For any field k and any integers m,n with 0 <= 2m <= n+1, let W_n be the k-vector space of sequences (x_0,...,x_n), and let H_m be the subset of W_n consisting of the sequences that satisfy a degree-m linear recursion, that is, for which…

In the heavy quark effective theory, hadronic matrix elements of currents between two hadrons containing a heavy quark are expanded in inverse powers of the heavy quark masses, with coefficients that are functions of the kinematic variable…

We construct explicitly in any finite field of the form Fq[x]/(x^m-a) elements with multiplicative order at least 2^{(2m)^(1/2)}

In this paper, a computationally simple and explicit method of constructing recursive sequence of primitive polynomials of degree $n2^k (k = 1, 2, 3,\ldots)$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is given.

A notion of branch-width, which generalizes the one known for graphs, can be defined for matroids. We first give a proof of the polynomial time model-checking of monadic second-order formulas on representable matroids of bounded…

Motivated by earlier work of P.~A.~MacMahon and recent contributions of T.~Amdeberhan, G.~E.~Andrews, K.~Ono, A.~Singh, and R.~Tauraso on higher-order partition enumerants, we study a class of $q$-series arising from nested divisor…

Factorial designs are often used in various industrial and sociological experiments to identify significant factors and factor combinations that may affect the process response. In the statistics literature, several studies have…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $V\cong{\mathbb F}_q^n$. A $t$-$(n,k,\lambda)_q$ design, or simply a subspace design, is a pair ${\mathcal D}=(V,{\mathcal B})$, where ${\mathcal B}$ is a subset of the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of…

In this paper, we provide a criterion for determining whether multiple shells support a $t$-design. We construct as a corollary an infinite series of $2$-designs using power residue codes.

The ring of q-character polynomials is a q-analog of the classical ring of character polynomials for the symmetric groups. This ring consists of certain class functions defined simultaneously on the groups $Gl_n(F_q)$ for all n, which we…

Various specifiable combinatorial structures, with d extensive parameters, can be exactly sampled both by the recursive method, with linear arithmetic complexity if a heavy preprocessing is performed, or by the Boltzmann method, with…

We develop $D$-optimal designs for linear models with first-order interactions on a subset of the $2^K$ full factorial design region, when both the number of factors set to the higher level and the number of factors set to the lower level…

A groupoid identity is said to be linear of length $2k$ if the same $k$ variables appear on both sides of the identity exactly once. We classify and count all varieties of groupoids defined by a single linear identity. For $k=3$, there are…

In this article, we show the existence of large sets $\operatorname{LS}_2[3](2,k,v)$ for infinitely many values of $k$ and $v$. The exact condition is $v \geq 8$ and $0 \leq k \leq v$ such that for the remainders $\bar{v}$ and $\bar{k}$ of…

We revisit the complexity of building, given a two-dimensional string of size $n$, an indexing structure that allows locating all $k$ occurrences of a two-dimensional pattern of size $m$. While a structure of size $\mathcal{O}(n)$ with…

We discuss the structure of infrared singularities in on-shell QCD amplitudes with massive partons and present a general factorization formula in the limit of small parton masses. The factorization formula gives rise to an all-order…

We give a $q$-analogue of some binomial coefficient identities of Y. Sun [Electron. J. Combin. 17 (2010), #N20] as follows: {align*} \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}{m+k\brack k}_{q^2}{m+1\brack n-2k}_{q} q^{n-2k\choose 2} &={m+n\brack…

A $2$-$(v,k,\lambda)$ design is additive (or strongly additive) if it is possible to embed it in a suitable abelian group $G$ in such a way that its block set is contained in (or coincides with) the set of all the zero-sum $k$-subsets of…

We perform an analysis of the one- and two-loop massive quark form factor in QED in a region expansion, up to next-to-leading power in the quark mass. This yields an extensive set of regional integrals, categorized into three topologies,…
