An Alternative Way to Generalize the Pentagon

We introduce the concept of a pentagonal geometry as a generalization of the pentagon and the Desargues configuration, in the same vein that the generalized polygons share the fundamental properties of ordinary polygons. In short, a pentagonal geometry is a regular partial linear space in which for all points x, the points not collinear with the point x, form a line. We compute bounds on their parameters, give some constructions, obtain some nonexistence results for seemingly feasible parameters and suggest a cryptographic application related to identifying codes of partial linear spaces.     

前缀码与极大前缀码的一种新刻画

On a question of Zhang

When studying the conjugacy class version of the Huppert’s ρ-σ conjecture, Jiping Zhang raised a number theory question. In this article, we provide examples to show that the question raised by Zhang is not always true in general.     

On the Hamming distances of repeated-root constacyclic codes of length 4ps

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $s$, $m$ be positive integers, $\gamma ,\lambda$ be nonzero elements of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ such that ${\gamma }^{p^s}=\lambda$. In this paper, we show that, for any positive integer $\eta$, the Hamming distances of all repeated-root $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $\eta p^s$ can be determined by those of certain simple-root $\gamma$-constacyclic codes of length $\eta$. Using this result, Hamming distances of all constacyclic codes of length $4p^s$ are obtained. As an application, we identify all MDS $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $4p^s$.     

Gray codes extending quadratic matchings

Is it true that every matching in the n-dimensional hypercube can be extended to a Gray code? More than two decades have passed since Ruskey and Savage asked this question and the problem still remains open. A solution is known only in some special cases, including perfect matchings or matchings of linear size. This article shows that the answer to the Ruskey–Savage problem is affirmative for every matching of size at most . The proof is based on an inductive construction that extends balanced matchings in the completion of the hypercube by edges of into a Hamilton cycle of . On the other hand, we show that for every there is a balanced matching in of size that cannot be extended in this way.     

The dual code of any (δ+αu2)-constacyclic code over F2m[u]∕〈u4〉 of oddly even length

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$ be a finite field of cardinality $2^m$, $R={\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}\left[u\right]∕〈u^4〉={\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u^2{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}+u^3{\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}$ $(u^4=0)$ which is a finite chain ring, and $n$ is an odd positive integer. For any $\delta ,\alpha \in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^m}^{\times }$, an explicit representation for the dual code of any $(\delta +\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic code over $R$ of length $2n$ is given. And some dual codes of $(1+u^2)$-constacyclic codes over $R$ of length 14 are constructed. For the case of $\delta =1$, all distinct self-dual $(1+\alpha u^2)$-constacyclic codes over $R$ of length $2n$ are determined.     

On the Motion of Substance in a Channel of a Network: Extended Model and New Classes of Probability Distributions

We discuss the motion of substance in a channel containing nodes of a network. Each node of the channel can exchange substance with: (i) neighboring nodes of the channel, (ii) network nodes which do not belong to the channel, and (iii) environment of the network. The new point in this study is that we assume possibility for exchange of substance among flows of substance between nodes of the channel and: (i) nodes that belong to the network but do not belong to the channel and (ii) environment of the network. This leads to an extension of the model of motion of substance and the extended model contains previous models as particular cases. We use a discrete-time model of motion of substance and consider a stationary regime of motion of substance in a channel containing a finite number of nodes. As results of the study, we obtain a class of probability distributions connected to the amount of substance in nodes of the channel. We prove that the obtained class of distributions contains all truncated discrete probability distributions of discrete random variable ω which can take values 0,1,⋯,N. Theory for the case of a channel containing infinite number of nodes is presented in Appendix A. The continuous version of the discussed discrete probability distributions is described in Appendix B. The discussed extended model and obtained results can be used for the study of phenomena that can be modeled by flows in networks: motion of resources, traffic flows, motion of migrants, etc.
