We establish central and local limit theorems for the number of vertices in the largest component of a random $d$-uniform hypergraph $\hnp$ with edge probability $p=c/\binnd$, where $(d-1)^{-1}+\eps<c<\infty$. The proof relies on a new,…

Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…

For every positive integer N and every $\alpha\in [0,1)$, let $B(N, \alpha)$ denote the probabilistic model in which a random set $A\subset \{1,\dots,N\}$ is constructed by choosing independently every element of $\{1,\dots,N\}$ with…

Let $d, n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ such that $1\leq d \leq n$. A $d$-code $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{F}_q^{n \times n}$ is a subset of order $n$ square matrices with the property that for all pairs of distinct elements in $\mathcal{C}$, the rank…

Let $A$ be a set of finite integers, define $$A+A \ = \ \{a_1+a_2: a_1,a_2 \in A\}, \ \ \ A-A \ = \ \{a_1-a_2: a_1,a_2 \in A\},$$ and for non-negative integers $s$ and $d$ define $$sA-dA\ =\ \underbrace{A+\cdots+A}_{s}…

A Sidon sequence is a sequence of integers a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < ... with the property that the sums a_i+a_j (i\le j) are distinct. This work contains a survey of Sidon sequences and their generalizations, and an extensive annotated and…

We give explicit constructions of sets S with the property that for each integer k, there are at most g solutions to k=s_1+s_2, s_i\in S; such sets are called Sidon sets if g=2 and generalized Sidon sets if g\ge 3. We extend to generalized…

Subspace codes, especially cyclic constant subspace codes, are of great use in random network coding. Subspace codes can be constructed by subspaces and subspace polynomials. In particular, many researchers are keen to find special…

The correspondence between perfect difference sets and transitive projective planes is well-known. We observe that all known dense (i.e., close to square-root size) Sidon subsets of abelian groups come from projective planes through a…

A point set $P \subset {\Bbb{R}}^d$ is {\it separated} if the minimum distance between any two points in $P$ is at least $1$. For $d \ne 4,5,$ we determine, for every $t_1,t_2 \ge 1$, and for $n$ at least a suitable $n_d$, the maximum…

A more sums than differences (MSTD) set is a finite subset S of the integers such |S+S| > |S-S|. We show that the probability that a uniform random subset of {0, 1, ..., n} is an MSTD set approaches some limit rho > 4.28 x 10^{-4}. This…

We show that for all $d\in \{3,\ldots,n-1\}$ the size of the largest component of a random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices around the percolation threshold $p=1/(d-1)$ is $\Theta(n^{2/3})$, with high probability. This extends known…

Let $\epsilon_1, \dotsc, \epsilon_n$ be i.i.d. Rademacher random variables taking values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$ each. Given an integer vector $\boldsymbol{a} = (a_1, \dotsc, a_n)$, its concentration probability is the quantity…

Given positive integers $k\leq d$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, a set $S\subset\mathbb{F}^{d}$ is $(k,c)$-subspace evasive if every $k$-dimensional affine subspace contains at most $c$ elements of $S$. By a simple averaging argument, the…

We study the entropy of the set traced by an $n$-step random walk on $\Z^d$. We show that for $d \geq 3$, the entropy is of order $n$. For $d = 2$, the entropy is of order $n/\log^2 n$. These values are essentially governed by the size of…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the maximum interpoint distance of random points in a $d$-dimensional set with a unique diameter and a smooth boundary at the poles. Instead of investigating only a fixed number of $n$ points as $n$ tends…

A non-redundant integer cone generator (NICG) of dimension $d$ is a set $S$ of vectors from $\{0,1\}^d$ whose vector sum cannot be generated as a positive integer linear combination of a proper subset of $S$. The largest possible…

We consider a simple model of a growing cluster of points in $\Re^d,d\geq 2$. Beginning with a point $X_1$ located at the origin, we generate a random sequence of points $X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_i,\ldots,$. To generate $X_{i},i\geq 2$ we choose a…

A subset $E$ of a discrete abelian group is called $\epsilon $-Kronecker if all $E$-functions of modulus one can be approximated to within $\epsilon$ by characters. $E$ is called a Sidon set if all bounded $E$-functions can be interpolated…

The combined Universal Probability M(D) of strings x in sets D is close to max M({x}) over x in D: their ~logs differ by at most D's information j=I(D:H) about the halting sequence H. Thus if all x have complexity K(x) >k, D carries >i bits…
