We give a survey of work on the number of vertices of the convex hull of integer points defined by the system of linear inequalities. Also, we present our improvement of some of these.

We establish the existence of a conservative weak solution to the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear variational wave equation $u_{tt} - c(u)(c(u)u_x)_x=0$, for initial data of finite energy. Here $c(\cdot)$ is any smooth function with…

In 2000, A. Tripathi used generating functions to obtain a formula for the number of non-negative solutions (x,y) of the equation ax + by = n where a, b and n are given positive integers. We generalize this procedure for the number of…

In this work we study integrals of the form $\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\tanh(x)}{x}\mathrm{sech}(x)^{L}\exp(-Tx)dx$. For $L \in \mathbb{N}$, $L \leq 4$ and $T \in \mathbb{R}$ we give explicit expressions in terms of derivatives of the Hurwitz…

We construct numerical vortex solutions in a (3+1) dimensional Minkowski space-time for the extended version of the Skyrme-Faddeev model with target space $CP^N$. The solutions are essentially composed of $N$-th single vortex which does not…

The non-zero integer solution set is derived for C^n = A^n + B^n. The non-zero integer solution set for n = 2 is [C - (a + b)]^2 = 2ab. The variables a and b equal (C - A) and (C - B) respectively and are nonzero integer factors of 2M^2…

The covariogram of a compact set A contained in R^n is the function that to each x in R^n associates the volume of A intersected with (A+x). Recently it has been proved that the covariogram determines any planar convex body, in the class of…

We prove that every unit area convex pentagon is contained in a convex quadrilateral of area no greater than $3/\sqrt{5}$, and that every unit area convex hexagon is contained in a convex pentagon of area no greater than $7/6$. Both results…

The Collatz function is defined as C(n) = n / 2 if n is even and C(n) = 3n + 1 if n is odd. The Collatz conjecture states that every sequence generated by the Collatz function ends with the cycle (4, 2, 1) after a finite number of…

In this paper we study the equation $$ x^k + (x+1)^k = y^n,\quad n\geq 3, $$ when $k\equiv 2\pmod{4}$. We prove that the only solutions are for $x=0, -1$ when $6\leq k\leq 100$ or for a $k$ with odd prime factors congruent to $3\pmod{4}$.…

Let $F(\sigma)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{X_n}{n^\sigma}$ be a random Dirichlet series where $(X_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ are independent standard Gaussian random variables. We compute in a quantitative form the expected number of zeros of…

We present a computer assisted proof of the full listing of central configurations for spatial n-body problem for n = 5 and 6, with equal masses. For each central configuration we give a full list of its euclidean symmetries. For all masses…

We provide a complete and explicit characterization of the real zeros of sums of nonnegative circuit (SONC) polynomials, a recent certificate for nonnegative polynomials independent of sums of squares. As a consequence, we derive an exact…

We prove that for any integer $n\geq 12$, and for every $r$ in the interval $[3, \ldots, \lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor]$, the group $A_n$ has a string C-group representation of rank $r$ therefore showing that the only alternating group whose set…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb N$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb N$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x-1)/2+by(y-1)/2+cz(z-1)/2 +dw(w-1)/2$…

Let $N_a$ be the number of solutions to the equation $x^{2^k+1}+x+a=0$ in $\GF {n}$ where $\gcd(k,n)=1$. In 2004, by Bluher \cite{BLUHER2004} it was known that possible values of $N_a$ are only 0, 1 and 3. In 2008, Helleseth and Kholosha…

Given an integer linear recurrence sequence $\langle X_n \rangle_n$, the Skolem Problem asks to determine whether there is a natural number $n$ such that $X_n = 0$. Recent work by Lipton, Luca, Nieuwveld, Ouaknine, Purser, and Worrell…

There exists a minimum integer $N$ such that any 2-coloring of $\{1,2,...,N\}$ admits a monochromatic solution to $x+y+kz =\ell w$ for $k,\ell \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, where $N$ depends on $k$ and $\ell$. We determine $N$ when $\ell-k \in…
