A construction is described for combining affine designs with complete sets of mutually orthogonal frequency squares to produce other complete sets. Key words: Matrices, orthogona...
We constructively prove that the partially ordered set of finite permutations ordered by deletion of entries contains an infinite antichain. In other words, there exists an infini...
In this paper, explicit formulae for the expectation and the variance of descent functions on random standard Young tableaux are presented. Using these, it is shown that the norma...
This note extends a recent result of Kannan, Tetali and Vempala to completely solve, via a simple proof, the problem of random generation of a labeled tournament with a given scor...
We consider the problem of determining when two delta-matroids on the same ground-set have a common base. Our approach is to adapt the theory of matchings in 2-polymatroids develo...
