Let $A$ be a vector space of real valued functions on a non-empty set $X$ and $L:A\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ a linear functional. Given a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$, of subsets of $X$, we present a necessary condition for $L$ to be…

Given relatively prime positive integers, $a_1,\ldots,a_n$, the Frobenius number is the largest integer with no representations of the form $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_nx_n$ with nonnegative integers $x_i$. This classical value has recently been…

It is proved that all sufficiently large integers $n$ can be represented as $$n=x_1^2+x_2^3+\cdots+x_{13}^{14},$$ where $x_1,\ldots,x_{13}$ are positive integers. This improves upon the current record with $14$ variables in place of $13$.
