Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. In a recent paper, Dubickas and Smyth constructed a metric version of the Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Later, Fili and the…

We construct a separate continuous function $f\colon\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}\to[0,1] $ and a dense subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}$ such that $f[D]$ is not dense in $f[\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}]$, in other words, $f$ is…

In this paper we develop a tool to identify functions which have no iterative roots of any order. Using this, we prove that when $X$ is $[0,1]^m$, $\mathbb{R}^m$ or $S^1$, every non-empty open set of the space $\mathcal{C}(X)$ of continuous…

Floyd gave an example of a minimal dynamical system which was an extension of an odometer and the fibres of the associated factor map were either singletons or intervals. Gjerde and Johansen showed that the odometer could be replaced by any…

In this paper we generalize constructions in two recent works of Ding, Heng, Zhou to any field $\mathbb{F}_q$, $q$ odd, providing infinite families of minimal codes for which the Ashikhmin-Barg bound does not hold.

We define block sequences $(x_n)$ in every block subspace of a variant of the space of Gowers and Maurey so that the map $x_{2n-1}\mapsto x_{2n} $ extends to an isomorphism. This implies the existence of a subsequentially minimal HI space,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a chart, and we denote by $\Gamma_m$ the union of all the edges of label $m$. A chart $\Gamma$ is of type $(m;2,3,2)$ if $w(\Gamma)=7$, $w(\Gamma_m\cap\Gamma_{m+1})=2$, $w(\Gamma_{m+1}\cap\Gamma_{m+2})=3$, and…

We establish that the map $f\mapsto |\nabla \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}f|$ is continuous from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\alpha\in (0,d)$, $q=\frac{d}{d-\alpha}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}$ denotes either the centered…

It is proved that any continuous function f on the unit circle such that the sequence e^{in f}, n=1,2,... has small Wiener norm \| e^{in f} \|_A = o (\frac{\log^{1/22} |n|}{(\log \log |n|)^{3/11}}), is linear. Moreover, we get lower bounds…

A completion of an m-by-n matrix A with entries in {0,1,*} is obtained by setting all *-entries to constants 0 or 1. A system of semi-linear equations over GF(2) has the form Mx=f(x), where M is a completion of A and f:{0,1}^n --> {0,1}^m…

Without compactness assumptions, we prove some abstract results which show that a $C^{1}$ functional $I:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ on a Banach space $X$ admits bounded Palais-Smale sequences provided that it exhibits some geometric structure…

In this paper, we show that for any sequence ${\bf a}=(a_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ such that the entropy $h({\bf…

We present a surprisingly short proof that for any continuous map $f : \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m$, if $n>m$, then there exists no bound on the diameter of fibers of $f$. Moreover, we show that when $m=1$, the union of small…

Answering a question asked by K.C. Ciesielski and T. Glatzer in 2013, we construct a $C^1$-smooth function $f$ on $[0,1]$ and a set $M \subset \operatorname{graph} f$ nowhere dense in $\operatorname{graph} f$ such that there does not exist…

A one-dimensional deformed Heisenberg algebra $[X,P]=if(P)$ is studied. We answer the question: For what function of deformation $f(P)$ there exists a nonzero minimal uncertainty in position (minimal length). We also find an explicit…

This is a continuation of the article with the same title. In this paper, the family H is the same as in the previous paper "On Graphs with the Smallest Eigenvalue at Least $-1-\sqrt{2}$, part I". The main result is that a minimal graph…

The following two assertions are equivalent for an o-minimal expansion of an ordered group $\mathcal M=(M,<,+,0,\ldots)$. There exists a definable bijection between a bounded interval and an unbounded interval. Any definable continuous…

In this short note we prove the following result: If a completely multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[-1,1]$ is small on average in the sense that $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)\ll x^{1-\delta}$, for some $\delta>0$, and if the Dirichlet series…

We prove that every function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ satisfies that the image of the set of critical points at which the function $f$ has Taylor expansions of order $n-1$ and non-empty subdifferentials of order $n$ is a Lebesgue-null…

In this note we prove that on metric measure spaces, functions of least gradient, as well as local minimizers of the area functional (after modification on a set of measure zero) are continuous everywhere outside their jump sets. As a tool,…
