We study signed differential posets, a signed version of differential posets. These posets satisfy enumerative identities which are signed analogues of those satisfied by differential posets. Our main motivations are the sign-imbalance…

We introduce the notion of difference equation defined on a structured set. The symmetry group of the structure determines the set of difference operators. All main notions in the theory of difference equations are introduced as invariants…

A "signed graph" is a graph $\Gamma$ where the edges are assigned sign labels, either "$+$" or "$-$". The sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. Let $\mathrm{SpecC}(\Gamma)$ denote the list of lengths of cycles in…

All possible products of all elements of an odd order finite group are considered. A set of all such products is called as a K-set. A hypothesis of K-set coincidence of any group of an odd order with its commutant is proposed and the…

A signed graph is a graph in which each edge has a positive or negative sign. In this article, first we characterize the distance compatibility in the case of a connected signed graph and discussed the distance compatibility criterion for…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are labeled either as positive or negative. The concept of vector valued switching and balancing dimension of signed graphs were introduced by S. Hameed et al. In this paper, we deal with the balancing…

In this article, we study flag-transitive automorphism groups of non-trivial symmetric $(v, k, \lambda)$ designs, where $\lambda$ divides $k$ and $k\geq \lambda^2$. We show that such an automorphism group is either point-primitive of affine…

In this paper we consider cryptographic applications of the arithmetic on the hyperoctahedral group. On an appropriate subgroup of the latter, we particularly propose to construct public key cryptosystems based on the discrete logarithm.…

We study the differential symmetric signature, an invariant of rings of finite type over a field, introduced in a previous work by the authors in an attempt to find a characteristic-free analogue of the F-signature. We compute the…

A signed graph $G$ is a graph where each edge is assigned a + (positive edge) or a - (negative edge). The signed degree of a vertex $v$ in a signed graph, denoted by $sdeg(v)$, is the number of positive edges incident to $v$ subtracted by…

A signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is a graph positive and negative ($\Sigma $ denotes the set of negative edges). To re-sign a vertex $v$ of a signed graph $ (G, \Sigma)$ is to switch the signs of the edges incident to $v$. If one can obtain $…

This paper presents a new mathematical signal transform that is especially suitable for decoding information related to non-rigid signal displacements. We provide a measure theoretic framework to extend the existing Cumulative Distribution…

Separable elements in Weyl groups are generalizations of the well-known class of separable permutations in symmetric groups. Gaetz and Gao showed that for any pair $(X,Y)$ of subsets of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, the…

Given an integer $k\ge3$ and a group $G$ of odd order, if there exists a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design and if $v$ is sufficiently large, then there is such a design whose automorphism group has a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A weaker result is proved…

We study homomorphism problems of signed graphs from a computational point of view. A signed graph $(G,\Sigma)$ is a graph $G$ where each edge is given a sign, positive or negative; $\Sigma\subseteq E(G)$ denotes the set of negative edges.…

Assume $G$ is a graph. We view $G$ as a symmetric digraph, in which each edge $uv$ of $G$ is replaced by a pair of opposite arcs $e=(u,v)$ and $e^{-1}=(v,u)$. Assume $S$ is an inverse closed subset of permutations of positive integers. We…

There is a one-to-one correspondence between the point set of a group divisible design (GDD) with $v_1$ groups of $v_2$ points and the edge set of a complete bipartite graph $K_{v_1,v_2}$. A block of GDD corresponds to a subgraph of…
