This paper reports the results of numerical computations for determining the number of polyominoes of size n (n-ominoes). We verify the existing counts for n <= 50 and newly compute the total number of polyominoes up to n <= 59, extending…

As a generalization of polyominoes we consider edge-to-edge connected nonoverlapping unions of regular $k$-gons. For $n\le 4$ we determine formulas for the number $a_k(n)$ of generalized polyominoes consisting of $n$ regular $k$-gons.…

We introduce the notions of de Bruijn polyominoes and prismatic polyominoes, which generalize the notions of de Bruijn sequences and arrays. Given a small fixed polyomino $p$ and a set of colors $[n]$, a de Bruijn polyomino for $(p,n)$ is a…

We give a new combinatorial proof for the number of convex polyominoes whose minimum enclosing rectangle has given dimensions. We also count the subclass of these polyominoes that contain the lower left corner of the enclosing rectangle…

Polyominoes are a subset of polygons which can be constructed from integer-length squares fused at their edges. A system of polygons P is interlocked if no subset of the polygons in P can be removed arbitrarily far away from the rest. It is…

It is known that the polyomino ideal of a simple polyomino is a prime ideal. A new class of nonsimple polyominoes $\Pc$ for which the polyomino ideal $I_{\Pc}$ is a prime ideal will be presented.

We consider the \emph{smallest superpolyomino problem}: given a set of colored polyominoes, find the smallest polyomino containing each input polyomino as a subshape. This problem is shown to be NP-hard, even when restricted to a set of…

We classify path polyominoes which are level and pseudo-Gorenstein. Moreover, we compute all level and pseudo-Gorenstein simple thin polyominoes with rank less than or equal to 10. We also compute the regularity of the pseudo-Gorenstein…

We determine the groups of minimal order in which all groups of order n can embedded for 1 < n < 16. We further determine the order of a minimal group in which all groups or order n or less can be embedded, also for 1 < n < 16.

We derive formulas for the number of polycubes of size $n$ and perimeter $t$ that are proper in $n-1$ and $n-2$ dimensions. These formulas complement computer based enumerations of perimeter polynomials in percolation problems. We…

We estimate the frequency of polynomial iterations which falls in a given multiplicative subgroup of a finite field of $p$ elements. We also give a lower bound on the size of the subgroup which is multiplicatively generated by the first $N$…

Denote the alternating and symmetric groups of degree $n$ by $A_n$ and $S_n$ respectively. Consider a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$ all of whose nontrivial cycles are of the same length. We find the minimal polynomials of $\sigma$ in the…

A permutomino of size n is a polyomino determined by particular pairs (P1, P2) of permutations of size n, such that P1(i) is different from P2(i), for all i. Here we determine the combinatorial properties and, in particular, the…

This paper addresses the problem of deciding the lower-boundedness of an arbitrary real polynomial p in n variables.

Tile the unit square with $n$ small squares. We determine the minimum of the sum of the side lengths of the $n$ small squares, where the minimum is taken over all tilings of the unit square with $n$ squares.

A closed plane meander of order n is a closed self-avoiding loop intersecting an infinite line 2n times. Meanders are considered distinct up to any smooth deformation leaving the line fixed. We have developed an improved algorithm, based on…

We determine the minimal polynomial of each element of the double cover $G$ of the symmetric or alternating group in every irreducible spin representation of $G$.

We use generating functions over group rings to count polynomials over finite fields with the first few coefficients prescribed and a factorization pattern prescribed. In particular, we obtain different exact formulas for the number of…

We determine the crossing number of polynomial size curve systems on standard surfaces, in terms of the genus, up to high precision.

Let P be an elementary closed semi-algebraic set in R^d, i.e., there exist real polynomials p_1,...,p_s such that P= \{x \in R^d : p_1(x) \ge 0, >..., p_s(x) \ge 0 \}; in this case p_1,...,p_s are said to represent P. Denote by $n$ the…
