Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\alpha\in (1-1/d,1]$ a real number. There exists a real number $\beta(\alpha )>0$ such that if there are $\alpha {n\choose 2}$ intersecting pairs in…

We present a different proof of the following identity due to Munarini, which generalizes a curious binomial identity of Simons. \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{\alpha}{n-k}\binom{\beta+k}{k}x^k…

We give the first nonconstant lower bounds for the approximability of the Independent Set Problem on the Power Law Graphs. These bounds are of the form $n^{\epsilon}$ in the case when the power law exponent satisfies $\beta <1$. In the case…

We derive the asymptotic distribution of the total length $L_n$ of a $\operatorname {Beta}(2-\alpha,\alpha)$-coalescent tree for $1<\alpha<2$, starting from $n$ individuals. There are two regimes: If $\alpha\le1/2(1+\sqrt{5})$, then $L_n$…

Let $ X_{\beta}$ be a sofic $ \beta $-shift for $ \beta \in (1, 2] $. We show that there is an $ S $-gap shift $ X(S) $ such that $ X_{\beta} $ and $ X(S) $ are right-resolving almost conjugate. Conversely, a condition on $ S \subseteq…

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ belong to the same quadratic field. We show that the inhomogeneous Beatty sequence $(\lfloor n \alpha + \beta \rfloor)_{n \geq 1}$ is synchronized, in the sense that there is a finite automaton that takes as input…

Let $\beta$ be any permutation on $n$ symbols and let $c(k, \beta)$ be the number of permutations that $k$-commute with $\beta$. The cycle type of a permutation $\beta$ is a vector $(c_1, \dots, c_n)$ such that $\beta$ has exactly $c_i$…

For $\beta > 1$ a real algebraic integer ({\it the base}), the finite alphabets $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{Z}$ which realize the identity $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) = {\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$, where ${\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$ is the…

We study the signed Bernoulli convolution $$\nu_\beta^{(n)}=*_{j=1}^n \left (\frac12\delta_{\beta^{-j}}-\frac12\delta_{-\beta^{-j}}\right ),\ n\ge 1$$ where $\beta>1$ satisfies $$\beta^m=\beta^{m-1}+\cdots+\beta+1$$ for some integer $m\ge…

Let \(C(x)\), \(A(x)\), and \(N(x)\) denote the counting functions of cyclic, abelian, and nilpotent numbers not exceeding \(x\), respectively. Their asymptotic formulas have been established in recent work by Pollack and Just. In this…

In this paper, we study representations of real numbers in the positional numeration system with negative basis, as introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. We focus on the set $\Z_{-\beta}$ of numbers whose representation uses only non-negative…

For any $\varepsilon >0$, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions $n \le x$ to $$ \lVert \alpha n + \beta \rVert < x^{-\frac{1}{4}+\varepsilon} $$ where $n$ is $[y,z]$-smooth for infinitely many real number $x$. In…

We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…

Let Sym_n denote the symmetric group of all permutations pi = a_1...a_n of {1,...,n}. An index i is a peak of pi if a_{i-1} < a_i > a_{i+1} and we let P(pi) be the set of peaks of pi. Given any set S of positive integers we define P(S;n) to…

If we want to color $1,2,\ldots,n$ with the property that all 3-term arithmetic progressions are rainbow (that is, their elements receive 3 distinct colors), then, obviously, we need to use at least $n/2$ colors. Surprisingly, much fewer…

The solution form of the system of nonlinear difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1} = \frac{x_{n-k+1}^{p}y_{n}}{a y_{n-k}^{p}+b y_{n}},\ y_{n+1} = \frac{y_{n-k+1}^{p}x_{n}}{\alpha x_{n-k}^{p}+\beta x_{n}}, \quad n, p \in…

We study the asymptotic behavior of a family of functionals which penalize a short-range interaction of convolution type between a finite perimeter set and its complement. We first compute the pointwise limit and we obtain a lower estimate…

A first characterization of the isomorphism classes of $k$-involutions for any reductive algebraic group defined over a perfect field was given in \cite{Helm2000} using $3$ invariants. In \cite{HWD04,Helm-Wu2002} a full classification of…

This is an exposition in order to give an explicit way to understand (1) a non-topological proof for an existence of a base of an affine root system, (2) a Serre-type definition of an elliptic Lie algebra with rank =>2, and (3) the…
