For a sequence $x \in l_1 \setminus c_{00}$, one can consider the set $E(x)$ of all subsums of series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x(n)$. Guthrie and Nymann proved that $E(x)$ is one of the following types of sets: (I) a finite union of closed…

We study properties of the set of subsums for a convergent series $ k_1 \sin x + \dots + k_m \sin x +\dots + k_1\sin x^n +\dots + k_m \sin x^n + \dots $, where $k_1, k_2, k_3,\dots,k_m$ are fixed positive integers and $0<x<1$. Depends on…

In this paper we look at the topological type of algebraic sum of achievement sets. We show that there is a Cantorval such that the algebraic sum of its $k$ copies is still a Cantorval for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$. We also prove that for any…

Given a sequence converging to zero, we consider the set of numbers which are sums of (infinite, finite, or empty) subsequences. When the original sequence is not absolutely summable, the subsum set is an unbounded closed interval which…

Given a nonincreasing sequence of positive numbers $(a_n)$ such that the series $\sum a_n$ is convergent, by $E(a_n)$ we denote the set of all subsums of the series $\sum a_n$ and call it the achievement set of $(a_n)$. It is well known…

We study the topology of all possible subsums of the generalized multigeometric series $k_1f(x)+k_2f(x)+\dots+k_mf(x)+\dots + k_1f(x^n)+\dots+k_mf(x^n)+\dots,$ where $k_1, k_2, \dots, k_m$ are fixed positive real numbers and $f$ runs along…

Let $C(\lambda )\subset \lbrack 0,1]$ denote the central Cantor set generated by a sequence $ \lambda = \left( \lambda_{n} \right) \in \left( 0,\frac{1}{2} \right) ^{\mathbb{N}}$. By the known trichotomy, the difference set $ C(\lambda…

Let C(a) be the central Cantor set generated by a sequence a with terms in (0,1). It is known that the difference set C(a)-C(a) of C(a) can has one of three possible forms: a finite union of closed intervals, a Cantor set, or a Cantorval.…

Considering the sets of subsums of series (or achievement sets) we show that for conditionally convergent series the multidimensional case is much more complicated than that of the real line. Although we are far from the full topological…

An achievement set of a series is a set of all its subsums. We study the properties of achievement sets of conditionally convergent series in finite dimensional spaces. The purpose of the paper is to answer some of the open problems…

We prove that the boundary of every multigeometric Cantorval is a null set, and extend this result to a larger class of standard achievable Cantorvals. In addition, we discuss the sets of uniqueness of achievement sets and show that they…

Basic properties of the center of distances of a set are investigated. Computation of the center for achievement sets is particularly aimed at. A new sufficient condition for the center of distances of the set of subsums of a fast…

A classical result of Kaufman states that, for each $\tau>1,$ the set of well approximable numbers \[ E(\tau)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}: \|qx\| < |q|^{-\tau} \text{ for infinitely many integers q}\} \] is a Salem set with Hausdorff dimension…

For a Cantor set $X$, let $Homeo(X)$ denote the group of all homeomorphisms of $X$. The main result of this note is the following theorem. Let $T\in Homeo(X)$ be an aperiodic homeomorphism, let $\mu_1,\mu_2,...,\mu_k$ be Borel probability…

We show that the closure of the value set of a real linear recurrence sequence is the union of a countable set and a finite collection of intervals. Conversely, any finite collection of closed intervals is the closure of the value set of…

In this article we construct a family of expressions $\varepsilon(n)$. For each element E(n) from $\varepsilon(n)$, the convergence of the series $\sum_{n \ge n_E}{E(n)}$ can be determined in accordance to the theorems of this article. Some…

Let $C$ be the middle-third Cantor set. In this paper, we show that for every $x\in [0,4]$, there exist $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 \in C$ such that $$x= x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2,$$ which answers a question posed by Athreya, Reznick,and Tyson.

We define a family of meta-Fibonacci sequences where the order of the of recursion at stage n is a variable r(n), and the n^{th} term of a sequence is the sum of the previous r(n) terms. For the terms of any such sequence, we give upper and…

Let $\ell_1,\ell_2,\dots$ be a countable collection of lines in ${\mathbb R}^d$. For any $t \in [0,1]$ we construct a compact set $\Gamma\subset{\mathbb R}^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $d-1+t$ which projects injectively into each $\ell_i$,…

We define integer multimodal sequences, which are generalizations of unimodal sequences having multiple local peaks of equal size. The generating functions for multimodal sequences represent novel types of $q$-series that combine generating…
