Discovering new integer sequences and generalizing the existing ones are important and of great interest. In this article, various balanced k-ary trees are first studied and their taxonomy is built. In particular, two systematic balanced k-ary trees, whose nth tree is determined by a certain algorithm, are identified, i.e., complete and sizebalanced k-ary trees. The integer sequences from the f...

In this paper, we study $L^p$-conjecture on locally compact hypergroups and by some technical proofs we give some sufficient and necessary conditions  for a weighted Lebesgue space  $L^p(K,w)$ to be a convolution Banach algebra, where $1<p<infty$, $K$ is a locally compact hypergroup and $w$ is a weight function on $K$.  Among the other things, we also show that if $K$ is a locally compact hyper...

In this paper, we generalize some existing results on Boolean functions to the q-ary functions defined over Zq, where q ≥ 2 is an integer, and obtain some new characterization of q-ary functions based on spectral analysis. We provide a relationship between WalshHadamard spectra of two p-ary functions f and g (for p a prime) and their derivative Df,g. We provide a relationship between the Walsh-...

The paper deals with the perfect 1-error correcting codes over a finite field with q elements (briefly q-ary 1-perfect codes). We show that the orthogonal code to the q-ary non-full-rank 1-perfect code of length n = (q − 1)/(q − 1) is a q-ary constant-weight code with Hamming weight equals to qm−1 where m is any natural number not less than two. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for...

It is well known that finite commutative association schemes in the sense of the monograph of Bannai and Ito lead to finite commutative hypergroups with positive dual convolutions and even dual hypergroup structures. In this paper we present several discrete generalizations of association schemes which also lead to associated hypergroups. We show that discrete commutative hypergroups associated...

Hypergroups are generalizations of groups. If this binary operation is taken to be multivalued, then we arrive at a hypergroup. The motivation for generalization of the notion of group resulted naturally from various problems in non-commutative algebra, another motivation for such an investigation came from geometry. In various branches of mathematics we encounter important examples of topologi...
