Given a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a partition of $V$ is $\Delta$-bounded if the diameter of each cluster is bounded by $\Delta$. A distribution over $\Delta$-bounded partitions is a $\beta$-padded decomposition if every ball of radius…
Let $M$ be a positive integer and $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer $r$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that \[ p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. \]…
Green used an arithmetic analogue of Szemer\'edi's celebrated regularity lemma to prove the following strengthening of Roth's theorem in vector spaces. For every $\alpha>0$, $\beta<\alpha^3$, and prime number $p$, there is a least positive…
Depending on the parity of $n$ and the regularity of a bent function $f$ from $\mathbb F_p^n$ to $\mathbb F_p$, $f$ can be affine on a subspace of dimension at most $n/2$, $(n-1)/2$ or $n/2- 1$. We point out that many $p$-ary bent functions…
Let $\Gamma=(V,E)$ be a finite simple graph. A matching $M \subseteq E$ is positive if there exists a weight function on $V$ such that the matching $M$ is characterized by those edges with positive weights. A positive matching decomposition…
Consider the set of scalars $\alpha$ for which the $\alpha$th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. It is known that this set is of the form $\{0, 1, \dots, n-3\}\cup…
Let $p_{k}(n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in the series expansion of $(q;q)_{\infty}^{k}$. It is known that the partition function $p(n)$, which corresponds to the case when $k=-1$, satisfies congruences such as $p(5n+4)\equiv 0\pmod{5}$.…
Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. DeSalvo and Pak proved that $\frac{p(n-1)}{p(n)}\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)> \frac{p(n)}{p(n+1)}$ for $n\geq 2$, as conjectured by Chen. Moreover, they conjectured that a sharper inequality…
A vector space partition $\mathcal{P}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q^v$ is a set of subspaces such that every $1$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_q^v$ is contained in exactly one element of $\mathcal{P}$. Replacing "every point" by "every…
Given a piecewise smooth submanifold $\Gamma^{n-1} \subset \R^m$ and $p \in \R^m$, we define the {\em vision angle} $\Pi_p(\Gamma)$ to be the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the radial projection of $\Gamma$ to the unit sphere centered at…
For $l,n \in \mathbb{N}$ we define tonal partition algebra $P^l_n$ over $\mathbb{Z}[\delta]$. We construct modules $\{ \Delta_{\underline{\mu}} \}_{\underline{\mu}}$ for $P^l_n$ over $\mathbb{Z}[\delta]$, and hence over any integral domain…
We study the holomorphic functions with Hadamard gaps in $\mathcal{N}_p$-spaces on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n$ when $0<p \le n$ and $p>n$. A corollary on analytic functions with Hadamard gaps on $\mathcal{N}_p$-spaces on the unit disk…
A function $F:\mathbb{F}_{p^n}\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_{p^m},$ is a vectorial $s$-plateaued function if for each component function $F_{b}(\mu)=Tr_n(\alpha F(x)), b\in \mathbb{F}_{p^m}^*$ and $\mu \in \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, the Walsh transform…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a rooted and weighted tree, where the weight of any node is equal to the sum of the weights of its children. The popular Treemap algorithm visualizes such a tree as a hierarchical partition of a square into rectangles,…
A set $S\subseteq V$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V - S$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set $S$ in $G$; we say that such a…
Using the combinatorics of $\alpha$-unimodal sets, we establish two new results in the theory of quasisymmetric functions. First, we obtain the expansion of the fundamental basis into quasisymmetric power sums. Secondly, we prove that…
Partition functions for non-interacting particles are known to be symmetric functions. It is shown that powerful group-theoretical techniques can be used not only to derive these relationships, but also to significantly simplify calculation…
In a recent paper, Bacher and de la Harpe study conjugacy growth series of infinite permutation groups and their relationships with $p(n)$, the partition function, and $p(n)_{\textbf{e}}$, a generalized partition function. They prove…
Let $p$ be a prime number. Motivated by the local lifting problem for $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^n$ with $n>1$, we prove several new results on certain $\mathbb{F}_p$-vector spaces of logarithmic differential forms on the projective line in…
The partitions of the integers can be expressed exactly in an iterative and closed-form expression. This equation is derived from distributing the partitions of a number in a network that locates each partition in a unique and orderly…
