Barely set-valued tableaux are a variant of Young tableaux in which one box contains two numbers as its entry. It has recently been discovered that there are product formulas enumerating certain classes of barely set-valued tableaux. We…
We prove new formulas for $p_d(n)$, the number of $d$-ary partitions of $n$, and, also, for its polynomial part. Given a partition $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_{\ell})$, its associated $j$-th symmetric elementary partition,…
A partial Latin square of order $n$ can be represented by a $3$-dimensional chess-board of size $n\times n\times n$ with at most $n^2$ non-attacking rooks. Based on this representation, we apply a uniform method to prove the M. Hall's,…
We characterise those classes of permutations having the property that for every tableau shape either every permutation of that shape or no permutation of that shape belongs to the class. The characterisation is in terms of the dominance…
We study random packings of $2\times2$ squares with centers on the square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$, in which the probability of a packing is proportional to $\lambda$ to the number of squares. We prove that for large $\lambda$, typical…
We say that a diagonal in an array is {\em $\lambda$-balanced} if each entry occurs $\lambda$ times. Let $L$ be a frequency square of type $F(n;\lambda^m)$; that is, an $n\times n$ array in which each entry from $\{1,2,\dots ,m\}$ occurs…
We set out a general methodology for producing tableau systems for propositional logics via a tableau metatheory that provides general and formal notions for different tableau systems that vary by semantics or formulae. Moreover, by dint of…
The number of Young Tableaux whose shape is a k by n rectangle is famously (nk)! 0! ... (k-1)!/((n+k-1)!(n+k-2)!... n!) implying that for each specific k, that sequence satisfies a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients of…
Let G be any additive abelian group with cyclic torsion subgroup, and let A, B and C be finite subsets of G with cardinality n>0. We show that there is a numbering {a_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of A, a numbering {b_i}_{i=1}^n of the…
A latin hypercuboid of order $N$ is an $N\times...\times N\times k$ array filled with symbols from the set $\{0,...,N-1\} $ in such a way that every symbol occurs at most once in every line. If $k=N$, such an array is a latin hypercube. We…
A quantum Latin square is an $n \times n$ array of unit vectors where each row and column forms an orthonormal basis of a fixed complex vector space. We introduce the notion of $(G,G')$-invariant quantum Latin squares for finite groups $G$…
It is known that no-boundary Cellular Automata (CA) defined by bipermutive local rules give rise to Latin squares. In this paper, we study under which conditions the Latin square generated by a bipermutive CA is self-orthogonal, i.e.…
A classical question in combinatorics is the following:\ given a partial Latin square $P$, when can we complete $P$ to a Latin square $L$? In this paper, we investigate the class of \textbf{$\epsilon$-dense partial Latin squares}:\ partial…
Rectangular designs are classified as regular, Latin regular, semiregular, Latin semiregular and singular designs. Some series of selfdual as well as alpharesolvable designs are obtained using matrix approaches which belong to the above…
Mutually orthogonal frequency squares (MOFS) of type $F(m\lambda;\lambda)$ generalize the structure of mutually orthogonal Latin squares: rather than each of $m$ symbols appearing exactly once in each row and in each column of each square,…
In 2008, Cavenagh and Dr\'{a}pal, et al, described a method of constructing Latin trades using groups. The Latin trades that arise from this construction are entry-transitive (that is, there always exists an autoparatopism of the Latin…
Uniform random generation of Latin squares is a classical problem. In this paper we prove that both Latin squares and Sudoku designs are maximum cliques of properly defined graphs. We have developed a simple algorithm for uniform random…
Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s and S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy conjectured that every $n\times n$ Latin square has a `cycle-free' partial transversal of size $n-2$. We confirm this conjecture in a strong sense for almost all Latin squares, by showing that as $n…
In this note we show that for each Latin square $L$ of order $n\geq 2$, there exists a Latin square $L'\neq L$ of order $n$ such that $L$ and $L'$ differ in at most $8\sqrt{n}$ cells. Equivalently, each Latin square of order $n$ contains a…
A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…
