Symmetric (79, 27, 9)-designs Admitting a Faithful Action of a Frobenius Group of Order 39
1997
AbstractIn this paper we present the classification of symmetric designs with parameters (79, 27, 9) on which a non-abelian group of order 39 acts faithfully. In particular, we show that such a group acts semi-standardly with 7 orbits. Using the method of tactical decompositions, we are able to construct exactly 1320 non-isomorphic designs. The orders of the full automorphism groups of these designs all divide 8 · 3 · 13.
Automata and differentiable words
2011
We exhibit the construction of a deterministic automaton that, given k > 0, recognizes the (regular) language of k-differentiable words. Our approach follows a scheme of Crochemore et al. based on minimal forbidden words. We extend this construction to the case of C\infinity-words, i.e., words differentiable arbitrary many times. We thus obtain an infinite automaton for representing the set of C\infinity-words. We derive a classification of C\infinity-words induced by the structure of the automaton. Then, we introduce a new framework for dealing with \infinity-words, based on a three letter alphabet. This allows us to define a compacted version of the automaton, that we use to prove that ev…
Embedding finite linear spaces in projective planes, II
1987
Abstract It is shown that a finite linear space with maximal point degree n + 1 can be embedded in a projective plane of order n, provided that the line sizes are big enough.
Finite linear spaces in which any n-gon is euclidean
1986
Abstract An n-gon of a linear space is a set S of n points no three of which are collinear. By a diagonal point of S we mean a point p off S with the property that at least two lines through p intersect S in two points. The number of diagonal points is called the type of S. For example, a 4-gon has at most three diagonal points. We call an n-gon euclidean if (roughly speaking) it contains the maximal possible number of 4-gons of type 3. In this paper, we characterize all finite linear spaces in which, for a fixed number n ⩾ 5, any n-gon is euclidean. It turns out that these structures are essentially projective spaces or punctured projective spaces.
Best Proximity Point Results in Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces
2013
We consider the problem of finding a best proximity point which achieves the minimum distance between two nonempty sets in a non-Archimedean fuzzy metric space. First we prove the existence and uniqueness of the best proximity point by using di fferent contractive conditions, then we present some examples to support our best proximity point theorems.
Heyting-valued interpretations for Constructive Set Theory
2006
AbstractWe define and investigate Heyting-valued interpretations for Constructive Zermelo–Frankel set theory (CZF). These interpretations provide models for CZF that are analogous to Boolean-valued models for ZF and to Heyting-valued models for IZF. Heyting-valued interpretations are defined here using set-generated frames and formal topologies. As applications of Heyting-valued interpretations, we present a relative consistency result and an independence proof.
The generalised type-theoretic interpretation of constructive set theory
2006
We present a generalisation of the type-theoretic interpretation of constructive set theory into Martin-Löf type theory. The generalisation involves replacing Martin-Löf type theory with a new type theory in which logic is treated as primitive instead of being formulated via the propositions-as-types representation. The original interpretation treated logic in Martin-Löf type theory via the propositions-as-types interpretation. The generalisation involves replacing Martin-Löf type theory with a new type theory in which logic is treated as primitive. The primitive treatment of logic in type theories allows us to study reinterpretations of logic, such as the double-negation translation.
Logics with counting and equivalence
2014
We consider the two-variable fragment of first-order logic with counting, subject to the stipulation that a single distinguished binary predicate be interpreted as an equivalence. We show that the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for this logic are both NEXPTIME-complete. We further show that the corresponding problems for two-variable first-order logic with counting and two equivalences are both undecidable.
Balls into non-uniform bins
2014
Balls-into-bins games for uniform bins are widely used to model randomized load balancing strategies. Recently, balls-into-bins games have been analysed under the assumption that the selection probabilities for bins are not uniformly distributed. These new models are motivated by properties of many peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, which are not able to perfectly balance the load over the bins. While previous evaluations try to find strategies for uniform bins under non-uniform bin selection probabilities, this paper investigates heterogeneous bins, where the "capacities" of the bins might differ significantly. We show that heterogeneous environments can even help to distribute the load more eve…
A Motzkin filter in the Tamari lattice
2015
The Tamari lattice of order n can be defined on the set T n of binary trees endowed with the partial order relation induced by the well-known rotation transformation. In this paper, we restrict our attention to the subset M n of Motzkin trees. This set appears as a filter of the Tamari lattice. We prove that its diameter is 2 n - 5 and that its radius is n - 2 . Enumeration results are given for join and meet irreducible elements, minimal elements and coverings. The set M n endowed with an order relation based on a restricted rotation is then isomorphic to a ranked join-semilattice recently defined in Baril and Pallo (2014). As a consequence, we deduce an upper bound for the rotation distan…
