We investigate a geometric generalization of trifference, a concept introduced by Elias in 1988 in the study of zero-error channel capacity. In the discrete setting, a code C \subseteq {0,1,2}^n is trifferent if for any three distinct…

We explore how the asymptotic structure of a random permutation of $[n]$ with $m$ inversions evolves, as $m$ increases, establishing thresholds for the appearance and disappearance of any classical, consecutive or vincular pattern. The…

A code $C \subseteq \{0, 1, 2\}^n$ of length $n$ is called trifferent if for any three distinct elements of $C$ there exists a coordinate in which they all differ. By $T(n)$ we denote the maximum cardinality of trifferent codes with length.…

A code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \{0, 1, 2\}^n$ is said to be trifferent with length $n$ when for any three distinct elements of $\mathcal{C}$ there exists a coordinate in which they all differ. Defining $\mathcal{T}(n)$ as the maximum…

A subset $\mathcal{C}\subseteq\{0,1,2\}^n$ is said to be a $\textit{trifferent}$ code (of block length $n$) if for every three distinct codewords $x,y, z \in \mathcal{C}$, there is a coordinate $i\in \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ where they all differ,…

In this paper, explicit error bounds are derived in the approximation of rank $k$ projections of certain $n$-dimensional random vectors by standard $k$-dimensional Gaussian random vectors. The bounds are given in terms of $k$, $n$, and a…

In this paper, we proposed an interesting problem that might be classified into enumerative combinatorics. Featuring a distinctive two-fold dependence upon the sequences' terms, our problem can be really difficult, which calls for novel…

We discuss the problem to count, or, more modestly, to estimate the number f(m,n) of unimodular triangulations of the planar grid of size $m\times n$. Among other tools, we employ recursions that allow one to compute the (huge) number of…

The method of separation of variables is significant, it has been applied to physics, engineering , chemistry and other fields. It allows to reduce the diffculity of problems by separating the variables from partial differential equation…

Let $P(n,M)$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from the family of all labeled planar graphs with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges. In the paper we study the component structure of $P(n,M)$. Combining counting arguments with analytic…

Meanders form a set of combinatorial problems concerned with the enumeration of self-avoiding loops crossing a line through a given number of points, $n$. Meanders are considered distinct up to any smooth deformation leaving the line fixed.…

In this article, we obtain a super-exponential rate of convergence in total variation between the traces of the first $m$ powers of an $n\times n$ random unitary matrices and a $2m$-dimensional Gaussian random variable. This generalizes…

We study a random bisection problem where an initial interval of length x is cut into two random fragments at the first stage, then each of these two fragments is cut further, etc. We compute the probability P_n(x) that at the n-th stage,…

This paper discusses Tverberg-type theorems with coordinate constraints (i.e., versions of these theorems where all points lie within a subset $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and the intersection of convex hulls is required to have a non-empty…

We show that for $m$ points and $n$ lines in the real plane, the number of distinct distances between the points and the lines is $\Omega(m^{1/5}n^{3/5})$, as long as $m^{1/2}\le n\le m^2$. We also prove that for any $m$ points in the…

We estimate the number of incidences in a configuration of $m$ lines and $n$ points in dimension 3. The main term is $mn^{1/3}$ if we work over the real or complex numbers but $mn^{2/5}$ over finite fields. Both of these are optimal, aside…

Let F be a field. We investigate the greatest possible dimension t_n(F) for a vector space of n-by-n matrices with entries in F and in which every element is triangularizable over the ground field F. It is obvious that t_n(F) is greater…

We obtain new lower and upper bounds for the maximum multiplicity of some weighted and, respectively, non-weighted common geometric graphs drawn on n points in the plane in general position (with no three points collinear): perfect…

The classical no-three-in-line problem is to find the maximum number of points that can be placed in the $n \times n$ grid so that no three points lie on a line. Given a set $S$ of points in an Euclidean plane, the General Position Subset…

It is known that the variety of pairs of n x n commuting upper triangular matrices isn't a complete intersection for infinitely many values of n; we show that there exists m such that this happens if and only if n > m. We also show that m <…
