Let $f$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with Laplace eigenvalue $\lambda_f(\Delta)=1/4+\mu^2$ and let $\lambda_f(n)$ be its $n$-th normalized Fourier coefficient. It is proved that, uniformly in $\alpha, \beta \in…

The equidistribution of the double sign patterns of the Liouville function $\lambda$ is proved unconditionally. As application, it is shown that the computable real number $$\sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1+\lambda(n)}{2^{n}}$$ is a simply normal…

Let ${\Bbb F}_2$ be the finite field of two elements, ${\Bbb F}_2^n$ be the vector space of dimension $n$ over ${\Bbb F}_2$. For sets $A,\,B\subseteq{\Bbb F}_2^n$, their sumset is defined as the set of all pairwise sums $a+b$ with $a\in…

Let A be a finite set of integers. For a polynomial f(x_1,...,x_n) with integer coefficients, let f(A) = {f(a_1,...,a_n) : a_1,...,a_n \in A}. In this paper it is proved that for every pair of normalized binary linear forms f(x,y)=u_1x+v_1y…

Our starting point is an improved version of a result of D. Hajela related to a question of Koml\'{o}s: we show that if $f(n)$ is a function such that $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty }f(n)=\infty $ and $f(n)=o(n)$, there exists $n_0=n_0(f)$ such…

A classical theorem of Wonenburger, Djokovic, Hoffmann and Paige states that an element of the general linear group of a finite-dimensional vector space is the product of two involutions if and only if it is similar to its inverse. We give…

In this paper we will give a unified proof of several results on the sovability of systems of certain equations over finite fields, which were recently obtained by Fourier analytic methods. Roughly speaking, we show that almost all systems…

In this article we present a class of formulas Fn, n in Nat, that need at least 2^n assumptions to be proved in a normal proof in Natural Deduction for purely implicational minimal propositional logic. In purely implicational classical…

It is known that the Fano network has a vector linear solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field is $2$; and the non-Fano network has a vector linear solution if and only if the characteristic of the finite field is not…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

Given positive integers $q,n,m$ and $a\in\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $q$ is an odd prime power and $n\geq 5$, we investigate the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\epsilon,f(\epsilon))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ such…

Let $\alpha(n)$ be the least number $k$ for which there exists a simple graph with $k$ vertices having precisely $n \geq 3$ spanning trees. Similarly, define $\beta(n)$ as the least number $k$ for which there exists a simple graph with $k$…

A $n\times n$ matrix $A$ has normal defect one if it is not normal, however can be embedded as a north-western block into a normal matrix of size $(n+1)\times (n+1)$. The latter is called a minimal normal completion of $A$. A construction…

We consider a homogeneous system of linear equations of the form $A_\alpha^{\otimes N} {\bf x} = 0$ arising from the distinguishability of two quantum operations by $N$ uses in parallel, where the coefficient matrix $A_\alpha$ depends on a…

Let $R$ denote a 2-fir. The notions of F-independence and algebraic subsets of R are defined. The decomposition of an algebraic subset into similarity classes gives a simple way of translating the F-independence in terms of dimension of…
