Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we focus on cutting-edge algebra applications at the crossroads of theory and application. This collection delves into the dynamic landscape where algebraic principles are powerful tools to unravel real-world challenges across diverse domains. From cryptography and computer science to data analysis and engineering applications, this Special Issue aims to spotlight the transformative impact of applied algebra.

The primary goal is to showcase recent advancements that bridge the theoretical elegance of algebraic structures with their practical utility, emphasizing their pivotal role in addressing contemporary problems. We invite contributions that demonstrate the versatility and applicability of algebraic concepts, including but not limited to linear algebra, group theory, ring theory, number theory, and polynomial algebra. The scope extends to applications in cryptography, data science, mathematical modeling, optimization problems, and beyond.

Contributors are encouraged to expose how algebraic methodologies provide innovative solutions in areas such as coding theory, computational algebra, and algebraic geometry. By bringing together researchers and practitioners, we aim to foster a rich exchange of ideas, providing a deeper understanding of how algebraic approaches contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of applied sciences. "Advances in Applied Algebra and Related Topics" aims to contribute to shaping the future of applied algebra and its profound impact on technological advancements and problem-solving methodologies.

The Dedekind η-function plays an important role in number theory, particularly in the study of modular forms, q-series, and partition identities. In this paper, we investigate several level-12 η-function identities and examine their combinatorial implications. These identities are obtained from algebraic transformations of known expansions involving mock theta functions, which were originally introduced by Srinivasa Ramanujan. By employing classical q-series techniques and modular transformations, we derive identities that reveal interesting relationships among η-functions. We further interpret these identities combinatorially to establish correspondences between specific classes of colored partitions with prescribed color restrictions. These results provide new insights into the structure of colored partition functions and highlight the interplay between mock theta functions, Dedekind η-function identities, and combinatorial partition theory. Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the connections between modular forms and colored partitions and suggest further directions for research in number theory and combinatorics.

In this article, we study polycyclic codes over the ring R=Fq[v]/v21, where q=pm with p being an odd prime. First, we introduce polycyclic codes and sequential codes over R, and characterize the structural properties of these polycyclic codes. Next, we analyze the Euclidean dual codes, annihilator dual codes, annihilator self-orthogonal codes, and annihilator linear complementary dual (LCD) codes associated with this family of codes. Finally, some asymmetric entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (AEAQECCs) are constructed from polycyclic codes over R. Moreover, the parameters of our AEAQECCs are new in the existing literature. Full article

This article investigates atomic decompositions in geometric lattices isomorphic to the partition lattice Π(X) of finite set X, a fundamental structure in lattice theory and combinatorics. We explore the role of atomicity in these lattices, building on concepts introduced by D.D. Anderson, D.F. Anderson, and M. Zafrullah within the context of factorization theory in commutative algebra. As part of the study, we first examine the main characteristics of the function N:Π(X)N, which assigns to each partition π the number of minimal atomic decompositions of π. We then consider a distinguished subset of atoms, R, referred to as the set of red atoms, and derive a recursive formula for π(X,j,s,R), which enumerates the rank-j partitions expressible as the join of exactly s red atoms.

Since Hamilton proposed quaternions as a system of numbers that does not satisfy the ordinary commutative rule of multiplication, quaternion algebras have played an important role in many mathematical and physical studies. This paper introduces the generalized notion of Pauli Fibonacci polynomial quaternions, a definition that incorporates the advantages of the Fibonacci number system augmented by the Pauli matrix structure. With the concept presented in the study, it aims to provide material that can be used in a more in-depth understanding of the principles of coding theory and quantum physics, which contribute to the confidentiality needed by the digital world, with the help of quaternions. In this study, an approach has been developed by integrating the advantageous and consistent structure of quaternions used to solve the problem of system lock-up and unresponsiveness during rotational movements in robot programming, the mathematically compact and functional form of Pauli matrices, and a generalized version of the Fibonacci sequence, which is an application of aesthetic patterns in nature.

In the study of algebraic structures related to logical systems, ideals and filters have different meanings and are algebraic notions related to logical provable formulas. Unlike the classical Boolean lattice theory, ideals and filters are not dual notions in residuated lattices. An interesting subclass of residuated lattices is the class of triangle algebras, which is an equational representation of interval-valued residuated lattices that provides an algebraic framework for using closed intervals as truth values in fuzzy logic. The main aim of this article is to introduce and study the concept of ideals in triangle algebras and investigate the connection between ideals and filters. We first point out that the construction procedure for the filter generated by a subset of a triangle algebra established by another study is incorrect, and we proceed to give an alternative characterization.
