Given a prime power q≡1(mod4), the Paley graph of order q is the graph defined over 𝔽q (the finite field with q elements), such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their difference is a square in 𝔽q. A clique in the Paley graph over 𝔽q is a...

Reaction-diffusion systems serve as paradigms to describe ubiquitous pattern formation phenomena arising from natural science and social science such as biology, ecology, finance,etc., and have been extensively studied over the past several decades...

A sign pattern (matrix) has entries in {+, -, 0}. We investigate eigenvalue properties of a sign pattern of order 2n where two of the blocks are prescribed sign patterns of order n, and the other two (order n) blocks are the positive diagonal sign...

For fixed n, consider the symmetric group S_n on the symbols 1,...,n and the set of *star* transpositions, the transpositions that contain the symbol n. A *star factorization* of a permutation b in S_n of length k is the writing of b as the product...

A d-polytope is called (d−i)-simplicial if all of its (d−i)-faces are simplices. It is i-simple if every (d−i−1)-face belongs to exactly i+1 facets. A few low-dimensional examples of (d−i)-simplicial i-simple polytopes arising from regular polytopes...

A harmonic function of one variable is a linear function. A harmonic function of two variables is the real or imaginary part of an analytic function. A harmonic function of n variables is a function u satisfying \frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial x_{1}^{2...

Local Arthur packets are sets of representations of p-adic groups that help us realize important classes of automorphic forms. They have geometric analogues, called ABV-packets. This was first proposed for p-adic groups by David Vogan following his...

In this talk, we study the performance of some preconditioners for accelerating the convergence of Krylov subspace methods for solving linear systems of equations with a block three-by-three structure. A brief discussion is included regarding how...
