The pair $(mathcal{F},mathcal{G})$ is $q$-almost cross intersecting if every row and column of $C$ has exactly $q$ zeros. \u0000We consider $q$-almost cross intersecting pairs that have a circulant intersection matrix $C_{p,q}$, determined by a column vector with $p > 0$ ones followed by $q > 0$ zeros. This family of matrices includes the identity matrix in one extreme, and the adjacency matrix of the bipartite crown graph in the other extreme. \u0000We give constructions of pairs $(mathcal{F},mathcal{G})$ whose intersection matrix is $C_{p,q}$, for a wide range of values of the parameters $p$ and $q$, and in some cases also prove matching upper bounds. Specifically, we prove results for the following values of the parameters: (1) $1 leq p leq 2t-1$ and $1 leq q leq k-2t+1$. (2) $2t leq p leq t^2$ and any $q> 0$, where $k geq p+q$. (3) $p$ that is exponential in $t$, for large enough $k$. \u0000Using the first result we show that if $k geq 4t-3$ then $C_{2t-1,k-2t+1}$ is a maximal isolation submatrix of size $ktimes k$ in the $0,1$-matrix $A_{k,t}$, whose rows and columns are labeled by all subsets of size $t$ of $[k]$, and there is a one in the entry on row $x$ and column $y$ if and only if subsets $x,y$ intersect.","PeriodicalId":236892,"journal":{"name":"Art Discret.

The one-dimensional skeleta of associahedra are rotation graphs, where two vertices representing trees are connected by an edge if they differ by a single rotation. There are no known efficient algorithms to compute rotation distance between trees and thus distances in rotation graphs. Limiting the allowed locations of where rotations are permitted gives rise to a number of notions of restricted rotation distances. Allowing rotations at a minimal such set of locations gives restricted rotation distance. There are linear-time algorithms to compute restricted rotation distance, where there are only two permitted locations for rotations to occur. The associated restricted rotation graph has an efficient distance algorithm. There are linear upper and lower bounds on restricted rotation distance with respect to the sizes of the reduced tree pairs. Here, we experimentally investigate the expected restricted rotation distance between two trees selected at random of increasing size and find that it lies typically in a narrow band well within the earlier proven linear upper and lower bounds.","PeriodicalId":236892,"journal":{"name":"Art Discret.

For each such class of varieties there is a corresponding pointed discriminator function that generalises the ternary discriminator. In this paper some of the classes of pointed discriminator varieties that are contained in the class of dual binary discriminator varieties are characterised. A key unifying property is that the principal ideals of an algebra in a dual binary discriminator variety are entirely determined by the dual binary discriminator term for that variety.","PeriodicalId":236892,"journal":{"name":"Art Discret.

Along the way an infinite benzenoid called the half-plane was used for the purpose of theoretical reasoning. In this short paper, some properties of infinite benzenoids are discussed. It is proved that their boundary consists of countably many connected components. Convex infinite benzenoids are classified and it is proved that there are only countably many convex infinite benzenoids, whilst there are uncountably many infinite (non-convex) benzenoids. We also show that there are countably many infinite benzenoids which have a finite number of 1s in their boundary-edges code.","PeriodicalId":236892,"journal":{"name":"Art Discret. Appl.
