Lower Bounds for the Football Pool Problem for 7 and 8 Matches
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...

On the Number of Genus One Labeled Circle Trees
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-...

The Initial Involution Patterns of Permutations
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 ...

Nonexistence of Permutation Binomials of Certain Shapes
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...

Matrix Partitions with Finitely Many Obstructions
Each m by m symmetric matrix M over 0, 1, ∗, defines a partition problem, in which an input graph G is to be partitioned into m parts with adjacencies governed by M, in the sen...

A Two Parameter Chromatic Symmetric Function
We introduce and develop a two-parameter chromatic symmetric function for a simple graph G over the field of rational functions in q and t , Q (q, t). We derive its expansion in ...

Tilings of the sphere with right triangles III: the asymptotically obtuse families
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...
