart from the role the clustering coefficient plays in the definition of the small-world phenomena, it also has great relevance for practical problems involving networked dynamical systems. To study the impact of the clustering coefficient…
Matrices are two-dimensional data structures allowing one to conceptually organize information. For example, adjacency matrices are useful to store the links of a network; correlation matrices are simple ways to arrange gene co-expression…
