Abstract

Codes are crucial in many areas of applications. Different types of codes are designed to meet specific needs, which makes them more effective and useful. Linear codes are extensively used in data storage systems. Identifying codes are essential for locating malfunctioning processors. To combine these benefits, researchers have looked into a type of code called linear identifying codes. These codes blend the error-correction abilities of linear codes with the fault-finding capabilities of identifying codes. Group codes are also highly regarded for their strong properties and reliable decoding methods. In our work, we introduce a new type of identifying code called group Identifying codes. These codes aim to bring together the best features of both Identifying codes and group codes, offering enhanced performance in fault detection and system reliability. In this paper, we establish limits on the smallest size of a group identifying code when \( G \) is an \( n \)-dimensional Hamming cube \( K_{m_1} \square K_{m_2} \square \dots \square K_{m_n} \). Additionally, we determine the smallest size of a linear identifying code in \( K_p^n \) for a prime \( p \) and \( n \geq 2 \). In [1], it was hypothesized that \( γ^{ID}(K_m^3) = m^2 \) for an integer \( m \geq 2 \). Although this conjecture was disproven in [2], we demonstrate that group identifying codes in \( K_m^3 \) for an integer \( m \geq 2 \) and linear identifying codes in \( K_p^3 \) for a prime \( p \) indeed fulfill this conjecture.

On nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits

Nut graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix is singular with one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector with no zero entries. In a recent paper, Bašić, Fowler and Pisanski proved that the automorphism group of a nut graph has more orbits on the edge set than on the vertex set. They classified all orders for which a vertex-transitive nut graph with precisely two edge orbits exists, and conjectured that a nut graph with two vertex and three edge orbits exists for each non-prime order $n \ge 9$. Motivated by this conjecture, we introduce a very general construction that provides graphs with the desired symmetry properties, and we determine some sufficient spectral and structural conditions under which they are nut graphs. The construction yields infinite families of examples and confirms the above conjecture for all odd non-prime orders up to $2\,500$ and for at least $99.8$ percent of all odd non-prime orders up to a million. Finally, we present some additional interesting examples of nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits that do not arise from this construction.

On vertex-minimal simplicial maps to the sphere

For positive integers $n,d$, let $λ(n,d)$ be the minimal number of vertices of a triangulation of the $n$-sphere which admits a degree $d$ simplicial map onto the boundary of the $(n+1)$-simplex. We show that for $h=\lfloor\frac{n+1}2\rfloor$, the function $λ(n,d)^h$ has linear order of growth in $d$, answering a question of O. Musin. All triangulations we obtained are isomorphic to boundaries of convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
