A matrix is said to be {\it cyclic} if its characteristic polynomial is equal to its minimal polynomial. Cyclic matrices play an important role in some algorithms for matrix group computation, such as the Cyclic Meataxe developed by P. M.…

Search patterns of randomly oriented steps of different lengths have been observed on all scales of the biological world, ranging from the microscopic to the ecological, including in protein motors, bacteria, T-cells, honeybees, marine…

We consider the algorithmic problem of generating each subset of $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ whose size is in some interval $[k,l]$, $0\leq k\leq l\leq n$, exactly once (cyclically) by repeatedly adding or removing a single element, or by…

We study the rank weight hierarchy, thus in particular the rank metric, of cyclic codes over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^m}$, $q$ a prime power, $m \geq 2$. We establish the rank weight hierarchy for $[n,n-1]$ cyclic codes and…

Error-correcting codes have an important role in data storage and transmission and in cryptography, particularly in the post-quantum era. Hermitian matrices over finite fields and equipped with the rank metric have the potential to offer…

In 1967, Edmonds introduced the problem of computing the rank over the rational function field of an $n\times n$ matrix $T$ with integral homogeneous linear polynomials. In this paper, we consider the non-commutative version of Edmonds'…

Dirac's theorem (1952) is a classical result of graph theory, stating that an $n$-vertex graph ($n \geq 3$) is Hamiltonian if every vertex has degree at least $n/2$. Both the value $n/2$ and the requirement for every vertex to have high…

A (q,k,t)-design matrix is an m x n matrix whose pattern of zeros/non-zeros satisfies the following design-like condition: each row has at most q non-zeros, each column has at least k non-zeros and the supports of every two columns…

The Hamiltonian cycle (HC) problem in graph theory is a well-known NP-complete problem. We present an approach in terms of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) defined on the lattice with the graph as its dual. When the coupling…

Counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles that are contained in a geometric graph is {\bf \#P}-complete even if the graph is known to be planar \cite{lot:refer}. A relaxation for problems in plane geometric graphs is to allow the geometric…

In this paper, we study the existence of perfect matchings and Hamiltonian cycles in the preferential attachment model. In this model, vertices are added to the graph one by one, and each time a new vertex is created it establishes a…

We prove for all $k\geq 4$ and $1\leq\ell<k/2$ the sharp minimum $(k-2)$-degree bound for a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal H$ on $n$ vertices to contain a Hamiltonian $\ell$-cycle if $k-\ell$ divides $n$ and $n$ is sufficiently large.…

We study the $\ell_0$-Low Rank Approximation Problem, where the goal is, given an $m \times n$ matrix $A$, to output a rank-$k$ matrix $A'$ for which $\|A'-A\|_0$ is minimized. Here, for a matrix $B$, $\|B\|_0$ denotes the number of its…

We show that the basis graph of an even delta-matroid is Hamiltonian if it has more than two vertices. More strongly, we prove that for two distinct edges $e$ and $f$ sharing a common end, it has a Hamiltonian cycle using $e$ and avoiding…

In this paper, we consider an extension of cycle-complete graph Ramsey numbers to Berge cycles in hypergraphs: for $k \geq 2$, a {\em non-trivial Berge $k$-cycle} is a family of sets $e_1,e_2,\dots,e_k$ such that $e_1 \cap e_2, e_2 \cap…

Let $\epsilon>0$. We consider the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian graph with $(1+\epsilon)n$ edges in the following controlled random graph process. Starting with the empty graph on $[n]$, at each round a set of $K=K(n)$ edges is…

Let $k \ge 2$ and let $\bf G = \{G_1, \ldots, G_{m}\}$ be a collection of graphs on a common vertex set of cardinality $n$. We show that if each graph in $\bf G$ has minimum degree at least $(1-\frac{1}{2k} + o(1))n$, then for every…

The well-known middle levels problem is to find a Hammiltonian cycle in the graph induced from the binary Hamming graph $\cH_2(2k+1)$ by the words of weight $k$ or $k+1$. In this paper we define the $q$-analog of the middle levels problem.…

The Hamiltonian cycle polynomial can be evaluated to count the number of Hamiltonian cycles in a graph. It can also be viewed as a list of all spanning cycles of length $n$. We adopt the latter perspective and present a pair of original…

The tensor product of one code endowed with the Hamming metric and one endowed with the rank metric is analyzed. This gives a code which naturally inherits the sum-rank metric. Specializing to the product of a cyclic code and a skew-cyclic…
