We introduce a remarkable new family of norms on the space of $n \times n$ complex matrices. These norms arise from the combinatorial properties of symmetric functions, and their construction and validation involve probability theory,…

This thesis deals with the enumerative study of combinatorial maps, and its application to the enumeration of other combinatorial objects. Combinatorial maps, or simply maps, form a rich combinatorial model. They have an intuitive and…

Girth-regular graphs with equal girth, regular degree and chromatic index are studied for the determination of 1-factorizations with each 1-factor intersecting every girth cycle. Applications to hamiltonian decomposability and to…

To approximate a simple root of an equation we construct families of iterative maps of higher order of convergence. These maps are based on model functions which can be written as an inner product. The main family of maps discussed is…

Matrix models and their connections to String Theory and noncommutative geometry are discussed. Various types of matrix models are reviewed. Most of interest are IKKT and BFSS models. They are introduced as 0+0 and 1+0 dimensional reduction…

Factorization models express a statistical object of interest in terms of a collection of simpler objects. For example, a matrix or tensor can be expressed as a sum of rank-one components. However, in practice, it can be challenging to…

In this paper, we formally introduce the concept of a row-sum matrix over an arbitrary group $G$. When $G$ is cyclic, these types of matrices have been widely used to build uniform 2-factorizations of small Cayley graphs (or, Cayley…

Boolean matrix factorization is a natural and a popular technique for summarizing binary matrices. In this paper, we study a problem of Boolean matrix factorization where we additionally require that the factor matrices have consecutive…

We consider an algebra of even-order square tensors and introduce a stretching map which allows us to represent tensors as matrices. The stretching map could be understood as a generalized matricization. It conserves algebraic properties of…

Let $N_n(F)$ denote the ring of strictly upper triangular matrices with entries in a field $F$ of characteristic zero and center $Z(N_n(F))$. We characterize the $2$-power commuting maps over $N_n(F)$, maps satisfying the identity…

It is known that the local Yang--Baxter equation is a generator of potential solutions to Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation. In this paper, we show under which additional conditions the solutions to the local Yang--Baxter equation are…

This brief note concerns the invertibility of certain alternant matrices. In particular those that consisting of polynomials and products of polynomials and logarithms are shown to be invertible under appropriate conditions on the degrees…

We prove a generalization of Orlov's theorem for matrix factorizations with $n$ steps. Let $X$ be a regular scheme, $W\colon X\to \mathbb{A}^1$ a flat morphism and $D:=W^{-1}(0)$ its central fiber. We construct an appropriate triangulated…
