The geometry of secants in embedded polar spaces
Consider a polar space S weakly embedded in a projective space P. A secant of S is the intersection of the point set of S with a line of P spanned by two non-collinear points of S...

The exceptional hyperplanes of DH(5, 4)
In [2], we showed the existence of five isomorphism classes of hyperplanes in each dual polar space of type DH(5, q2). We also proved there that every hyperplane of DH(5, q2) bel...

Quickly deciding minor-closed parameters in general graphs
We construct algorithms for deciding essentially any minor-closed parameter, with explicit time bounds. This result strengthens previous results by Robertson and Seymour [1,2], Fr...

Proof of the oval conjecture for planar partition functions
We prove that the translation plane and the shift plane defined by a planar partition function form an oval pair of projective planes in the sense that the planes share a line pe...

Representations of directed strongly regular graphs
We develop a theory of representations in Rm for directed strongly regular graphs, which gives a new proof of a nonexistence condition of Jørgensen [8]. We also describe some new...

Chords of longest circuits in locally planar graphs
It was conjectured by Thomassen ([B. Alspach, C. Godsil, Cycle in graphs, Ann. Discrete Math. 27 (1985)], p. 466) that every longest circuit of a 3-connected graph must have a cho...

Binary codes from rectangular lattice graphs and permutation decoding
We examine the binary codes obtained from the row span over the field F2 of an adjacency matrix of the rectangular lattice graphs L2(m, n) for 3 ≤ m < n and show that permut...

Permutation statistics on involutions
We consider in this work the enumeration of involutions by descent sets, and based on that, by descent numbers. Formulas of the number of involutions with a prescribed descent set...

Complexity of cutting words on regular tilings
: We show that the complexity of a cutting word u in a regular tiling by a polyomino Q is equal to Pn(u) = (p+q−1)n+1 for all n ≥ 0, where Pn(u) counts the number of distinct f...
