In order to investigate multiplicative structures in additively large sets, Beiglb\"{o}ck et al. raised a significant open question as to whether or not every subset of the natural numbers with bounded gaps (syndetic set) contains…

The classical theory of continued fractions has been widely studied for centuries for its important properties of good approximation, and more recently it has been generalized to $p$-adic numbers where it presents many differences with…

We consider the ILP Feasibility problem: given an integer linear program $\{Ax = b, x\geq 0\}$, where $A$ is an integer matrix with $k$ rows and $\ell$ columns and $b$ is a vector of $k$ integers, we ask whether there exists…

The notion of abundance of certain type of configuration in certain large sets was first proved by Furstenberg and Glazner in 1998. After that many author investigate abundance of different types of configurations in different types of…

Fix $A$, a family of subsets of natural numbers, and let $G_A(n)$ be the maximum cardinality of a subset of $\{1,2,..., n\}$ that does not have any subset in $A$. We consider the general problem of giving upper bounds on $G_A(n)$ and give…

We propose a new type of approximate counting algorithms for the problems of enumerating the number of independent sets and proper colorings in low degree graphs with large girth. Our algorithms are not based on a commonly used Markov chain…

Celebrated theorems of Roth and of Matou\v{s}ek and Spencer together show that the discrepancy of arithmetic progressions in the first $n$ positive integers is $\Theta(n^{1/4})$. We study the analogous problem in the $\mathbb{Z}_n$ setting.…

In this paper, we generalize the method of using two parallel versions of the lifted MRD code from the existing work [1]. The Delsarte theorem of the rank distribution of MRD codes is an important part to count codewords in our…

Green used an arithmetic analogue of Szemer\'edi's celebrated regularity lemma to prove the following strengthening of Roth's theorem in vector spaces. For every $\alpha>0$, $\beta<\alpha^3$, and prime number $p$, there is a least positive…

By applying the Newton-Gregory expansion to the polynomial associated with the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, we derive a couple of infinite families of explicit formulas for $S_k(n)$. One of the families…

For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >=…

We prove that if $A\subset \{1,\dots,N\}$ has no nontrivial three-term arithmetic progressions, then $|A|\leq \exp(-c\log(N)^{1/6}\log\log(N)^{-1})N$ for some absolute constant $c>0$. To obtain this bound, we use an iterated variant of the…

A coloured version of classic extremal problems dates back to Erd\H{o}s and Rothschild, who in 1974 asked which $n$-vertex graph has the maximum number of 2-edge-colourings without monochromatic triangles. They conjectured that the answer…
