Let k3(n) denote the minimal cardinality of a ternary code of length n and covering radius one. In this paper we show k3(7) ≥ 156 and k3(8) ≥ 402 improving on the best previou...

A genus one labeled circle tree is a tree with its vertices on a circle, such that together they can be embedded in a surface of genus one, but not of genus zero. We define an e-...

For a permutation π = π1π2 · · · πn ∈ Sn and a positive integer i ≤ n, we can view π1π2 · · · πi as an element of Si by order-preserving relabeling. The j-set of ...

Suppose xm + axn is a permutation polynomial over Fp, where p > 5 is prime and m > n > 0 and a ∈ F∗ p. We prove that gcd(m−n, p−1) /∈ {2, 4}. In the special cas...

Sommerville and Davies classified the spherical triangles that can tile the sphere in an edge-to-edge fashion. However, if the edge-to-edge restriction is relaxed, there are othe...
