We study the richness of the ensemble of graphical structures (i.e., unlabeled graphs) of the one-dimensional random geometric graph model defined by $n$ nodes randomly scattered in $[0,1]$ that connect if they are within the connection…

Let s and k be integers with s \geq 2 and k \geq 2. Let g_k^{(s)}(n) denote the cardinality of the largest subset of the set {1,2,..., n} that contains no geometric progression of length k whose common ratio is a power of s. Let r_k(\ell)…

Let S=(s_1,s_2,..., s_m) and T = (t_1,t_2,..., t_n) be vectors of non-negative integers with sum_{i=1}^{m} s_i = sum_{j=1}^n t_j. Let B(S,T) be the number of m*n matrices over {0,1} with j-th row sum equal to s_j for 1 <= j <= m and k-th…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of primes and $\mathbb{N}$ the set of positive integers. Let also $r_1,...,r_t$ be positive real numbers and $R_2(r_1,...,r_t)$ the set of odd integers which can be represented as $$ p+2^{\lfloor…

In this paper, we study the additive complexity $\rho^{+}_{\mathbf{t}}(n)$ of a Thue-Morse like sequence $\mathbf{t}=\sigma^{\infty}(0)$ with the morphism $\sigma: 0\to 01, 1\to 12, 2\to 20$. We show that…

We study multidimensional configurations (infinite words) and subshifts of low pattern complexity using tools of algebraic geometry. We express the configuration as a multivariate formal power series over integers and investigate the setup…

A geometric progression of length $k$ and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form $\{a,ar,\dots,ar^{k-1}\}$ for some positive real number $a$ and integer $r\geq 2$. For each integer $k \geq 3$, a greedy algorithm is used to construct…

Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that for each $k \in S$ the set $(S - k) \cap \mathbb{N} \setminus S$ has asymptotic density $0$. We prove that there exists a basic sequence $Q$ where the set of numbers $Q$-normal of all…

We consider the nonlinear system $c_1p_1^d +c_2p_2^d + \dots + c_s p_s^d = 0$ with $c_1, c_2,\dots, c_s\in\mathbb Z$ being nonzero and satisfying $c_1 +c_2 + \dots + c_s = 0$. We show that for $s\ge 2\lfloor \frac{d^2}2\rfloor+1$ and…

A famous theorem of Szemer\'edi asserts that given any density $0 < \delta \leq 1$ and any integer $k \geq 3$, any set of integers with density $\delta$ will contain infinitely many proper arithmetic progressions of length $k$. For general…

If A is a set of nonnegative integers containing 0, then there is a unique nonempty set B of nonnegative integers such that every positive integer can be written in the form a+b, where a\in A and b\in B, in an even number of ways. We…

In this paper we give a very elementary proof that if A and B are subsets of {1,2,...,N}, each having at least 5N^{1 - (4(k-1))^{-1}} elements, then the sumset A+B has a k-term arithmetic progression.

We give a self-contained exposition of the recent remarkable result of Kelley and Meka: if $A\subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\}$ has no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then $\lvert A\rvert \leq \exp(-c(\log N)^{1/12})N$ for some…

Let $\alpha_1, \cdots, \alpha_d$ be real numbers, and let $S$ be the set of integers $s$ so that $||\alpha_i s||_{\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}}>\delta$ for some $i$ and some fixed $\delta>0$. We prove $S$ is not \enquote{$2$-large}, i.e. there is…

The sparsity order of a (simple undirected) graph is the highest possible rank (over ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$) of the extremal elements in the matrix cone that consists of positive semidefinite matrices with prescribed zeros on the…

The linear complexity of a sequence $s$ is one of the measures of its predictability. It represents the smallest degree of a linear recursion which the sequence satisfies. There are several algorithms to find the linear complexity of a…

Let $s(n)$ denote the number of ones in the binary expansion of the nonnegative integer $n$. How does $s$ behave under addition of a constant $t$? In order to study the differences \[s(n+t)-s(n),\] for all $n\ge0$, we consider the…

Consider the number of permutations in the symmetric group on n letters that contain c copies of a given pattern. As c varies (with n held fixed) these numbers form a sequence whose properties we study for the monotone patterns and the…

We provide a multidimensional extension of previous results on the existence of polynomial progressions in dense subsets of the primes. Let $A$ be a subset of the prime lattice - the d-fold direct product of the primes - of positive…
