In this paper we present a new class of integer partition identities. The number of partitions with d-distant parts can be represented as a sum of the number of partitions with 1-distant parts whose even parts are greater than twice the…

In a recent paper, Bringmann, Craig, Ono, and the author showed that the number of $t$-hooks ($t\geq2$) among all partitions of $n$ is not always asymptotically equidistributed on congruence classes $a \pmod{b}$. In this short note, we…

Some new necessary conditions for the existence of vector space partitions are derived. They are applied to the problem of finding the maximum number of spaces of dimension t in a vector space partition of V(2t,q) that contains m_d spaces…

It is well-known that two conjugate partitions have the same hook multiset. But two different partitions with the same hook multiset may not be conjugate to each other. In $1977$, Herman and Chung proposed the following question: What are…

Recently, Byrnes presented a formula for the maximum length of a symmetric circuit code that has a long bit run and odd spread. Here we show that the formula is also valid when the spread is even. We also establish that all maximum length…

In this paper, we study the extremal behaviour of deep holes in polyominoes. We determine the maximum number, $h_n$ of deep holes that an $n$-omino can enclose, ensuring that the boundary of each hole is disjoint from the boundaries of any…

We determine the maximum number of edges that a planar graph can have as a function of its maximum degree and matching number.

We study the slices or sections of a convex polytope by affine hyperplanes. We present results on two key problems: First, we provide tight bounds on the maximum number of vertices attainable by a hyperplane slice of $d$-polytope (a sort of…

A partition is called an $(s_1,s_2,\dots,s_p)$-core partition if it is simultaneously an $s_i$-core for all $i=1,2,\dots,p$. Simultaneous core partitions have been actively studied in various directions. In particular, researchers concerned…

We present a novel feasibility criteria for the finite intersection of convex sets given by inequalities. This criteria allows us to easily assert the feasibility by analyzing the unconstrained minimum of a speci?fic convex function, that…

We show that the maximum number of unit distances or of diameters in a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is attained only by specific types of Lenz constructions, for all d >= 4 and n sufficiently large, depending on d. As a…

This note introduces some bijections relating core partitions and tuples of integers. We apply these bijections to count the number of cores with various types of restriction, including fixed number of parts, limited size of parts, parts…

A classic result due to Douglas establishes that, for odd spread $k$ and dimension $d=\frac{1}{2}(3k+3)$, all maximum length $(d,k)$ circuit codes are isomorphic. Using a recent result of Byrnes we extend Douglas's theorem to prove that,…

A lattice-path description of $K$-restricted jagged partitions is presented. The corresponding lattice paths can have peaks only at even $x$ coordinate and the maximal value of the height cannot be larger than $K-1$. Its weight is twice…

The problem of decomposing the Kronecker product of $S_n$ characters is one of the last major open problems in the ordinary representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$. Here we prove upper and lower polynomial bounds for the…

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher applied the notion of fixed points to integer partitions. This has already been generalized and refined in various ways such as $h$-fixed points for an integer parameter $h$ by Hopkins and Sellers. Here, we…

Let $p_{\textrm{dsd}} (n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct squarefree divisors of $n$. In this note, we find a lower bound for $p_{\textrm{dsd}} (n)$, as well as a sequence of $n$ for which $p_{\textrm{dsd}} (n)$ is…

We provide two constructions for $t$ edge-disjoint maximal outerplanar graphs on every number of $n \geq 4t$ vertices. The bound on the minimum number of vertices is tight. These constructions yield the existence of optimal…

In the Matching Cut problem we ask whether a graph $G$ has a matching cut, that is, a matching which is also an edge cut of $G$. We consider the variants Perfect Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching where we ask whether there…

This article explores additive codes with one-rank hull, offering key insights and constructions. The article introduces a novel approach to finding one-rank hull codes over finite fields by establishing a connection between self-orthogonal…
