We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…
Bounds are proved for the connective constant \mu\ of an infinite, connected, \Delta-regular graph G. The main result is that \mu\ \ge \sqrt{\Delta-1} if G is vertex-transitive and simple. This inequality is proved subject to weaker…
We show that a problem by Yau can not be true in general. The counterexamples are constructed based on the recent work of Wu and Zheng.
We prove a $C^m$ Lusin approximation theorem for horizontal curves in the Heisenberg group. This states that every absolutely continuous horizontal curve whose horizontal velocity is $m-1$ times $L^1$ differentiable almost everywhere…
We prove that there are no semi-finite generalized hexagons with $q + 1$ points on each line containing the known generalized hexagons of order $q$ as full subgeometries when $q$ is equal to $3$ or $4$, thus contributing to the existence…
In this paper, we introduce an extension of rectangular metric spaces called controlled rectangular metric spaces, by changing the rectangular inequality as follows: \begin{equation*} d(x, y)\leq\alpha(x, u)d(x, u)+\alpha(u, v)d(u,…
There exists "a square problem": in a unit square is there a point with four rational distances to the vertices? This problem is still regarded as unproved. Yang showed proofs for several special cases of the square problem. By the…
In their solution to the orchard-planting problem, Green and Tao established a structure theorem which proves that in a line arrangement in the real projective plane with few double points, most lines are tangent to the dual curve of a…
Motivated by a hat guessing problem proposed by Iwasawa \cite{Iwasawa10}, Butler and Graham \cite{Butler11} made the following conjecture on the existence of certain way of marking the {\em coordinate lines} in $[k]^n$: there exists a way…
In this paper we combine topological and functional analysis methods to prove that a non-locally trivial quasi-linear map defined on a $C(K)$ must be nontrivial on a subspace isomorphic to $c_0$. We conclude the paper with a few examples…
We prove a new fixed - point result for the image Im(j) of any continuous function j from K to (K x K), where K is a compact convex subset of a Hausdorff locally convex space, provided that the projection of Im(j) to the first factor is…
For each integer $k \in [0,9]$, we count the number of plane cubic curves defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ that do not share a common component and intersect in exactly $k\ \mathbb{F}_q$-rational points. We set this up as a…
We study critical points of holomorphic sections of $\ocal(m)$ on $\CP^n$. For quadrics, we give a complete discription of their critical points. When $n=1$, we prove a spherical Gauss-Lucas theorem. For general situation, we prove that a…
In the present work we shall show that nonlinear contractive conditions on TVS-cone metric spaces can be reduced to nonlinear contractive conditions on usual metric spaces. Our results extend the results of Du (2010) [W.S. Du, A note on…
We introduce a new type of mappings in metric spaces which are three-point analogue of the well-known Kannan type mappings and call them generalized Kannan type mappings. It is shown that in general case such mappings are discontinuous but…
The line generated by two distinct points, $x$ and $y$, in a finite metric space $M=(V,d)$, denoted by $\overline{xy}^M$, is the set of points given by $$\overline{xy}^M:=\{z\in V: d(x,y)=|d(x,z)\pm d(z,y)|\}.$$ A 2-set $\{x,y\}$ such that…
Let C in C_1xC_2 be a curve of type (d_1,d_2) in the product of the two curves C_1 and C_2. Let d be a positive integer. We prove that if a certain inequality involving d_1, d_2, d, and the genera of the curves C_1, C_2, and C is satisfied,…
We give some methods for computing equations for certain Shimura curves, natural maps between them, and special points on them. We then illustrate these methods by working out several examples in varying degrees of detail. For instance, we…
This study first defines a new metric with normal structure on C(H,K) and then a new technique to prove fixed point theorems for families of non-expansive maps on this metric space. Indeed, it shows that the presence of a bounded orbit…
In this paper, we study the problem of finding the largest possible set of s points and s lines in a projective plane of order q, such that that none of the s points lie on any of the s lines. We prove that s <= 1+(q+1)(\sqrt{q}-1). We also…
