The distribution of a given sequence in the set of all sequences with n ones and m = M - n zeros are found by relating the problem to the partitions of a natural number in m natural summands, taking into account the order. The formulas…
In 1930, G. H. Hardy and J. E. Littlewood derived results concerning rates of divergence of certain series involving cosecants. In more recent terminology, one of their results can be interpreted in terms of the behaviour of orbits in a…
The pattern of a matrix M is a (0,1)-matrix which replaces all non-zero entries of M with a 1. There are several contexts in which studying the patterns of orthogonal matrices can be useful. One necessary condition for a matrix to be…
The nonnegative rank of a matrix A is the smallest integer r such that A can be written as the sum of r rank-one nonnegative matrices. The nonnegative rank has received a lot of attention recently due to its application in optimization,…
Low rank matrix approximation is an important tool in machine learning. Given a data matrix, low rank approximation helps to find factors, patterns and provides concise representations for the data. Research on low rank approximation…
The class of cographs or complement-reducible graphs is the class of graphs that can be generated from $K_1$ using the operations of disjoint union and complementation. By analogy, this paper introduces the class of binary comatroids as the…
We focus on formulae $\exists X.\, \varphi(\vec{Y}, X)$ of monadic second-order logic over the full binary tree, such that the witness $X$ is a well-founded set. The ordinal rank $\mathrm{rank}(X) < \omega_1$ of such a set $X$ measures its…
The permanent of a multidimensional matrix is the sum of products of entries over all diagonals. By Minc's conjecture, there exists a reachable upper bound on the permanent of 2-dimensional (0,1)-matrices. In this paper we obtain some…
By considering the $M_2$-rank of an overpartition as well as a residual crank, we give another combinatorial refinement of the congruences $\overline{\mbox{spt}}_2(3n)\equiv \overline{\mbox{spt}}_2(3n+1)\equiv 0\pmod{3}$. Here…
A vector space A of matrices is called rank-critical if any vector space that properly contains A has a strictly higher generic rank. I present a sufficient condition for A to be rank-critical, and apply this condition to prove that certain…
Let $K$ be a field, $R=K[x, y]$ the polynomial ring and $\mathcal{M}(K)$ the set of all pairs of square matrices of the same size over $K.$ Pairs $P_1=(A_1,B_1)$ and $P_2=(A_2,B_2)$ from $\mathcal{M}(K)$ are called similar if…
We are interested by holomorphic $d$-webs $W$ of codimension one in a complex $n$-dimensional manifold $M$. If they are ordinary, i.e. if they satisfy to some condition of genericity (whose precise definition is recalled), we proved in [CL]…
Let C_1 and C_2 be skew circuits in a binary matroid having circumference c. For any positive integer k there is a constant a_k such that if min { |A| ; C_1 \subset A \subset E-A} > a_k, then |C_1| + |C_2| < 2c -k.
Rank-metric codes are subspaces of matrices over finite fields endowed with the rank metric and admit a natural tensorial representation. The tensor rank provides a measure of the minimal size of a decomposition of a code into rank-one…
We consider encoding problems for range queries on arrays. In these problems the goal is to store a structure capable of recovering the answer to all queries that occupies the information theoretic minimum space possible, to within lower…
Two matrices are said non-overlapping if one of them can not be put on the other one in a way such that the corresponding entries coincide. We provide a set of non-overlapping binary matrices and a formula to enumerate it which involves the…
The minimum rank of a graph G is the minimum rank over all real symmetric matrices whose off-diagonal sparsity pattern is the same as that of the adjacency matrix of G. In this note we present the first exact algorithm for the minimum rank…
Given a coprime pair $(m,n)$ of positive integers, rational Catalan numbers $\frac{1}{m+n} \binom{m+n}{m,n}$ counts two combinatorial objects:rational $(m,n)$-Dyck paths are lattice paths in the $m\times n$ rectangle that never go below the…
The zero-dilation index $d(A) $ of a matrix $A$ is the largest integer $k$ for which $\begin{bmatrix}0_k& *\\ * & *\end{bmatrix}$ is unitarily similar to $A$. In this study, the zero-dilation indices of certain block matrices are…
