Heffter arrays are combinatorial structures used to construct orthogonal cyclic cycle decompositions and biembeddings of complete graphs onto surfaces. A Heffter array $H(m,n;h,k)$ is an $m \times n$ partially filled array with distinct…
This paper investigates the impossibility of certain $({n^2+n+k}_{n+1})$ configurations. Firstly, for $k=2$, the result of \cite{gropp1992non} that $\frac{n^2+n}{2}$ is even and $n+1$ is a perfect square or $\frac{n^2+n}{2}$ is odd and…
We prove monotonicity of a parabolic frequency on manifolds. This is a parabolic analog of Almgren's frequency function. Remarkably we get monotonicity on all manifolds and no curvature assumption is needed. When the manifold is Euclidean…
A spectral Favard theorem for bounded banded lower Hessenberg matrices that admit a positive bidiagonal factorization is found. The large knowledge on the spectral and factorization properties of oscillatory matrices leads to this spectral…
A \emph{magic square} is an $n \times n$ array of distinct positive integers whose sum along any row, column, or main diagonal is the same number. We compute the number of such squares for $n=4$, as a function of either the magic sum or an…
Two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with an elliptic equilibrium at the origin are characterised by the frequencies of the linearisation. Considering the frequencies as parameters, the system undergoes a bifurcation when the…
We construct, for every even dimensional sphere $S^n$, $n >1$, and every odd integer $k$, a homogeneous polynomial map $f: S^{n}\to S^{n}$ of Brouwer degree $k$ and algebraic degree $2|k|-1$.
The principle of orthogonal time-frequency-space (OTFS) signaling is firstly analyzed, followed by explaining that OTFS embeds another signaling scheme referred to as orthogonal short-time Fourier (OSTF). Then, the relationship among OTFS,…
A permutation $\sigma$ describing the relative orders of the first $n$ iterates of a point $x$ under a self-map $f$ of the interval $I=[0,1]$ is called an \emph{order pattern}. For fixed $f$ and $n$, measuring the points $x\in I$ (according…
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…
A formal n-square is the set of positions in an square matrix of size n. A shuffle of a formal n-square consists of independent rotations of each row and of each column. A key result turns out to be valid at least for n <= 34 and n = 37:…
Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic question of when two such functions are affine equivalent. The…
We consider a slow-fast Hamiltonian system with one fast angular variable (a fast phase) whose frequency vanishes on some surface in the space of slow variables (a resonant surface). Systems of such form appear in the study of dynamics of…
A fullerene graph $F$ is a planar cubic graph with exactly 12 pentagonal faces and other hexagonal faces. A set $\mathcal{H}$ of disjoint hexagons of $F$ is called a resonant pattern (or sextet pattern) if $F$ has a perfect matching $M$…
It was shown by LeCompte, Martin, and Oweans in 2010 that the existence of mutually unbiased Hadamard matrices and the identity matrix, which coincide with mutually unbiased bases, is equivalent to that of a $Q$-polynomial association…
On the space of rhythms of arbitrary length with a fixed number of onsets, a self map $F$ is constructed. It is shown that for any rhythm $\mathbf{r}$ of the space there exists a nonnegative integer $k$ such that $F^k(\mathbf{r})$ falls…
We consider continuous-time quantum walks on distance-regular graphs of small diameter. Using results about the existence of complex Hadamard matrices in association schemes, we determine which of these graphs have quantum walks that admit…
A tight Heffter array H(m,n) is an m x n matrix with nonzero entries from Z_{2mn+1} such that i) the sum of the elements in each row and each column is 0, and ii) no element from {x,-x\ appears twice. We prove that H(m,n) exist if and only…
A mapping of $k$-bit strings into $n$-bit strings is called an $(\alpha,\beta)$-map if $k$-bit strings which are more than $\alpha k$ apart are mapped to $n$-bit strings that are more than $\beta n$ apart. This is a relaxation of the…
We are concerned with an harmonic analysis in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\br^n$. The unifying question is the presence of families of orthogonal (complex) exponentials $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i…
