A Grassmannian frame is a collection of unit vectors which are optimally incoherent. To date, the vast majority of explicit Grassmannian frames are equiangular tight frames (ETFs). This paper surveys every known construction of ETFs and…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer, and let $P= (f_1(x), \ldots, f_k(x) )$ be $k$ admissible linear polynomials over the integers, or \textit{the pattern}. We present two algorithms that find all integers $x$ where $\max{ \{f_i(x) \} } \le n$ and…

An analogue of the Euclidean algorithm for square matrices of size 2 with integral non-negative entries and strictly positive determinant $n$ defines a finite set $\mathcal{R}(n)$ of Euclid-reduced matrices corresponding to elements of…

The exponential orthogonal polynomials encode via the theory of hyponormal operators a shade function $g$ supported by a bounded planar shape. We prove under natural regularity assumptions that these complex polynomials satisfy a three term…

We will show that tight frames satisfying the restricted isometry property give rise to nearly tight fusion frames which are nearly orthogonal and hence are nearly equi-isoclinic. We will also show how to replace parts of the RIP frame with…

We give formulas for local densities of diagonal integral ternary quadratic forms at odd primes. Exponential sums and quadratic Gauss sums are used to obtain these formulas. These formulas (along with 2-adic densities and Siegel's mass…

We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

We axiomatize the first-order theories of exponential integer parts of real-closed exponential fields in a language with $2^x$, in a language with a predicate for powers of 2, and in the basic language of ordered rings. In particular, the…

The chord-power integrals $I_k$ are classical integral-geometric functionals of a planar convex body, obtained by integrating powers of the chord length against the kinematic measure on the space of lines meeting the body. We establish a…

We present several congruences modulo a power of prime $p$ concerning sums of the following type $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}{m^k\over k^r}{2k\choose k}^{-1}$ which reveal some interesting connections with the analogous infinite series.

An explicit description of all Walsh polynomials generating tight wavelet frames is given. An algorithm for finding the corresponding wavelet functions is suggested, and a general form for all wavelet frames generated by an appropriate…

We show that an elation generalised quadrangle which has p+1 lines on each point, for some prime p, is classical or arises from a flock of a quadratic cone (i.e., is a flock quadrangle).

In a previous paper, the authors proved that in any system of three linear forms satisfying obvious necessary local conditions, there are at least two forms that infinitely often assume $E_2$-values; i.e., values that are products of…

A finite collection of unit vectors $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is called a spherical two-distance set if there are two numbers $a$ and $b$ such that the inner products of distinct vectors from $S$ are either $a$ or $b$. We prove that if $a\ne…

Let K be a simplicial complex with vertex set V = {v_1,..., v_n}. The complex K is d-representable if there is a collection {C_1,...,C_n} of convex sets in R^d such that a subcollection {C_{i_1},...,C_{i_j}} has a nonempty intersection if…

A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form is said to be $\textit{prime-universal}$ if it represents all primes. Recently, Doyle and Williams in [2] classified all prime-universal diagonal ternary quadratic forms, and all…

Let $P_k$ be the subgroup generated by $k$th powers of primitive elements in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$. We show that $F_2/P_k$ is finite if and only if $k$ is $1$, $2$, or $3$. We also fully characterize $F_2/P_k$ for $k = 2,3,4$.…

In this paper, we show that if $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ is prime, then $4F_p$ admits a representation of the form $u^2-pv^2$ for some integers $u$ and $v$, where $F_n$ is the $n$th Fibonacci number. We prove a similar result when $p\equiv -1\pmod…

In this paper we consider pentadiagonal $(n+1)\times(n+1)$ matrices with two subdiagonals and two superdiagonals at distances $k$ and $2k$ from the main diagonal where $1\le k<2k\le n$. We give an explicit formula for their determinants and…

Motivated by algorithmic problems from combinatorial group theory we study computational properties of integers equipped with binary operations +, -, z = x 2^y, z = x 2^{-y} (the former two are partial) and predicates < and =. Notice that…
