چکیده

Abstract. This survey of categorical structures, occurring naturally in mathematics, physics and computer science, deals with monoidal categories; various structures in monoidal categories; free monoidal structures; Penrose string notation; 2-dimensional categorical structures; the simplex equations of field theory and statistical mechanics; higher-order categories and computads; the (v,d)-cube equations; the simplex equations as cubical cocycle equations; and, cubes, braids and higher braids.

The (non-)existence of perfect codes in Lucas cubes

A Fibonacci string of length $n$ is a binary string $b = b_1b_2ldots b_n$ in which for every $1 leq i < n$, $b_icdot b_{i+1} = 0$. In other words, a Fibonacci string is a binary string without 11 as a substring. Similarly, a Lucas string is a Fibonacci string $b_1b_2ldots b_n$ that $b_1cdot b_n = 0$. For a natural number $ngeq1$, a Fibonacci cube of dimension $n$ is denoted by $Gamma_n$ and i...

خواص متریک و ترکیبیاتی مکعب‌های فیبوناتچی و لوکاس

An n-dimensional hypercube, Q_n, is a graph in which vertices are binary strings of length n where two vertices are adjacent if they differ in exactly one coordinate. Hypercubes and their subgraphs have a lot of applications in different fields of science, specially in computer science. This is the reason why they have been investigated by many authors during the years. Some of their subgraphs ...

A Labelling Scheme for Higher Dimensional Simplex Equations

We present a succinct way of obtaining all possible higher dimensional generalization of Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation (QYBE). Using the scheme, we could generate the two popular three-simplex equations, namely: Zamolodchikov’s tetrahedron equation (ZTE) and Frenkel and Moore equation (FME).

Generalized Fibonacci cubes

Generalized Fibonacci cube Qd(f) is introduced as the graph obtained from the d-cube Qd by removing all vertices that contain a given binary string f as a substring. In this notation the Fibonacci cube Γd is Qd(11). The question whether Qd(f) is an isometric subgraph of Qd is studied. Embeddable and nonembeddable infinite series are given. The question is completely solved for strings f of leng...

Randomized Simplex Algorithms on Klee-Minty Cubes

We investigate the behavior of randomized simplex algorithms on special linear programs. For this, we develop combinatorial models for the Klee-Minty cubes [17] and similar linear programs with exponential decreasing paths. The analysis of two most natural randomized pivot rules on the Klee-Minty cubes leads t o (nearly) quadratic lower bounds for the complexity of linear programming with rando...
