In this paper, we study the structure of cyclic, quasi-cyclic, constacyclic codes and their skew codes over the finite ring R = Z3+vZ3+v 2 Z3, v 3 = v. The Gray images of cyclic, quasi-cyclic, skew cyclic, skew quasicyclic and skew constacyclic codes over R are obtained. A necessary and sufficient condition for cyclic (negacyclic) codes over R that contains its dual has been given. The paramete...

Some skew-symmetrizable integer exchange matrices are associated to ideal (tagged) triangulations of marked bordered surfaces. These exchange matrices admit unfoldings to skew-symmetric matrices. We develop a combinatorial algorithm that determines if a given skew-symmetrizable matrix is of such type. This algorithm generalizes the one in [1]. As a corollary, we use this algorithm to determine ...

Recently, Feng and Xiang [10] found a new construction of skew Hadamard difference sets in elementary abelian groups. In this paper, we introduce a new invariant for equivalence of skew Hadamard difference sets, namely triple intersection numbers modulo a prime, and discuss inequivalence between Feng-Xiang skew Hadamard difference sets and the Paley difference sets. As a consequence, we show th...

Quantifying dependence between extreme values is a central problem in many theoretical and applied studies. The main distinction is between asymptotically independent and asymptotically dependent extremes, with important theoretical examples of these general limiting classes being the extremal behaviour of a bivariate Normal distribution, for asymptotic independence, and of the bivariate t dist...

Linear mixed models were developed to handle clustered data and have been a topic of increasing interest in statistics for the past fifty years. Generally, the normality (or symmetry) of the random effects is a common assumption in linear mixed models but it may, sometimes, be unrealistic, obscuring important features of among-subjects variation. In this article, we utilize skew-normal/independ...

Chinese Handwritten character recognition is an emerging field in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. Documents acquired through Scanner, Mobile or Camera devices are often prone to Skew and Correction of skew for such document is a major task and important factor in optical character recognition. The goal of the work is to correct skew for the documents. In this paper we have proposed a n...

During document scanning, skew is inevitably introduced into the incoming document image. Since the algorithms for layout analysis and character recognition are generally very sensitive to the page skew, skew detection and correction in document images are the critical steps before layout analysis. In this paper, a novel skew detection method based on straight-line fitting is proposed. And a co...

Natural scene images are generally captured with portable devices such as mobile phone cameras. Scene images contains text information as part of captured scene. Scene image text poses difficultly in processing as compared to document text due to complexity of scene and open environment conditions. Scene images usually suffer from skew deformation due to inherent nature of portable capturing de...

In the present paper, we study skew cyclic codes over the ring $F_{q}+vF_{q}+v^2F_{q}$, where $v^3=v,~q=p^m$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We investigate the structural properties of skew cyclic codes over $F_{q}+vF_{q}+v^2F_{q}$ using decomposition method. By defining a Gray map from $F_{q}+vF_{q}+v^2F_{q}$ to $F_{q}^3$, it has been proved that the Gray image of a skew cyclic code of length $n$ ove...

This thesis treats different kinds of standard bases in finitely generated modules over the ring of difference-skew-differential operators, their computation and their application to the computation of multivariate dimension (quasi-)polynomials. It consists of two parts. The first deals with standard bases in modules over the ring of difference-skew-differential operators. The second part deals...
