We study cofinal systems of finite subsets of $\omega_1$. We show that while such systems can be NIP, they cannot be defined in an NIP structure. We deduce a positive answer to a question of Chernikov and Simon from 2013: in an NIP theory,…

Let A be a finite subset of the integers or, more generally, of any abelian group, written additively. The set A has "more sums than differences" if |A+A|>|A-A|. A set with this property is called an MSTD set. This paper gives explicit…

We present an elementary proof that if $A$ is a finite set of numbers, and the sumset $A+_GA$ is small, $|A+_GA|\leq c|A|$, along a dense graph $G$, then $A$ contains $k$-term arithmetic progressions.

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, and $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle. In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N(\xi)$ of central Yang- Mills connections, for…

Statistical properties of nonlinear systems revealed in an unexpected way already in Fermi-Pasta-Ulam paper, are responsible for the appearance of substructures. We represent a method within S-tree diagram formalism for investigation of the…

It is known that there is a constant $c > 0$ such that for every sequence $x_1, x_2, \ldots$ in $[0,1)$ we have for the star discrepancy $D_N^*$ of the first $N$ elements of the sequence that $N D_N^* \ge c \cdot \log N$ holds for…

For an infinite set M of natural numbers, let FS(M) be the set of all nonzero finite sums of distinct numbers in M. An IP set is any set of the form FS(M). Let p_n denote the n-th prime number for each $n \ge 1$. A de Polignac number is any…

In this paper we establish connections between covers of $\mathbb Z$ by residue classes and subset sums in a field. Suppose that $A_0=\{a_s(n_s)\}_{s=0}^k$ covers each integer at least $p$ times with the residue class…

Results about the structure of the set of Egyptian fractions on the line are extended to subsets of topological groups.

We perform certain alternating binomial summations with parameters that occur in the analysis of algorithms. A combination of integral and special function and special number representations is used. The results are sufficiently general to…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $S$ be a $p$-group with a unique elementary abelian subgroup $A$ of index $p$. We classify the simple fusion systems over all such groups $S$ in which $A$ is essential. The resulting list, which depends on…

We detect and quantify significant numerical biases in the determination of the slope of power laws with Salpeter (or similar) indices from uniformly-binned data using chi-square minimization. The biases are caused by the correlation…

We prove that for an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$ and any multiplicative subgroup $\Gamma \subseteq \mathbf{F}_p$, $1\ll |\Gamma| \le p^{2/3 -\varepsilon}$ there are no sets $B$, $C \subseteq \mathbf{F}_p$ with $|B|, |C|>1$ such that…

The note is concerned with inductive systems of Toeplitz algebras and their $*$-homomorphisms over arbitrary partially ordered sets. The Toeplitz algebra is the reduced semigroup $C^*$-algebra for the additive semigroup of non-negative…

This paper discusses the generation of multivariate $C^\infty$ functions with compact small supports by subdivision schemes. Following the construction of such a univariate function, called \emph{Up-function}, by a non-stationary scheme…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown remarkable performance in general object recognition tasks. In this paper, we propose a new model called EnsNet which is composed of one base CNN and multiple Fully Connected SubNetworks…

Using the notion of multivariate lower set interpolation, we construct nodal basis functions for the serendipity family of finite elements, of any order and any dimension. For the purpose of computation, we also show how to express these…

We introduce a method for constructing collections of subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, using an iterated function system, a set $T,$ and a cost function. We refer to these collections as tilings. The special case where $T$ is the central open…

Let $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}$. Define $$A\cdot B=\{x\cdot y:x\in A, y\in B\}.$$ In this paper, we consider the following class of self-similar sets with overlaps. Let $K$ be the attractor of the IFS $\{f_1(x)=\lambda x, f_2(x)=\lambda…
