A skew edge coloring of a graph G is defined to be a set of two edge colorings such that no two edges are assigned the same unordered pair of colors. The skew chromatic index s(G) is the minimum number of colors required for a skew edge coloring of G. In this paper, skew edge coloring of certain classes of graphs are determined. Furthermore, the skew chromatic index of those graphs is obtained ...

Two canonical forms for skew-symmetric matrix polynomials over arbitrary fields are characterized — the Smith form, and its skew-symmetric variant obtained via unimodular congruences. Applications include the analysis of the eigenvalue and elementary divisor structure of products of two skew-symmetric matrices, the derivation of a Smith-McMillan-like canonical form for skew-symmetric rational m...

We provide a new definition for the concept of skew in parallel asynchronous communications introduced in [2]. The new definition extends and strengthens previously known results on skew. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for codes that can tolerate a certain amount of skew under the new definition. We also extend the results to codes that can tolerate a certain amount of skew and det...

We mainly investigate the structures of skew cyclic and skew quasicyclic codes of arbitrary length over Galois rings. Similar to [5], our results show that the skew cyclic codes are equivalent to either cyclic and quasi-cyclic codes over Galois rings. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for skew cyclic codes over Galois rings to be free. A sufficient condition for 1-generator...

In this article, we study skew cyclic codes over ring R = Fq + vFq + v 2 Fq, where q = p, p is an odd prime and v3 = v. We describe generator polynomials of skew cyclic codes over this ring and investigate the structural properties of skew cyclic codes over R by a decomposition theorem. We also describe the generator polynomials of the duals of skew cyclic codes. Moreover, the idempotent genera...

In this paper , an improved skew angle estimation technique is presented. Skew angle detection is an important part of any Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and document analysis system. The method considers the lowermost pixels of some selected characters of the text, which maybe subject to Hough transform for skew angle detection. A fast approach is also proposed which works almost as accur...

Skew deviation is a vertical strabismus caused by a supranuclear lesion in the posterior fossa. Because skew deviation may clinically mimic trochlear nerve palsy, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate the 2 conditions. In this review we compare the clinical presentations of skew deviation and trochlear nerve palsy and examine the pathophysiology that underlies skew deviation. We then descr...

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in showing that certain conditions on skew shapes A and B are sufficient for the difference sA − sB of their skew Schur functions to be Schur-positive. We determine necessary conditions for the difference to be Schur-positive. Our conditions are motivated by those of Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg that are necessary for sA = sB , and we d...
