A set A of positive integers is called a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has an unique representation as the difference of two elements of A. We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence…

Let $r_k(n)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,2, \dots, n \}$ such that $A$ does not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give a method of constructing such a set and prove the lower bound…

We prove that every infinite, discrete abelian group admits a pair of $I_0$ sets whose union is not $I_0$. In particular, this implies that every such group contains a Sidon set that is not $I_{0}$.

The sandglass conjecture, posed by Simonyi, states that if a pair $(A, B)$ of families of subsets of $[n]$ is recovering then $|A| |B| \leq 2^n$. We improve the best known upper bound to $|A| |B| \leq 2.2543^n$. To do this we overcome a…

A proof that the set of real numbers is denumerable is given.

Consider $S$, a set of $n$ points chosen uniformly at random and independently from the unit hypercube of dimension $t>2$. Order $S$ by using the Cartesian product of the $t$ standard orders of $[0,1]$. We determine a constant $\bar x(t)<e$…

We prove an analogue of the classical Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem for intersecting sets of permutations in finite 2-transitive groups. Given a finite group G acting faithfully and 2-transitively on the set X, we show that an intersecting set…

We give a construction of a set $A \subset \mathbb N$ such that any subset $A' \subset A$ with $|A'| \gg |A|^{2/3}$ is neither an additive nor multiplicative Sidon set. In doing so, we refute a conjecture of Klurman and Pohoata.

For a point set of $n$ elements in the $d$-dimensional unit cube and a class of test sets we are interested in the largest volume of a test set which does not contain any point. For all natural numbers $n$, $d$ and under the assumption of a…

In this article we prove a conjecture formulated by A.B. Soerensen in 1991 on the maximal number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$-rational points on the intersection of a non-degenerate Hermitian surface and a surface of degree $d \le q.$

We show that, for $pn \to \infty$, the largest set in a $p$-random sub-family of the power set of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ containing no $k$-chain has size $( k - 1 + o(1) ) p \binom{n}{n/2}$ with high probability. This confirms a conjecture of…

In this paper, we study the pure $\kappa-$sparse gapsets and our focus on getting information about the sequence observed in Table 3 at [1], this sequence is listed in OEIS as A374773. We verify that the cardinality of the set of gapsets…

We compute for reflection groups of type $A,B,D,F_4,H_3$ and for dihedral groups a statistic counting the maximal cardinality of a set of elements in the group whose generalized inversions yield the full set of inversions and which are…

We show that a point set of cardinality $n$ in the plane cannot be the vertex set of more than $59^n O(n^{-6})$ straight-edge triangulations of its convex hull. This improves the previous upper bound of $276.75^n$.

Ellenberg and Gijswijt gave the best known asymptotic upper bound for the cardinality of subsets of $\mathbb F_q^n$ without 3-term arithmetic progressions. We improve this bound by a factor $\sqrt{n}$. In the case $q=3$, we also obtain more…

Let A_1,...,A_n be finite subsets of a field F, and let f(x_1,...,x_n)=x_1^k+...+x_n^k+g(x_1,...,x_n)\in F[x_1,...,x_n] with deg g<k. We obtain a lower bound for the cardinality of {f(x_1,...,x_n): x_1\in A_1,...,x_n\in A_n, and x_i\not=x_j…

A critical set in an n x n array is a set C of given entries, such that there exists a unique extension of C to an n x n Latin square and no proper subset of C has this property. The cardinality of the largest critical set in any Latin…

Let $K_n$ denote Ganyushkin-Kudryavtseva-Mazorchuk's generalization of Kiselman's semigroups. We show that the sequence $2^{-n/2}\cdot \log|K_n|$ admits finite limits as $n$ grows to infinity both on odd and even values.

In this paper we introduce a new sequence of quantities for random polytopes. Let $K_N=\conv\{X_1,...,X_N\}$ be a random polytope generated by independent random vectors uniformly distributed in an isotropic convex body $K$ of $\R^n$. We…

A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is a Sidon set if all pairwise sums $s_1+s_2$ (for $s_1, s_2\in S$, $s_1\leq s_2$) are distinct. A set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ is an asymptotic basis of order 3 if every sufficiently large integer $n$ can be…
