The problem is reduced to the task of finding the number of mutually disjoint pairs of S-permutation matrices. We describe some algorithms that solve this problem. Essential role in the description of the corresponding formulas and algorithms play bipartite graphs and operations with binary matrices. Solving the main problem, we have discussed also other mathematical and algorithmic problems, which in itself are interesting.

An equivalence relation on this set is introduced. Each binary matrix is represented using ordered n-tuples of natural numbers. We are looking for a formula which calculates the number of elements of each factor-set by the introduced equivalence relation. We show a relationship between some particular values of the parameters and the Fibonacci sequence.

Introduced by Geir Dahl concept disjoint pairs of S-permutation matrices [Linear Algebra and its Applications (430) (2009) 2457-2463] is used in this algorithm. Analyzing the works of G. Dahl and R. Fontana, the question of finding a general formula for counting disjoint pairs of n 2 × n 2 S-permutation matrices as a function of the integer n naturally arises. This is an interesting combinatorial problem that deserves its consideration. The present work solves this problem. To do that, the graph theory techniques have been used. It has been shown that to count the number of disjoint pairs of n 2 × n 2 S-permutation matrices, it is sufficient to obtain some numerical characteristics of the set of all bipartite graphs of the type g = R g ∪ C g , E g , where V = R g ∪ C g is the set of vertices, and E g is the set of edges of the graph g, R g ∩ C g = ∅, |R g | = |C g | = n.

The work will be especially useful for students-future programmers, and for their lecturers. Some of the strong sides of these programming languages C/C++ and Java are the possibilities of low-level programming. Some of the means for this possibility are the introduced standard bitwise operations, with the help of which, it is possible directly operate with every bit of an arbitrary variable situated in the computer's memory. In the current study, we are going to describe some methodical aspects for work with the bitwise operations and we will discuss the benefit of using bitwise operations in programming. The article shows some advantages of using bitwise operations, realizing various operations with sets.

For this purpose, the concept of canonical binary matrix is introduced. The different canonical matrices unambiguously describe the different with exactness up to isomorphism bipartite graphs. We have found a necessary and sufficient condition an arbitrary matrix to be canonical. This condition could be the base for realizing recursive algorithm for finding all n × m canonical binary matrices and consequently for finding all with exactness up to isomorphism binary matrices with cardinality of each part equal to n and m.

They use knowledge from the mathematical theories of probability and statistics to analyze specific properties of complex living systems. This paper considers some stochastic models of various processes and phenomena in genetics. Basic knowledge used in classical stochastic models is considered and applied to real problems from medical genetics with their solutions.

The elements α, β ∈ Sn are σ-equivalent, if there are natural numbers k and l, such that σ k α = βσ l , which is the same as the condition to exist natural numbers k1 and l1, such that α = σ k 1 βσ l 1. In this work we examine some properties of the so defined equivalence relation. We build a finite oriented graph Γn with the help of which is described an algorithm for solving the combinatorial problem for finding the number of equivalence classes according to this relation.

In each element of the factor-set generated by this relation, we define the concept of canonical matrix, namely the minimal element with respect to the lexicographic order. We have found a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary matrix with entries in the set [p] to be canonical. For this purpose, the matrices are uniquely represented by ordered n-tuples of integers.

Certain useful educational effects related to the analysis of such problems in programming classes are also pointed out.
