Given a set U of size q in an affine plane of order q, we determine the possibilities for the number of directions of secants of U, and in many cases characterize the sets U with given number of secant directions.

An algorithm for the construction of a defining set of relations w.r.t. a given set of generators of a finite group G is presented. Compared with previously known methods it yields fewer relations and is better suited for iterated application to large groups. These improvements are achieved by consi
The hamiltonian path graph H(F) of a graph F is that graph having the same vertex set as F and in which two vertices u and u are adjacent if and only if F contains a hamiltonian u -u path. First, in response to a conjecture of Chartrand, Kapoor and Nordhaus, a characterization of nonhamiltonian grap
