An algebraic interpretation of the bivariate Krawtchouk polynomials is provided in the framework of the 3-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator model. These polynomials in two discrete variables are shown to arise as matrix elements of…

We introduce and investigate binary $(k,k)$-designs -- combinatorial structures which are related to binary orthogonal arrays. We derive general linear programming bound and propose as a consequence a universal bound on the minimum possible…

It is known that a Delsarte $t$-design in a $Q$-polynomial association scheme has degree at least $\left \lceil{\frac{t}{2}}\right \rceil $. Following Ionin and Shrikhande who studied combinatorial $(2s-1)$-designs (i.e., Delsarte designs…

We develop a marking system for an analog of Hasse diagrams of intervals $[u,v]$ with $u\leq v$ in a Hermitian symmetric pair $W/W_J$, and use this to create a closed form algorithm for computing relative R-polynomials. The uniform nature…

Hyperbolic spaces have been quite popular in the recent past for representing hierarchically organized data. Further, several classification algorithms for data in these spaces have been proposed in the literature. These algorithms mainly…

This paper proposes hybrid high-order eigensolvers for the computation of guaranteed lower eigenvalue bounds. These bounds display higher order convergence rates and are accessible to adaptive mesh-refining algorithms. The involved…

Krawtchouk polynomials appear in a variety of contexts, most notably as orthogonal polynomials and in coding theory via the Krawtchouk transform. We present an operator calculus formulation of the Krawtchouk transform that is suitable for…

Hardy spaces in the complex plane and in higher dimensions have natural finite-dimensional subspaces formed by polynomials or by linear maps. We use the restriction of Hardy norms to such subspaces to describe the set of possible…

The enumeration of points on (or off) the union of some linear or affine subspaces over a finite field is dealt with in combinatorics via the characteristic polynomial and in algebraic geometry via the zeta function. We discuss the basic…

Higher-dimensional orthogonal packing problems have a wide range of practical applications, including packing, cutting, and scheduling. Previous efforts for exact algorithms have been unable to avoid structural problems that appear for…

We study covering problems in Hamming and Grassmann spaces through a unified coding-theoretic and information-theoretic framework. Viewing covering as a form of quantization in general metric spaces, we introduce the notion of the average…

In this paper we consider self-dual NRT-codes, that is, self-dual codes in the metric space endowed with the Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (NRT-metric). We use polynomial invariant theory to describe the shape enumerator of a binary…

A combinatorial theory for type $R_I$ orthogonal polynomials is given. The ingredients include weighted generalized Motzkin paths, moments, continued fractions, determinants, and histories. Several explicit examples in the Askey scheme are…

A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…

We continue the work of Eriksen, Freij, and Wastlund [3], who study derangements that descend in blocks of prescribed lengths. We generalize their work to derangements that ascend in some blocks and descend in others. In particular, we…

In [Y.~K.~Hu, K.~A.~Kopotun, X.~M.~Yu, Constr. Approx. 2000], the authors have obtained a characterization of best $n$-term piecewise polynomial approximation spaces as real interpolation spaces between $L^p$ and some spaces of bounded…

We use the density function of a harmonic space to obtain estimates for the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator; when these estimates are sharp, then the harmonic space is a symmetric Osserman space.

Given a combinatorial triangulation of an $n$-gon, we study (a) the space of all possible drawings in the plane such the edges are straight line segments and the boundary has a fixed shape, and (b) the algebraic variety of possibilities for…

We derive bounds on the size of an independent set based on eigenvalues. This generalizes a result due to Delsarte and Hoffman. We use this to obtain new bounds on the independence number of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs. We investigate…

We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…
