A Hilbert cube of dimension $d$ is the set of integers \[ H(a_{0}; a_{1}, \ldots, a_{d})=a_{0}+\{0, a_{1}\}+\cdots+\{0, a_{d}\}=\left\{a_{0}+\sum_{i=1}^{d}\varepsilon_{i}a_{i}:\;\varepsilon_{i}\in\{0,1\}\right\}. \] Brown, Erd\H{o}s and…

We show that for every integer $k\geq3$, the set of Tur\'an densities of $k$-uniform hypergraphs has an accumulation point in $[0,1)$. In particular, $1/2$ is an accumulation point for the set of Tur\'an densities of $3$-uniform…

Suppose that A is a subset of the integers {1,...,N} of density a. We provide a new proof of a result of Green which shows that A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length exp(ca(log N)^{1/2}) for some absolute c>0. Furthermore we…

Let $F$ and $G$ be linear recurrences over a number field $\mathbb{K}$, and let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a finitely generated subring of $\mathbb{K}$. Furthermore, let $\mathcal{N}$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that $G(n) \neq 0$ and…

We show that if a subset A of {1,...,N} does not contain any solutions to the equation x+y+z=3w with the variables not all equal, then A has size at most exp(-c(log N)^{1/7}) N, where c > 0 is some absolute constant. In view of Behrend's…

A semigroup A is an abelian semigroup with identity 0. A set of positives in A is an ordered down-directed set P containing with every r an element r/2 with r/2 + r/2 = r. A continuity space is an abstract set X equipped with a map d : XxX…

The $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ is a graph with vertex set $\{0,1\}^n$ such that there is an edge between two vertices if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. For any graph $H$, define $\text{ex}(Q_n,H)$ to be the maximum…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…

In this paper, the construction of finite-length binary sequences whose nonlinear complexity is not less than half of the length is investigated. By characterizing the structure of the sequences, an algorithm is proposed to generate all…

Let $A,B$ be nonempty subsets of a an abelian group $G$. Let $N_i(A,B)$ denote the set of elements of $G$ having $i$ distinct decompositions as a product of an element of $A$ and an element of $B$. We prove that $$ \sum _{1\le i \le t} |N_i…

For $A\subseteq \{1, 2, \ldots\}$, we consider $R(A)=\{a/b: a, b\in A\}$. It is an open problem to study the denseness of $R(A)$ in the $p$-adic numbers when $A$ is the set of nonzero values assumed by a cubic form. We study this problem…

A sequence of non-negative integers is called a B_k sequence if all the sums of arbitrary k elements are different. In this paper, we will present a new estimation for the upper bound of B_k sequences.

Suppose $A$ is a subset of $\{1, \dotsc, N\}$ which does not contain any configurations of the form $x,x+\lfloor n^c \rfloor$ where $n \neq 0$ and $1<c<\frac{6}{5}$. We show that the density of $A$ relative to the first $N$ integers is…

We study the expectation of the number of components $b_0(X)$ of a random algebraic hypersurface $X$ defined by the zero set in projective space $\mathbb{R}P^n$ of a random homogeneous polynomial $f$ of degree $d$. Specifically, we consider…

We give a formula for the density of $0$ in the sequence of generalized Motzkin numbers, $M^{a, b}_n$, modulo a prime, $p$, in terms of the first $p$ generalized central trinomial coefficients $T^{a, b}_n\bmod p$ (with $n<p$). We apply our…

Let $K = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. An $n$-element subset $A$ of $K$ is a $B_h$-set if every element of $K$ has at most one representation as the sum of $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. Associated to the $B_h$ set $A =…

We prove that any set $A\subset \mathbb{N}$ of positive upper density contains a finite $S\subset A$ such that $\sum_{n\in S}\frac{1}{n}=1$, answering a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham.

We discuss several questions concerning sum-free sets in groups, raised by Erd\H{o}s in his survey "Extremal problems in number theory" (Proceedings of the Symp. Pure Math. VIII AMS) published in 1965. Among other things, we give a…

A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) set is a set of integers A contained in {0, ..., n-1} whose sumset A+A is larger than its difference set A-A. While it is known that as n tends to infinity a positive percentage of subsets of {0, ...,…

Magyar has shown that if $B \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ has positive upper density $(d \geq 5)$, then the set of squared distances $\{ \|b_1-b_2 \|^2 \text{ }: \text{ } b_1,b_2 \in B \}$ contains an infinitely long arithmetic progression, whose…
