On some variations of coloring problems of infinite words

Given a finite coloring (or finite partition) of the free semigroup $A^+$ over a set $A$, we consider various types of monochromatic factorizations of right sided infinite words $x\in A^ω$. Some stronger versions of the usual notion of monochromatic factorization are introduced. A factorization is called sequentially monochromatic when concatenations of consecutive blocks are monochromatic. A sequentially monochromatic factorization is called ultra monochromatic if any concatenation of arbitrary permuted blocks of the factorization has the same color of the single blocks. We establish links, a…

Combinatorics of $γ$-structures

In this paper we study canonical $γ$-structures, a class of RNA pseudoknot structures that plays a key role in the context of polynomial time folding of RNA pseudoknot structures. A $γ$-structure is composed by specific building blocks, that have topological genus less than or equal to $γ$, where composition means concatenation and nesting of such blocks. Our main result is the derivation of the generating function of $γ$-structures via symbolic enumeration using so called irreducible shadows. We furthermore recursively compute the generating polynomials of irreducible shadows of genus $\le γ$…

Topology of spaces of hyperbolic polynomials and combinatorics of resonances

In this paper we study the topology of the strata, indexed by number partitions $λ$, in the natural stratification of the space of monic hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$. We prove stabilization theorems for removing an independent block or an independent relation in $λ$. We also prove contractibility of the one-point compactifications of the strata indexed by a large class of number partitions, including $λ=(k^m,1^r)$, for $m\geq 2$. Furthermore, we study the maps between the homology groups of the strata, induced by imposing additional relations (resonances) on the number partition $λ$, o…

New Lower Bounds for Matching Vector Codes

A Matching Vector (MV) family modulo $m$ is a pair of ordered lists $U=(u_1,...,u_t)$ and $V=(v_1,...,v_t)$ where $u_i,v_j \in \mathbb{Z}_m^n$ with the following inner product pattern: for any $i$, $< u_i,v_i>=0$, and for any $i \ne j$, $< u_i,v_j> \ne 0$. A MV family is called $q$-restricted if inner products $< u_i,v_j>$ take at most $q$ different values. Our interest in MV families stems from their recent application in the construction of sub-exponential locally decodable codes (LDCs). There, $q$-restricted MV families are used to construct LDCs with $q$ queries, and there is special inter…
