In this note we discuss the Stein restriction problem on arbitrary $n$-torus, $n\geq 2$. In contrast with the usual cases of the sphere, the parabola and the cone, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the Lebesgue indices, by…

Given positive integers m,n,s,t, let z(m,n,s,t) be the maximum number of ones in a (0,1) matrix of size m-by-n that does not contain an all ones submatrix of size s-by-t. We find a flexible upper bound on z(m,n,s,t) that implies the known…

We prove that there exists a>0 such that for any integer d>2 and any topological types S_1,...,S_n of plane curve singularities, satisfying $\mu(S_1)+...+\mu(S_n) \leq ad^2$, there exists a reduced irreducible plane curve of degree d with…

We prove that a uniformly chosen proper $3$-coloring of the $d$-dimensional discrete torus has a very rigid structure when the dimension $d$ is sufficiently high. We show that with high probability the coloring takes just one color on…

We show that any n-vertex complete graph with edges colored with three colors contains a set of at most four vertices such that the number of the neighbors of these vertices in one of the colors is at least 2n/3. The previous best value,…

We consider the minimal number of points on a regular grid on the plane that generates $n$ line segments of points of exactly length $k$. We illustrate how this is related to the $n$-queens problem on the toroidal chessboard and show that…

We consider the reconstruction of a function on a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^2$ if the line sums in certain directions are prescribed. The real solutions form a linear manifold, its integer solutions a grid. First we provide an explicit…

The Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem gives a bound on the maximum number of incidences between points and lines on the Euclidean plane. In particular it says that $n$ lines and $n$ points determine $O(n^{4/3})$ incidences. Let us suppose that an…

Let a set of nodes $\mathcal X$ in the plane be $n$-independent, i.e., each node has a fundamental polynomial of degree $n.$ Assume that $\#\mathcal X=d(n,k-3)+3= (n+1)+n+\cdots+(n-k+5)+3$ and $4 \le k\le n-1.$ In this paper we prove that…

We consider packings of congruent circles on a square flat torus, i.e., periodic (w.r.t. a square lattice) planar circle packings, with the maximal circle radius. This problem is interesting due to a practical reason - the problem of "super…

The nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with nonlinearities $|u|^{2k}u$ on the $d$-dimensional torus are considered for arbitrary positive integers $k$ and $d$. The solution of the Cauchy problem is shown to be unique in the class $C_tH^s_x$…

Using discretized orthogonal systems (curvature line systems) with periodicity, created using Darboux transformations and their permutability, we have discrete and semi-discrete k-dimensional isothermic tori which are full in n-dimensional…

We study by numerical methods a particular kind of SU(N) Yang-Mills solutions of the Euclidean equations of motion which appear on the torus when twisted boundary conditions are imposed. These are instanton-like configurations with the…

Let $H$ be an induced subgraph of the torus $C_k^m$. We show that when $k \ge 3$ is even and $|V(H)|$ divides some power of $k$, then for sufficiently large $n$ the torus $C_k^n$ has a perfect vertex-packing with induced copies of $H$. On…

We first review some topics in the classical computational geometry of lines, in particular the O(n^{3+\epsilon}) bounds for the combinatorial complexity of the set of lines in R^3 interacting with $n$ objects of fixed description…

A fast and reliable algorithm for the optimal interpolation of scattered data on the torus by multivariate trigonometric polynomials is presented. The algorithm is based on a variant of the conjugate gradient method in combination with the…

In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then for an admissible $k$-tuple $\mathcal{H}(x) = \{gx + h_j\}_{j=1}^k$ of linear forms in…

Consider a set of $ n $ points on a plane. A line containing exactly $ 3 $ out of the $ n $ points is called a $ 3 $-rich line. The classical orchard problem asks for a configuration of the $ n $ points on the plane that maximizes the…

Computing the complexity of Markov bases is an extremely challenging problem; no formula is known in general and there are very few classes of toric ideals for which the Markov complexity has been computed. A monomial curve $C$ in…

We prove that, for fixed n there exist only finitely many embeddings of Q-factorial toric varieties X into P^n that are induced by a complete linear system. The proof is based on a combinatorial result that for fixed nonnegative integers d…
