In this paper, we bound the rate of linear codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ with the property that any $k\leq q$ codewords are all simultaneously distinct in at least $d_k$ coordinates. For the case of particular interest $q=k=3$ we recover, with…
Dirac's theorem determines the sharp minimum degree threshold for graphs to contain perfect matchings and Hamiltonian cycles. There have been various attempts to generalize this theorem to hypergraphs with larger uniformity by considering…
We introduce new sufficient conditions for permutation and monomial equivalence of linear cyclic codes over various finite fields. We recall that monomial equivalence and isometric equivalence are the same relation for linear codes over…
We provide a new approach for establishing hardness of approximation results, based on the theory recently introduced by the author. It allows one to directly show that approximating a problem beyond a certain threshold requires…
In this paper we study some variants of Dirac-type problems in hypergraphs. First, we show that for $k\ge 3$, if $H$ is a $k$-graph on $n\in k\mathbb N$ vertices with independence number at most $n/p$ and minimum codegree at least…
We determine a positive real number (weight), which corresponds to a vertex of a tetrahedron and it depends on the three weights which correspond to the other three vertices and an infinitesimal number $\epsilon.$ As a limiting case, for…
K\"{u}hn, Osthus, and Treglown and, independently, Khan proved that if $H$ is a $3$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices such that $n\in 3\mathbb{Z}$ and large, and $\delta_1(H)>{n-1\choose 2}-{2n/3\choose 2}$, then $H$ contains a perfect…
A hypergraph is \textit{bipartite with bipartition $(A, B)$} if every edge has exactly one vertex in $A$, and a matching in such a hypergraph is \textit{$A$-perfect} if it saturates every vertex in $A$. We prove an upper bound on the number…
We compute a minimum degree threshold sufficient for 3-partite graphs to admit a fractional triangle decomposition. Together with recent work of Barber, K\"uhn, Lo, Osthus and Taylor, this leads to bounds for exact decompositions and in…
We prove that any homogeneous order one solution to 3-d nondivergence elliptic equations must be linear.
Galluccio--Loebl and Tesler showed that the perfect-matching polynomial of a graph embedded in an orientable surface of genus $g$ can be written as a linear combination of at most $4^g$ Pfaffians. We show that, in general, exponentially…
This paper presents new upper bounds on the rate of linear $k$-hash codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, $q\geq k$, that is, codes with the property that any $k$ distinct codewords are all simultaneously distinct in at least one coordinate.
Linear codes with small hulls over finite fields have been extensively studied due to their practical applications in computational complexity and information protection. In this paper, we develop a general method to determine the exact…
The Golomb-Welch conjecture states that there are no perfect $e$-error-correcting Lee codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ ($PL(n,e)$-codes) whenever $n\geq 3$ and $e\geq 2$. A special case of this conjecture is when $e=2$. In a recent paper of A.…
Every triangle-free planar graph on n vertices has an independent set of size at least (n+1)/3, and this lower bound is tight. We give an algorithm that, given a triangle-free planar graph G on n vertices and an integer k>=0, decides…
One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…
Completely regular codes with covering radius $\rho=1$ must have minimum distance $d\leq 3$. For $d=3$, such codes are perfect and their parameters are well known. In this paper, the cases $d=1$ and $d=2$ are studied and completely…
We consider constraints on higher dimensional operators for supersymmetric effective field theories. In four dimensions with maximal supersymmetry and SU(4) R-symmetry, we demonstrate that the coefficients of abelian operators F^n with MHV…
In 1968, Golomb and Welch conjectured that there is no perfect Lee codes with radius $r\ge2$ and dimension $n\ge3$. A diameter perfect code is a natural generalization of the perfect code. In 2011, Etzion (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory,…
Let $L$ be a finite sequence of natural numbers. In Woryna (2017,2018), we derived some interesting properties for the ratio $\rho_{n,L}=|PR_n(L)|/|UD_n(L)|$, where $UD_n(L)$ denotes the set of all codes over an $n$-letter alphabet and with…
