Alternating Sign Matrix(ASM for short) is a square matrix which is consist of 0, 1 and -1. In this paper, we characterize an ASM by showing a bijection between alternating sign matrix and six vertex model, and a bijection between six vertex…
Two (real or complex) $m\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ are said to be parallel (resp. triangle equality attaining, or TEA in short) with respect to the spectral norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|A+ \mu B\| = \|A\| + \|B\|$ for some scalar $\mu$ with…
A $n\times n$ matrix $A$, which has a certain sign-symmetric structure ($J$--sign-symmetric), is studied in this paper. It is shown that such a matrix is similar to a nonnegative matrix. The existence of the second in modulus positive…
A diagonally symmetric alternating sign matrix (DSASM) is a symmetric matrix with entries $-1$, $0$ and $1$, where the nonzero entries alternate in sign along each row and column, and the sum of the entries in each row and column equals…
Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We present a unifying perspective on ASMs and other combinatorial objects by studying…
Hadamard matrices are square $n\times n$ matrices whose entries are ones and minus ones and whose rows are orthogonal to each other with respect to the standard scalar product in $\Bbb R^n$. Each Hadamard matrix can be transformed to a…
XOR-magic graph labelings form a special subclass of group distance magic labelings. A simple connected graph of order $2^n$ is called an open (respectively, closed) XOR-magic graph of power $n$ if its vertices can be labeled bijectively…
We prove that the signed counting (with respect to the parity of the ``$\operatorname{inv}$'' statistic) of partition matrices equals the cardinality of a subclass of inversion sequences. In the course of establishing this result, we…
A \textit{subtractive arc-magic labeling} (SAML) of a directed graph $G=(V,A)$ is a bijection $\lambda :V\cup A \to \{1,2,\ldots,|V|+|A|\}$ with the property that for every $xy\in A$ we have $\lambda(xy)+\lambda(y)-\lambda(x)$ equals to an…
Let $s(m,n)$ denote the classical \DED sum, where $n$ is a positive integer and $m\in\{0,1,\ldots, n-1\}$, $(m,n)=1$. For a given positive integer $k$, we describe a set of at most $k^2$ numbers $m$ for which $s(m,n)$ may be $\ge s(k,n)$,…
We study a further refinement of the standard refined enumeration of alternating sign matrices (ASMs) according to their first two rows instead of just the first row, and more general "d-refined" enumerations of ASMs according to the first…
A signed polygonal measure is the sum of finitely many real constant density measures supported on polygons. Given a finite set S in the plane, we study the existence of signed polygonal measures spanned by polygons with vertices in S,…
In this paper we confirm a conjecture of Sun which states that each positive integer is a sum of a square, an odd square and a triangular number. Given any positive integer m, we show that p=2m+1 is a prime congruent to 3 modulo 4 if and…
We construct orthogonal arrays OA$_{\lambda} (k,n)$ (of strength two) having a row that is repeated $m$ times, where $m$ is as large as possible. In particular, we consider OAs where the ratio $m / \lambda$ is as large as possible; these…
Given two integers $m$ and $n$ with $m\leq n$, a Latin rectangle of size $m\times n$ is a bi-dimensional array with $m$ rows and $n$ columns filled with symbols from an alphabet with $n$ symbols, such that each row contains a permutation of…
Symbolic Finite Automata and Register Automata are two orthogonal extensions of finite automata motivated by real-world problems where data may have unbounded domains. These automata address a demand for a model over large or infinite…
A sign pattern is a matrix that has entries from the set $\{+,-,0\}$. An $n\times n$ sign pattern $\mathcal{P}$ is called consistent if every real matrix in its qualitative class has exactly $k$ real eigenvalues and $n-k$ nonreal…
For $S$ a set of positive integers, and $k$ and $r$ fixed positive integers, denote by $f(S,k;r)$ the least positive integer $n$ (if it exists) such that within every $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,...,n\}$ there must be a monochromatic sequence…
A signed graph is one that features two types of edges: positive and negative. Balanced signed graphs are those in which all cycles contain an even number of positive edges. In the adjacency matrix of a signed graph, entries can be $0$,…
The perfect matching association scheme is a set of relations on the perfect matchings of the complete graph on $2n$ vertices. The relations between perfect matchings are defined by the cycle structure of the union of any two perfect…
