Abstract Due to their rich algebraic structures and wide applications, circulant matrices have been of interest and continuously studied. In this paper, n×n complex left and right circulant matrices whose first row consists of the coefficients in the expansion of (x + zy)n−1 are focused on, where z is a nonzero complex number and n is a positive integer. In the case where z ∈ {1, −1, i, −i}, explicit formulas for the determinants of such matrices are completely determined. Known results on the determinants of binomial circulant matrices can be viewed as the special case where z = 1. Finally, some remarks and open problems are discussed.

AbstractCirculant matrices over finite fields and over commutative finite chain rings have been of interest due to their nice algebraic structures and wide applications. In many cases, such matrices over rings have a closed connection with diagonal matrices over their extension rings. In this paper, the determinants of diagonal and circulant matrices over commutative finite chain rings R with residue field 𝔽q are studied. The number of n × n diagonal matrices over R of determinant a is determined for all elements a in R and for all positive integers n. Subsequently, the enumeration of nonsingular n × n circulant matrices over R of determinant a is given for all units a in R and all positive integers n such that gcd(n, q) = 1. In some cases, the number of singular n × n circulant matrices over R with a fixed determinant is determined through the link between the rings of circulant matrices and diagonal matrices. As applications, a brief discussion on the determinants of diagonal and circulant matrices over commutative finite principal ideal rings is given. Finally, some open problems and conjectures are posted

Let k be a nonzero complex number. In this paper, we determine the eigenvalues of a k-circulant matrix whose first row is (L1,L2,..., Ln), where Ln is the nth Lucas number, and improve the result which can be obtained from the result of Theorem 7. [28]. The Euclidean norm of such matrix is obtained. Bounds for the spectral norm of a k-circulant matrix whose first row is (L-11, L-12,..., L-1n ) are also investigated. The obtained results are illustrated by examples.

Let k be a nonzero complex number. In this paper we consider k-circulant matrices with arithmetic sequence and investigate the eigenvalues, determinants and Euclidean norms of such matrices. Also, for k = 1, the inverses of such (invertible) matrices are obtained (in a way different from the way presented in [1]), and the Moore-Penrose inverses of such (singular) matrices are derived.

AbstractMinsky and Papert claim that, for any positive integer n, there exist predicates of order 1 whose conjunction and disjunction have order greater than n. Their proof is amended and a stronger result obtained of which their claim is a special case.

Triangular numbers have been of interest and continuously studied due to their beautiful representations, nice properties, and various links with other figurate numbers. For positive integers n and l, the nth l-isosceles triangular number is a generalization of triangular numbers defined to be the arithmetic sum of the formT(n, l) = 1 + (1 + l) + (1 + 2l) + · · · + (1 + (n − 1)l).In this paper, we focus on characterizations and identities for isosceles triangular numbers as well as their links with other figurate numbers. Recursive formulas for constructions of isosceles triangular numbers are given together with necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive integer to be a sum of isosceles triangular  numbers. Various identities for isosceles triangular numbers are established. Results on triangular numbers can be viewed as a special case.

Let $R$, $S$ and $T$ be finite sets with $|R|=r$, $|S|=s$ and $|T|=t$. A code $C\subset R\times S\times T$ with covering radius $1$ and minimum distance $2$ is closely connected to a certain generalized partial Latin rectangle. We present various constructions of such codes and some lower bounds on their minimal cardinality $K(r,s,t;2)$. These bounds turn out to be best possible in many instances. Focussing on the special case $t=s$ we determine $K(r,s,s;2)$ when $r$ divides $s$, when $r=s-1$, when $s$ is large, relative to $r$, when $r$ is large, relative to $s$, as well as $K(3r,2r,2r;2)$. Some open problems are posed. Finally, a table with bounds on $K(r,s,s;2)$ is given.

Reay's relaxed Tverberg conjecture and Conway's thrackle conjecture are open problems about the geometry of pairwise intersections. Reay asked for the minimum number of points in Euclidean $d$-space that guarantees any such point set admits a partition into $r$ parts, any $k$ of whose convex hulls intersect. Here we give new and improved lower bounds for this number, which Reay conjectured to be independent of $k$. We prove a colored version of Reay's conjecture for $k$ sufficiently large, but nevertheless $k$ independent of dimension $d$. Pairwise intersecting convex hulls have severely restricted combinatorics. This is a higher-dimensional analogue of Conway's thrackle conjecture or its linear special case. We thus study convex-geometric and higher-dimensional analogues of the thrackle conjecture alongside Reay's problem and conjecture (and prove in two special cases) that the number of convex sets in the plane is bounded by the total number of vertices they involve whenever there exists a transversal set for their pairwise intersections. We thus isolate a geometric property that leads to bounds as in the thrackle conjecture. We also establish tight bounds for the number of facets of higher-dimensional analogues of linear thrackles and conjecture their continuous generalizations.

Abstract This paper introduces an abstract system for converting texts into structured information. The proposed architecture incorporates several strategies based on scientific models of how the brain records and recovers memories, and approaches that convert texts into structured data. The applications of this proposal are vast because, in general, the information that can be expressed like a text way, such as reports, emails, web contents, etc., is considered unstructured and, hence, the repositories based on a SQL do not capable to deal efficiently with this kind of data. The model in which was based on this proposal divides a sentence into clusters of words which in turn are transformed into members of a taxonomy of algebraic structures. The algebraic structures must comply properties of Abelian groups. Methodologically, an incremental prototyping approach has been applied to develop a satisfactory architecture that can be adapted to any language. A special case is studied, this deals with the Spanish language. The developed abstract system is a framework that permits to implements applications that convert unstructured textual information to structured information, this can be useful in contexts such as Natural Language Generation, Data Mining, dynamically generation of theories, among others.

This chapter discusses Slothouber–Graatsma–Conway puzzle, which asks one to assemble six 1 × 2 × 2 pieces and three 1 × 1 × 1 pieces into the shape of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube. The puzzle has been generalized to larger cubes, and there is an infinite family of such puzzles. The chapter's primary argument is that, for any odd positive integer n = 2k + 1, there is exactly one way, up to symmetry, to make an n × n × n cube out of n tiny 1 × 1 × 1 cubes and six of each of a set of rectangular blocks. The chapter describes a way to solve each puzzle in the family and explains why there are no other solutions. It then presents several related open problems.

We show that the isomorphism problems for left distributive algebras, racks, quandles and kei are as complex as possible in the sense of Borel reducibility. These algebraic structures are important for their connections with the theory of knots, links and braids. In particular, Joyce showed that a quandle can be associated with any knot, and this serves as a complete invariant for tame knots. However, such a classification of tame knots heuristically seemed to be unsatisfactory, due to the apparent difficulty of the quandle isomorphism problem. Our result confirms this view, showing that, from a set-theoretic perspective, classifying tame knots by quandles replaces one problem with (a special case of) a much harder problem.
