Recently, a construction of group divisible designs (GDDs) derived from the decoding of quadratic residue (QR) codes was given. In this paper, we extend the idea to obtain a new family of GDDs, which is also involved with a well-known…

Frame difference families, which can be obtained via a careful use of cyclotomic conditions attached to strong difference families, play an important role in direct constructions for resolvable balanced incomplete block designs. We…

The paper explores the correspondence between balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD) and certain linear CNF formulas by identifying the points of a block design with the clauses of the Boolean formula and blocks with Boolean variables.…

Generalising the concept of a complete permutation polynomial over a finite field, we define completness to level $k$ for $k\ge1$ in fields of odd characteristic. We construct two families of polynomials that satisfy the condition of high…

An infinite family of exactly-solvable and integrable potentials on a plane is introduced. It is shown that all already known rational potentials with the above properties allowing separation of variables in polar coordinates are particular…

All groups have 2 generators. For every prime power q, the Generalized Burnside Theorem (Theorem GB) produces an infinite number of solvable groups, Some, such as groups of a prime power exponent, have only elements of finite order and are…

Let $q$ be a fixed odd prime. We show that a finite subset $B$ of integers, not containing any perfect $q^{th}$ power, contains a $q^{th}$ power modulo almost every prime if and only if $B$ corresponds to a blocking set (with respect to…

Balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs) are a class of designs with v treatments and b blocks of size k that are optimal with regards to a wide range of optimality criteria, but it is not clear which designs to choose for combinations of…

We give explicit constructions for incomplete pairwise balanced designs IPBD$((v;w),K)$, or, equivalently, edge-decompositions of a difference of two cliques $K_v \setminus K_w$ into cliques whose sizes belong to the set $K$. Our…

We construct new families of U_q(gl_n)-modules by continuation from finite dimensional representations. Each such module is associated with a combinatorial object - admissible set of relations defined in \cite{FRZ}. More precisely, we prove…

We give a construction of the projective indecomposable modules and a description of the quiver for a large class of monoid algebras including the algebra of any finite monoid whose principal right ideals have at most one idempotent…

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…

The obvious way to construct a GDD (group-divisible design) recursively is to use Wilson's Fundamental Construction for GDDs (WFC). Then a PBD (pairwise balanced design) is often obtained by adding a new point to each group of the GDD.…

We prove that a commutative association scheme is imprimitive if and only if it admits a multivariate $P$- or $Q$-polynomial structure with respect to an elimination-type monomial order. This provides a direct bridge between the classical…

Infinite families of multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials are discovered as the solutions of exactly solvable one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems. The simplest examples, the one-indexed orthogonal polynomials, are the infinite…

In this note we establish a 1-to-1 correspondence between the class of generalized quadrangles with ovoids and the class of balanced incomplete block designs that posses a non-triangular local resolution system and have the appropriate…

We prove the result in the title. We infer, that unlike cylindric algebras, there is a first order axiomatization of the class of completely representable polyadic algebras of infinite dimension, though the one we obtain is infinite; in…

We prove several congruences satisfied by the generalized cubic and generalized overcubic partition functions, recently introduced by Amdeberhan, Sellers, and Singh. We also prove infinite families of congruences modulo powers of $2$ and…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p > 0$. For $G$ an elementary abelian $p$-group, there exist collections of permutation module such that if $C^*$ is any exact bounded complex whose terms are sums of copies of modules from the…

We give a construction that in many cases gives a simple way to construct infinite families of algebras that are not Morita equivalent, but are all derived equivalent to the same block algebra of a finite group, and apply it to some small…
