We refine previous results to provide examples, and in some cases precise classifications, of extremal subsets of {1, ..., n} containing no solutions to a wide class of non-inva...
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...
We present an infinite family of 3-connected non-bipartite graphs with chromatic roots in the interval (1, 2) thus resolving a conjecture of Jackson’s in the negative. In addit...
We define a partial order on colored compositions with many properties analogous to Young’s lattice. We show that saturated chains correspond to colored permutations, and that ...
New cyclic n-digit Gray codes are constructed over {0, 1, . . . , R−1} for all R ≥ 3, n ≥ 2. These codes have the property that the distribution of the digit changes (transi...
