Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of $K$-linear transformations $A:V \to V$ and $A^*:V \to V$ that satisfies the following conditions: (i) each of $A,A^*$ is…

The notion of factorized $A_2$-Leonard pair is introduced. It is defined as a rank 2 Leonard pair, with actions in certain bases corresponding to the root system of the Weyl group $A_2$, and with some additional properties. The functions…

This paper introduces a natural extension of the pair-comparison-with-ties model of Davidson (1970, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc.), to allow for ties when more than two items are compared. Properties of the new model are discussed. It is found…

Let $\K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $\K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations $A:V \to V$ and $A^*:V \to V$ that satisfy the following conditions: (i) each of $A,A^*$ is…

We extend the notion of link colorings with values in an Alexander quandle to link colorings with values in a module $M$ over the Laurent polynomial ring $\Lambda_{\mu}=\mathbb{Z}[t_1^{\pm1},\dots,t_{\mu}^{\pm1}]$. If $D$ is a diagram of a…

This paper studies equable parallelograms whose vertices lie on the integer lattice. Using Rosenberger's Theorem on generalised Markov equations, we show that the g.c.d. of the side lengths of such parallelograms can only be 3, 4 or 5, and…

A normally regular digraph with parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ is a directed graph on $v$ vertices whose adjacency matrix $A$ satisfies the equation $AA^t=k I+\lambda (A+A^t)+\mu(J-I-A-A^t)$. This means that every vertex has out-degree $k$,…

Consider the sequence $\mathcal{V}(2,n)$ constructed in a greedy fashion by setting $a_1 = 2$, $a_2 = n$ and defining $a_{m+1}$ as the smallest integer larger than $a_m$ that can be written as the sum of two (not necessarily distinct)…

Let $d$ denote a nonnegative integer and let $\mathbb{F}$ denote a field. Let $V$ denote a $d+1$ dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}$. Given an ordering $\{\theta_i\}_{i=0}^d$ of the eigenvalues of a multiplicity-free linear map $A: V…

We study a Lax pair in a $2$-parameter Lie algebra in various representations. The overlap coefficients of the eigenfunctions of $L$ and the standard basis are given in terms of orthogonal polynomials and orthogonal functions. Moreover,…

Given an arbitrary (commutative) field K, let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K) consisting of matrices of rank lesser than or equal to some r<n. A theorem of Atkinson and Lloyd states that, if dim V>nr-r+1 and #K>r, then either all the…

Given an algebraic differential equation of order greater than one, it is shown that if there is any nontrivial algebraic relation amongst any number of distinct nonalgebraic solutions, along with their derivatives, then there is already…

A cohomology theory for "odd polygon" relations -- algebraic imitations of Pachner moves in dimensions 3, 5, ... -- is constructed. Manifold invariants based on polygon relations and nontrivial polygon cocycles are proposed. Example…

Let $v(k, \lambda)$ be the maximum number of vertices of a connected $k$-regular graph with second largest eigenvalue at most $\lambda$. The Alon-Boppana Theorem implies that $v(k, \lambda)$ is finite when $k > \frac{\lambda^2 + 4}{4}$. In…

Let L be a linear difference operator with polynomial coefficients. We consider singularities of L that correspond to roots of the trailing (resp. leading) coefficient of L. We prove that one can effectively construct a left multiple with…

In this paper, we consider coloring of graphs under the assumption that some vertices are already colored. Let $G$ be an $r$-colorable graph and let $P\subset V(G)$. Albertson [J.\ Combin.\ Theory Ser. B \textbf{73} (1998), 189--194] has…

New examples of Cameron-Liebler line classes in $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$ are given with parameter $\frac{1}{2}(q^2 -1)$. These examples have been constructed for many odd values of $q$ using a computer search, by forming a union of line orbits…

We introduce near triple arrays as binary row-column designs with at most two consecutive values for the replication numbers of symbols, for the intersection sizes of pairs of rows, pairs of columns and pairs of a row and a column. Near…

There are several notions of duality between lines and points. In this note, it is shown that all these can be studied in a unified way. Most interesting properties are independent of specific choices. It is also shown that either dual…

An $(a,b)$-difference necklace of length $n$ is a circular arrangement of the integers $0, 1, 2, \ldots , n-1$ such that any two neighbours have absolute difference $a$ or $b$. We prove that, subject to certain conditions on $a$ and $b$,…
