For a non-degenerate irreducible curve $C$ of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, we prove that the number $N_q(C)$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational points of $C$ satisfies the inequality $N_q(C) \leq (d-2)q+1$. Our result improves…

A connected graph $\G$ is called {\em nicely distance--balanced}, whenever there exists a positive integer $\gamma=\gamma(\G)$, such that for any two adjacent vertices $u,v$ of $\G$ there are exactly $\gamma$ vertices of $\G$ which are…

Let $M_\gamma$ be precise a priori majorant of first eigenvalues of Sturm--Liouville problems $-y"+qy=\lambda y,\quad y(0)=y(1)=0$, where $q\leqslant 0$ and $\int_0^1 |q|^\gamma\,dx=1$, $\gamma\in (0,1/2)$. It is shown that the inequality…

In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in two dimensional complex projective space, of degree d, passing through d(d+3)/2-(k+1) generic points and having one node and one codimension k singularity, where k is…

We show that for any natural number $s$, there is a constant $\gamma$ and a subgraph-closed class having, for any natural $n$, at most $\gamma^n$ graphs on $n$ vertices up to isomorphism, but no adjacency labeling scheme with labels of size…

The {\em overlap number} of a finite $(d+1)$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is defined as the largest constant $c(H)\in (0,1]$ such that no matter how we map the vertices of $H$ into $\R^d$, there is a point covered by at least a $c(H)$-fraction of…

For continuous \gamma, g:[0,1]\to(0,\infty), consider the degenerate stochastic differential equation dX_t=[1-|X_t|^2]^{1/2}\gamma(|X_t|) dB_t-g(|X_t|)X_t dt in the closed unit ball of R^n. We introduce a new idea to show pathwise…

Let $\{Z_t, t\geq 0\}$ be a strictly stable process on $\R$ with index $\alpha\in (0,2]$. We prove that for every $p > \alpha$, there exists $\gamma = \gamma (\alpha, p)$ and $\k = \k (\alpha, p)\in (0, +\infty)$ such that…

Motivated by the weighted Bounded Negativity Conjecture, we prove that all but finitely many reduced and irreducible curves $C$ on the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $n$ points satisfy the inequality $C^2 \ge \min \{-\frac{1}{12} n (C.L +27),…

It is proved that for class $A_\gamma=\{q\in L_1[0,1]: q\geq 0, \int_0^1 q^\gamma\,dx=1\}$, where $\gamma\in (0,1)$, there exists a potential $q_*\in A_\gamma$ such that minimal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(q_*)$ of boundary problem $$…

Let $R^{n+1, n}$ be the vector space $R^{2n+1}$ equipped with the bilinear form $(X,Y)=X^t C_n Y$ of index $n$, where $C_n= \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} (-1)^{n+i-1} e_{i, 2n+2-i}$. A smooth $\gamma: R\to R^{n+1,n}$ is {\it isotropic} if $\gamma,…

For a plane curve, a point on the projective plane is said to be Galois if the projection from the point as a map from the curve to a line induces a Galois extension of function fields. We present upper bounds for the number of Galois…

Let $A\subseteq\{1,...,N\}$ and $P_1,...,P_\ell\in\Z[n]$ with $P_i(0)=0$ and $\deg P_i=k$ for every $1\leq i\leq\ell$. We show, using Fourier analytic techniques, that for every $\VE>0$, there necessarily exists $n\in\N$ such that…

In this paper, we prove a trace inequality $\text{Tr}[ f(A) A^s B^s ] \leq \text{Tr}[ f(A) (A^{1/2} B A^{1/2} )^s ]$ for any positive and monotone increasing function $f$, $s\in[0,1]$, and positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$. On the…

Given a graph $G = (V,E)$ and two its distinct vertices $u$ and $v$. The $(u,v)$-$P_k$-{\em addition graph} of $G$ is the graph $G_{u,v,k-2}$ obtained from disjoint union of $G$ and a path $P_k: x_0,x_1,..,x_{k-1}$, $k \geq 2$, by…

Theorem A. Let $x_1,...,x_{2k+1}$ be unit vectors in a normed plane. Then there exist signs $\epsi_1,...,\epsi_{2k+1}\in\{\pm 1\}$ such that $\norm{\sum_{i=1}^{2k+1}\epsi_i x_i}\leq 1$. We use the method of proof of the above theorem to…

A Gallai coloring of a complete graph $K_n$ is an edge coloring without triangles colored with three different colors. A sequence $e_1\ge \dots \ge e_k$ of positive integers is an $(n,k)$-sequence if $\sum_{i=1}^k e_i=\binom{n}{2}$. An…

Let $q\geq 5$ be a prime power. In this note, we prove that if a plane curve $\mathcal{X}$ of degree $q - 1$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ without $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear components attains the Sziklai upper bound $(d-1)q+1 = (q - 1)^2$ for the…

The Cayley sum graph $\Gamma_A$ of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_n$ is defined to have vertex set $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and an edge between two distinct vertices $x, y \in \mathbb{Z}_n$ if $x + y \in A$. Green and Morris proved that if the set $A$…

We determine the minimal bi-degree(s) of an irreducible filling curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ for $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$. It is $(q+1, q+1)$ if $q\neq 2$, and they are $(4,3)$ and $(3,4)$ if $q=2$.
