It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…
In this paper, we shed new light on the spectrum of the relation algebra we call $A_{n}$, which is obtained by splitting the non-flexible diversity atom of $6_{7}$ into $n$ symmetric atoms. Precisely, we show that the minimum value in…

An open problem in complexity theory is to find the minimal degree of a polynomial representing the $n$-bit OR function modulo composite $m$. This problem is related to understanding the power of circuits with $\text{MOD}_m$ gates where $m$…
The $\epsilon$-approximate degree of a function $f\colon X \to \{0, 1\}$ is the least degree of a multivariate real polynomial $p$ such that $|p(x)-f(x)| \leq \epsilon$ for all $x \in X$. We determine the $\epsilon$-approximate degree of…
We study symmetric arithmetic circuits and improve on lower bounds given by Dawar and Wilsenach (ArXiv 2020). Their result showed an exponential lower bound of the permanent computed by symmetric circuits. We extend this result to show a…
The threshold degree of a function f:{0,1}^n->{-1,+1} is the least degree of a real polynomial p with f(x)=sgn p(x). We prove that the intersection of two halfspaces on {0,1}^n has threshold degree Omega(n), which matches the trivial upper…
The finite element method is used to approximately solve boundary value problems for differential equations. The method discretises the parameter space and finds an approximate solution by solving a large system of linear equations. Here we…
