It is well known that the Taylor series expansion of $(1+ z)^{A}$ does not converge for $|z|>1$ where A is a real number which is not equal to zero or a positive integer. A limited series expansion of this expression is obtained in this…

In this note besides two abstract versions of the Vitali Covering Lemma an abstract Hardy-Littlewood Maximal Inequality, generalizing weak type (1,1) maximal function inequality, associated to any outer measure and a family of subsets on a…

This study delves into equilibrium problems, focusing on the identification of finite solutions for feasible solution sequences. We introduce an innovative extension of the weak sharp minimum concept from convex programming to equilibrium…

Let $A\subset [1,x]$ be a non-empty set of primes with $|A|= \alpha x(\log x)^{-1}$. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c_1,c_2>0$ such that, as $x$ gets sufficiently large, we have $|A+A|\geq c_1(\log x)(\log \log…

In the present paper, it is proved that all solutions are bounded for the reversible system \ddot{x}+\sum_{i=0}^{l}b_{i}(t)x^{2i+1}\dot{x}+x^{2n+1}+\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}a_{i}(t)x^{2i+1}=0, 0\leq l\leq…

This paper deals with the resolutions of fuzzy relation equations with addition-min composition. When the fuzzy relation equations have a solution, we first propose an algorithm to find all minimal solutions of the fuzzy relation equations…

We study the structure of the zero set of a finite point charge electrical field $F = (X,Y,Z)$ in $\mathbb R^3$. Indeed, mostly we focus on a finite point charge electrical field $F =(X,Y)$ in $\mathbb R^2$. The well-known conjecture is…

An old problem of Moser asks: how large of a union-free subfamily does every family of m sets have? A family of sets is called union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to…

We improve the upper bound on the Ramsey number R(3,10) from 42 to 41. Hence R(3,10) is equal to 40 or 41.

Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $q$ and $L(z,\chi)$ the associated L-series. In this paper we provide an explicit upper bound for $|L(1, \chi)|$ when 3 divides $q$.

In this paper we rectify two previous results found in the literature. Our work leads to a new upper bound for the largest sum-free subset of $[1,n]$ with lowest value in $\left [\frac{n}{3},\frac{n}{2}\right ]$, and the identification of…

The lambda-dilate of a set A is lambda*A={lambda a : a \in A}. We give an asymptotically sharp lower bound on the size of sumsets of the form lambda_1*A+...+lambda_k*A for arbitrary integers lambda_1,...,lambda_k and integer sets A. We also…

We show that if $A$ and $B$ are finite sets of real numbers, then the number of triples $(a,b,c)\in A\times B\times (A\cup B)$ with $a+b=2c$ is at most $(0.15+o(1))(|A|+|B|)^2$ as $|A|+|B|\to\infty$. As a corollary, if $A$ is antisymmetric…

Let Y be a surface with only finitely many singularities all of which are cusps. A set of cusps on Y is called three-divisible, if there is a cyclic global triple cover of Y branched precisely over these cusps. The aim of this note is to…

We prove the following conjecture of Shkredov and Solymosi: every subset $A \subset \mathbf{Z}^2$ such that $\sum_{a\in A\setminus\{0\}} 1/\left\|a\right\|^{2} = +\infty$ contains the three vertices of an isosceles right triangle. To do…

Merging together a result of Nathanson from the early 70s and a recent result of Granville and Walker, we show that for any finite set $A$ of integers with $\min(A)=0$ and $\gcd(A)=1$ there exist two sets, the "head" and the "tail", such…

In this paper we prove new bounds for sums of convex or concave functions. Specifically, we prove that for all $A,B \subseteq \mathbb R$ finite sets, and for all $f,g$ convex or concave functions, we have $$|A + B|^{38}|f(A) + g(B)|^{38}…

We study the problems of bounding the number weak and strong independent sets in $r$-uniform, $d$-regular, $n$-vertex linear hypergraphs with no cross-edges. In the case of weak independent sets, we provide an upper bound that is tight up…

In this work, we determine a sharp upper bound on the orthogonality defect of HKZ reduced bases up to dimension $3$. Using this result, we determine a general upper bound for the orthogonality defect of HKZ reduced bases of arbitrary rank.…

The problem of looking for subsets of the natural numbers which contain no 3-term arithmetic progressions has a rich history. Roth's theorem famously shows that any such subset cannot have positive upper density. In contrast, Rankin in 1960…
