Let $G$ be an edge-colored connected graph. A path $P$ in $G$ is called a distance $\ell$-proper path if no two edges of the same color appear with fewer than $\ell$ edges in between on $P$. The graph $G$ is called $(k,\ell)$-proper…

We prove that every set of $n$ red and $n$ blue points in the plane contains a red and a blue point such that every circle through them encloses at least $n(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) -o(n)$ points of the set. This is a two-colored version of a…

A proper vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is equitable if the sizes of color classes differ by at most one. The equitable chromatic threshold $\chi_{eq}^*(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest integer $m$ such that $G$ is equitably $n$-colorable for all…

Let $G$ be a graph that is topologically embedded in the plane and let $\mathcal{A}$ be an arrangement of pseudolines intersecting the drawing of $G$. An aligned drawing of $G$ and $\mathcal{A}$ is a planar polyline drawing $\Gamma$ of $G$…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\matchcal{B}$ denote two families of subsets of an $n$-element set. The pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is said to be $\ell$-cross-intersecting iff $|A\cap B| = \ell$ for all $A\in\mathcal{A}$ and $B\in\mathcal{B}$.…

Motivated by a new way of visualizing hypergraphs, we study the following problem. Consider a rectangular grid and a set of colors $\chi$. Each cell $s$ in the grid is assigned a subset of colors $\chi_s \subseteq \chi$ and should be…

Solving a longstanding problem on equiangular lines, we determine, for each given fixed angle and in all sufficiently large dimensions, the maximum number of lines pairwise separated by the given angle. Fix $0 < \alpha < 1$. Let…

In this paper, we consider some equilibrium problems (or saddle point problems), in which the domains of the considered mappings are limited at some regions. These restricted regions are defined by some mappings which are called the…

In this paper we present proofs of basic results, including those developed so far by H. Bell, for the plane fixed point problem. Some of these results had been announced much earlier by Bell but without accessible proofs. We define the…

We explore the norm attainment set and the minimum norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces. Indeed, we obtain a complete characterization of both the sets, separately for operators between…

An ordinary plane of a finite set of points in real 3-space with no three collinear is a plane intersecting the set in exactly three points. We prove a structure theorem for sets of points spanning few ordinary planes. Our proof relies on…

An equitable coloring of a graph is a proper coloring where the sizes of any two different color classes do not differ by more than one. A graph is IC-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that no two crossed edges have a common…

We prove that for any $K$ and $d$, there exist, for all sufficiently large admissible $v$, a pairwise balanced design PBD$(v,K)$ of dimension $d$ for which all $d$-point-generated flats are bounded by a constant independent of $v$. We also…

Let $T(n,m)$ be the set of all plane labelled bipartite trees with $n$ white vertices and $m$ black. If the number $n+m$ of vertices is even, then the set $T(n,m)$ is a union of two disjoint subsets --- subset od "even" trees and subset of…

Generalizing a theorem of the first two authors and Geelen for planes, we show that, for a real-representable matroid $M$, either the average hyperplane-size in $M$ is at most a constant depending only on its rank, or each hyperplane of $M$…
