We introduce several new constructions for perfect periodic autocorrelation sequences and arrays over the unit quaternions. This paper uses both mathematical proofs and com- puter experiments to prove the (bounded) array constructions have…
A continuous map from R^m to R^N or from C^m to C^N is called k-regular if the images of any $k$ points are linearly independent. Given integers m and k a problem going back to Chebyshev and Borsuk is to determine the minimal value of N for…
We construct a lot of K3 surface automorphisms of positive entropy having rotation domains of ranks 1 and 2. To carry out this construction, we first lay theoretical foundations concerning equivariant linearization of nonlinear maps under…
We introduce a notion of $k$-convexity and explore polygons in the plane that have this property. Polygons which are \mbox{$k$-convex} can be triangulated with fast yet simple algorithms. However, recognizing them in general is a 3SUM-hard…
A $k$-mismatch square is a string of the form $XY$ where $X$ and $Y$ are two equal-length strings that have at most $k$ mismatches. Kolpakov and Kucherov [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2003] defined two notions of $k$-mismatch repeats, called…
We introduce a permutation analogue of the celebrated Szemeredi Regularity Lemma, and derive a number of consequences. This tool allows us to provide a structural description of permutations which avoid a specified pattern, a result that…
The present paper is devoted to the study of the combinatorics of 216 maximal $C^3$ circular codes --- a particular type of structure arising in the analysis of genomic sequences. Their circularity property is believed to be intimately…
Zigzags in graphs embedded in surfaces are cyclic sequences of edges whose any two consecutive edges are different, have a common vertex and belong to the same face. We investigate zigzags in randomly constructed combinatorial tetrahedral…
This paper presents a derivation of the possible residual symmetries of rational K-matrices which are invertible in the ''classical limit'' (the spectral parameter goes to infinity). This derivation uses only the boundary Yang-Baxter…
Superregular matrices, i.e., matrices where all square submatrices are non-singular, have a wide range of applications in communications. A superregular block matrix is a broader concept where all full block submatrices, with the…
Define $S_n^k(T)$ to be the set of permutations of $\{1,2,...,n\}$ with exactly $k$ fixed points which avoid all patterns in $T \subseteq S_m$. We enumerate $S_n^k(T)$, $T \subseteq S_3$, for all $|T| \geq 2$ and $0 \leq k \leq n$.
In the Knapsack problem, one is given the task of packing a knapsack of a given size with items in order to gain a packing with a high profit value. An important connection to the $(\max,+)$-convolution problem has been established, where…
We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
An $(n,k)$ sequence covering array is a set of permutations of $[n]$ such that each sequence of $k$ distinct elements of $[n]$ is a subsequence of at least one of the permutations. An $(n,k)$ sequence covering array is perfect if there is a…
We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our…
Achieving the goals in the title (and others) relies on a cardinality-wise scanning of the ideals of the poset. Specifically, the relevant numbers attached to the k+1 element ideals are inferred from the corresponding numbers of the…
The Exact Circular Pattern Matching (ECPM) problem consists of reporting every occurrence of a rotation of a pattern $P$ in a text $T$. In many real-world applications, specifically in computational biology, circular rotations are of…
The aim of this paper is to characterize and construct universally optimal designs among the class of circular repeated-measurements designs when the parameters do not permit balance for carry-over effects. It is shown that some circular…
In this paper the notion of a superconformal structure on a supermanifold is introduced in an effort to study the superparticle sigma-model. There are, in particular, two main aspects of the sigma-model which are investigated. The first is…
In this thesis, we consider the problem of characterizing and enumerating sets of polyominoes described in terms of some constraints, defined either by convexity or by pattern containment. We are interested in a well known subclass of…
