Zigzag and foxtrot terraces for Zn

نویسنده

  • Donald A. Preece
چکیده

A terrace for Zn (a Zn terrace) is an arrangement (a1, a2, . . . , an) of the n elements of Zn such that the sets of differences ai+1 − ai and ai − ai+1 (i = 1, 2, . . . , n−1) together contain each element of Zn\{0} exactly twice. Various general constructions are given for Zn terraces of two special types: zigzag terraces and foxtrot terraces. Some special cases already appear in the literatures of recreational and combinatorial mathematics, of statistics, and of the map color theorem, though the term “terrace” is not used in these sources. Now some powerful generalisations of previous results are presented, along with some new constructions.

On twizzler, zigzag and graceful terraces

We present several constructions for terraces for cyclic groups that are zigzag terraces, graceful terraces or both. These allow us to complete the classification of imperfect twizzler terraces, unify several previously unrelated constructions of terraces from the literature, find terraces for some non-cyclic abelian groups, and show that for any given r the Oberwolfach Problem with parameters ...

SOME Zn−1 TERRACES FROM Zn POWER-SEQUENCES, n BEING AN ODD PRIME POWER

A terrace for Zm is a particular type of sequence formed from the m elements of Zm. For m odd, many procedures are available for constructing power-sequence terraces for Zm; each terrace of this sort may be partitioned into segments, of which one contains merely the zero element of Zm, whereas every other segment is either a sequence of successive powers of an element of Zm or such a sequence m...

catena-Poly[[(ethane­diol-κ2 O,O′)zinc]-μ-oxalato-κ4 O 1,O 2:O 1′,O 2′]

In the title complex, [Zn(C₂O₄)(C₂H₆O₂)](n), the Zn(II) ion is in a distorted octa-hedral environment formed by two O atoms from an ethyl-ene glycol mol-ecule and four O atoms from two oxalate anions. The oxalate anions link the Zn(II) ions, forming a zigzag chain along [010]. The zigzag chains are extended into a three-dimensional network by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, {[Zn(C8H4O4)(C6H6N2O)2]·C6H6N2O} n , the Zn(II) ion exhibits a tetra-hedral coordination environment defined by two benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate dianions and two 4-pyridinealdoxime ligands. The dianions bridge the Zn(II) ions, giving a zigzag chain along the b axis. Adjacent chains are connected by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a cavity in which an uncoordinating 4-pyridine-...

Morphometric Analysis to Assess Sea Level History and Uplift Rate in the Pleistocene Marine Terraces of Chabahar

Abstract Marine terraces have long been used as baseline geodetic markers of relative past sea levels, reflecting the interaction between vertical crustal movements and sea level oscillations. The terraces age and elevation of shoreline angles can be used to determine uplift rate. Disparate uplift rates in pervious investigation in the study area are related to manual measurements based on ...
