Recall that in a laminar family, any two sets are either disjoint or contained one in the other. Here, a parametrized weakening of this condition is introduced. Let us say that a set system $mathcal{F} subseteq 2^X$ is $t$-laminar if $A,B in mathcal{F}$ with $|A cap B| ge t$ implies $A subseteq B$ or $B subseteq A$. We obtain very close asymptotic bounds in terms of $n$ on the maximum size of a $2$-laminar family $mathcal{F} subseteq 2^{[n]}$. A construction for $3$-laminar families and a crude analysis for general $t$ are also given.
A matrix is emph{simple} if it is a (0,1)-matrix and there are no repeated columns. Given a (0,1)-matrix $F$, we say a matrix $A$ has $F$ as a emph{configuration}, denoted $Fprec A$, if there is a submatrix of $A$ which is a row and column permutatio
Let $ngeq 3$ and $r_n$ be a $3$-polytopal graph such that for every $3leq ileq n$, $r_n$ has at least one vertex of degree $i$. We find the minimal vertex count for $r_n$. We then describe an algorithm to construct the graphs $r_n$. A dual statement
In this paper, we generalize classical constructions of skew Hadamard difference families with two or four blocks in the additive groups of finite fields given by Szekeres (1969, 1971), Whiteman (1971) and Wallis-Whiteman (1972). In particular, we sh
In this paper, we find regular or biregular Hadamard matrices with maximum excess by negating some rows and columns of known Hadamard matrices obtained from quadratic residues of finite fields. In particular, we show that if either $4m^2+4m+3$ or $2m
We propose a quantum walk defined by digraphs (mixed graphs). This is like Grover walk that is perturbed by a certain complex-valued function defined by digraphs. The discriminant of this quantum walk is a matrix that is a certain normalization of ge
