An error model with asymmetric single magnitude four error is considered. This paper is about constructions of codes correcting single error over $\mathbb{Z}_{2^{a}3^{b}r}$. Firstly, we reduce the construction of a maximal size…

We prove new upper bounds on the size of families of vectors in $\Z_m^n$ with restricted modular inner products, when $m$ is a large integer. More formally, if $\vec{u}_1,\ldots,\vec{u}_t \in \Z_m^n$ and $\vec{v}_1,\ldots,\vec{v}_t \in…

We prove that $\det A\leq 6^\frac{n}{6}$ whenever $A\in\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ contains at most $2n$ ones. We also prove an upper bound on the determinant of matrices with the $k$-consecutive ones property, a generalisation of the consecutive…

We give a new asymptotic upper bound on the size of a code in the Grassmannian space. The bound is better than the upper bounds known previously in the entire range of distances except very large values.

The intersection problem for additive (extended and non-extended) perfect codes, i.e. which are the possibilities for the number of codewords in the intersection of two additive codes C1 and C2 of the same length, is investigated. Lower and…

Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…

In this article, constant dimension subspace codes whose codewords have subspace distance in a prescribed set of integers, are considered. The easiest example of such an object is a {\it junta}; i.e. a subspace code in which all codewords…

We consider systems of "pinned balls," i.e., balls that have fixed positions and pseudo-velocities. Pseudo-velocities change according to the same rules as those for velocities of totally elastic collisions between moving balls. The times…

Suppose that each proper subset of a set $S$ of points in a vector space is contained in the union of planes of specified dimensions, but $S$ itself is not contained in any such union. How large can $|S|$ be? We prove a general upper bound…

Let $r(k)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a $k$-uniform intersecting family with covering number $k$. Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz proved that $ \lfloor k! (e-1) \rfloor \leq r(k) \leq k^k.$ Frankl, Ota, and Tokushige improved the lower…

A family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is called 3-wise intersecting if any three members in the family have non-empty intersection. We determine the maximum size of such families exactly or asymptotically. One of our results…

The Johnson-type upper bound on the maximum size of a code of length $n$, distance $d=2w-1$ and constant composition ${\overline{w}}$ is $\lfloor\dfrac{n}{w_1}\rfloor$, where $w$ is the total weight and $w_1$ is the largest component of…

We show that intersection graphs of compact convex sets in R^n of bounded aspect ratio have asymptotic dimension at most 2n+1. More generally, we show this is the case for intersection graphs of systems of subsets of any metric space of…

We study the maximum size of a set system on $n$ elements whose trace on any $b$ elements has size at most $k$. We show that if for some $b \ge i \ge 0$ the shatter function $f_R$ of a set system $([n],R)$ satisfies $f_R(b) < 2^i(b-i+1)$…

In this paper we prove lower bounds for sizes of refutations of unsatisfiable vector Subset Sum instances $\overrightarrow{a}_1 x_1 + \dots + \overrightarrow{a}_n x_n = \overrightarrow{b}$ in the proof system Res(lin$_{\mathbb{F}_q}$) where…

An n-town, for a natural number n, is a group of n buildings, each occupying a distinct position on a 2-dimensional integer grid. If we measure the distance between two buildings along the axis-parallel street grid, then an n-town has…

For $q,n,d \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum size of a code $C \subseteq [q]^n$ with minimum distance at least $d$. We give a divisibility argument resulting in the new upper bounds $A_5(8,6) \leq 65$, $A_4(11,8)\leq 60$ and…

Let $\mbox{$\cal F$}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ be a fixed family of subsets. Let $D(\mbox{$\cal F$})$ stand for the following set of Hamming distances: $$ D(\mbox{$\cal F$}):=\{d_H(F,G):~ F, G\in \mbox{$\cal F$},\ F\neq G\}. $$ $\mbox{$\cal F$}$ is…

A 3-simplex is a collection of four sets A_1,...,A_4 with empty intersection such that any three of them have nonempty intersection. We show that the maximum size of a set system on n elements without a 3-simplex is $2^{n-1} +…

In a recent paper (2024) M. Buratti and M.E:Muzychuck have established some lower bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic Steiner Triple Systems of order $v\equiv 1$ (mod $6$). We complete their result to the case $v\equiv 3$ (mod…
