The main purpose of the present paper is to study the numerical properties of supersolvable resolutions of line arrangements. We provide upper-bounds on the so-called extension to supersolvability numbers for certain extreme line…
We generalize the example of linear set presented by the last two authors in "Vertex properties of maximum scattered linear sets of $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$" (2019) to a more general family, proving that such linear sets are maximum scattered…
We begin by revisiting a paper of Erd\H{o}s and Fishburn, which posed the following question: given $k\in \mathbb{N}$, what is the maximum number of points in a plane that determine at most $k$ distinct distances, and can such optimal…
We present a construction for minimal blocking sets with respect to $(k-1)$-spaces in $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q^t)$, the $(n-1)$-dimensional projective space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^t}$ of order $q^t$. The construction relies on the…
We study how the supporting hyperplanes produced by the projection process can complement the method of alternating projections and its variants for the convex set intersection problem. For the problem of finding the closest point in the…
Experimental designs that spread out points apart from each other on projections are important for computer experiments when not necessarily all factors have substantial influence on the response. We provide a theoretical framework to…
In this paper, we study an inverse problem of determining the cross section of an infinitely long cylindrical-like material structure from the transverse electromagnetic scattering measurement. We establish a sharp logarithmic stability…
Large deviation statistics is implemented to predict the statistics of cosmic densities in cylinders applicable to photometric surveys. It yields few percent accurate analytical predictions for the one-point probability distribution…
The study of linear codes over a finite field of odd cardinality, derived from determinantal varieties obtained from symmetric matrices of bounded rank, was initiated in a recent paper by the authors. There, one found the minimum distance…
Let ${\cal S}_+^n \subset {\cal S}^n$ be the cone of positive semi-definite matrices as a subset of the vector space of real symmetric $n \times n$ matrices. The intersection of ${\cal S}_+^n$ with a linear subspace of ${\cal S}^n$ is…
We measure stability of two-dimensional granular mixtures in a rotating drum and relate grain configurations to stability. For our system, the smaller but smoother grains cluster near the center of the drum, while the larger, rougher grains…
We develop techniques to construct a series of sparse polyhedral approximations of the semidefinite cone. Motivated by the semidefinite (SD) bases proposed by Tanaka and Yoshise (2018), we propose a simple expansion of SD bases so as to…
Linear intersection pairs of linear codes have become of interest due to their nice algebraic properties and wide applications. In this paper, we focus on linear intersection pairs of cyclic codes over finite fields. Some properties of…
In this paper, we examine the combinatorial properties of conic arrangements in the complex projective plane that possess certain quasi-homogeneous singularities. First, we introduce a new tool that enables us to characterize the property…
The maximum stable set problem is a well-known NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization, which can be formulated as the maximization of a quadratic square-free polynomial over the (Boolean) hypercube. We investigate a hierarchy of…
We find minimal and maximal length of intersections of lines at a fixed distance to the origin with the cross-polytope. We also find maximal volume noncentral sections of the cross-polypote by hyperplanes which are at a fixed large distance…
We consider constellations of disks which are unions of disjoint hyperbolic disks in the unit disk with fixed radii and unfixed centers. We study the problem of maximizing the conformal capacity of a constellation with a fixed number of…
We propose new algebraic methods for extracting cylinders and cones from minimal point sets, including oriented points. More precisely, we are interested in computing efficiently cylinders through a set of three points, one of them being…
We consider the problem Scattered Cycles which, given a graph $G$ and two positive integers $r$ and $\ell$, asks whether $G$ contains a collection of $r$ cycles that are pairwise at distance at least $\ell$. This problem generalizes the…
