We investigate paths in Bernoulli's triangles, and derive several relations linking the partial sums of binomial coefficients to the Fibonacci numbers.

To determine the relative position of any two surfaces in a system, one approach is to useoperations (Minkowski sum and intersection) on sets of constraints. These constraints aremade compliant with half-spaces of R^n where each set of…

Plonka sums consist of an algebraic construction similar, in some sense to direct limits, which allows to represent classes of algebras defined by means of regular identities (namely those equations where the same set of variables appears…

A systematic study of the trigonometric equation A tan a + B sin b = C, where A, B and C^2 are rational numbers. The special case tan Pi/11 + 4 sin 3 Pi/11 = sqrt[11] appears in the classical literature.

We derive and prove an explicit formula for the sum of the fractional parts of certain geometric series. Although the proof is straightforward, we have been unable to locate any reference to this result. This summation formula allows us to…

It is significant to study congruences involving multiple harmonic sums. Let $p$ be an odd prime, in recent years, the following curious congruence $$\sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p \\ i, j, k>0}} \frac{1}{i j k} \equiv-2 B_{p-3}\pmod p$$ has been…

In this paper we give one extension of Barrow's type inequality in the plane of the triangle ABC introduce signed angle bisectors.

In this paper, we prove a trace inequality $\text{Tr}[ f(A) A^s B^s ] \leq \text{Tr}[ f(A) (A^{1/2} B A^{1/2} )^s ]$ for any positive and monotone increasing function $f$, $s\in[0,1]$, and positive semi-definite matrices $A$ and $B$. On the…

In this paper we consider the following conjecture, proposed by Brian Alspach, concerning partial sums in finite cyclic groups: given a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}_n\setminus \{0\}$ of size $k$ such that $\sum_{z\in A} z\not= 0$, it is…

We consider the problem of finding an inductive construction, based on vertex splitting, of triangulated spheres with a fixed number of additional edges (braces). We show that for any positive integer $b$ there is such an inductive…

Let $A$ be a nonempty finite set of $k$ integers. Given a subset $B$ of $A$, the sum of all elements of $B$, denoted by $s(B)$, is called the subset sum of $B$. For a nonnegative integer $\alpha$ ($\leq k$), let \[\Sigma_{\alpha}…

In this note, we study B{\'e}zout type inequalities for mixed volume and Minkowski sum of convex bodies in R n. We first give a new proof and we extend inequalities of Jian Xiao on mixed discriminants. Then, we use mass transport method to…

We study whether sufficiently large integers can be written in the form cp+T_x, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and T_x=x(x+1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate whether there are infinitely many positive…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…

This paper considers some different measures for how additively structured a convex set can be. The main result gives a construction of a convex set $A$ containing $\Omega(|A|^{3/2})$ three-term arithmetic progressions.

We generalize the joints problem to sets of varieties and prove almost sharp bound on the number of joints. As a special case, given a set of $N$ $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^6$, the number of points at which three $2$-planes intersect and…

A pair of subsets of Euclidean space which nearly achieves equality in the Brunn-Minkowski inequality must nearly coincide with a pair of homothetic convex sets. The two-dimensional case was treated in a previous paper in this series by an…

P. Arnoux and A. Marin showed that any triangulation of $\mathbb{RP}^n$ contains more than $\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$ vertices if $n \geq 3$. We construct some natural triangulation of $\mathbb{RP}^n$ with $\frac{n(n+5)}{2}-1$ vertices for all…

Let $f(a,b,c,d)=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}+\sqrt{c^2+d^2}-\sqrt{(a+c)^2+(b+d)^2}$, let $(a,b,c,d)$ stand for $a,b,c,d\in\mathbb Z_{\geq 0}$ such that $ad-bc=1$. Define \begin{equation} \label{eq_main} F(s) = \sum_{(a,b,c,d)} f(a,b,c,d)^s.…
