It is known that complete graphs and complete multipartite graphs have modularity zero. We show that the least number of edges we may delete from the complete graph $K_n$ to obtain a graph with non-zero modularity is $\lfloor n/2\rfloor…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring and $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra. Given a positive integer $m$, or $m=\infty$, we say that a $k$-linear derivation $\delta$ of $A$ is $m$-integrable if it extends up to a Hasse--Schmidt derivation…

Let $K$ be a global function field together with a place $\infty$, and $A$ the subring of functions regular outside $\infty$. In this paper we present an effective method to evaluate the (locally free) class number of an arbitrary…

Let $r_k(n)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,2, \dots, n \}$ such that $A$ does not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give a method of constructing such a set and prove the lower bound…

In this paper, we establish some criteria to detect the presence of the maximal ideal $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ in the set of associated primes of powers of monomial ideals in the polynomial ring $K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. Furthermore, for each of…

Maximizing submodular functions has been increasingly used in many applications of machine learning, such as data summarization, recommendation systems, and feature selection. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in both submodular…

Let $G$ be the adjoint group of a real simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_0$ equal either $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{u}(n,1)$ or $\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{o}(n,1),$ $K$ its maximal compact subgroup, ${\cal U}(\mathfrak{g})$ the universal enveloping…

Maximizing monotone submodular functions under cardinality constraints is a classic optimization task with several applications in data mining and machine learning. In this paper we study this problem in a dynamic environment with…

For all $n > k \ge 1$, we give formulas for the nullity $N(n,k)$ of the $n \times n$ skew-symmetric Toeplitz band matrix whose first $k$ superdiagonals have all entries $1$ and whose remaining superdiagonals have all entries $0$. This is…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Let $\mathfrak{B}$ be a primitive collection of ideals in $\mathcal{O}_K$. We show that any $\mathfrak{B}$-free system is essentially minimal.…

In this paper, we propose a novel framework that converts streaming algorithms for monotone submodular maximization into streaming algorithms for non-monotone submodular maximization. This reduction readily leads to the currently tightest…

Let $K$ denote prefix-free Kolmogorov Complexity, and $K^A$ denote it relative to an oracle $A$. We show that for any $n$, $K^{\emptyset^{(n)}}$ is definable purely in terms of the unrelativized notion $K$. It was already known that…

A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…

For positive integers $n\geq k\geq t$, a collection $ \mathcal{B} $ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set $ X $ is called a $t$-packing if every $t$-subset of $ X $ appears in at most one set in $\mathcal{B}$. In this paper, we give some upper and…

The N cardinality k ideals of any w-element poset (w, k variable) can be enumerated in time O(Nw^3). The corresponding bound for k-element subtrees of a w-element tree is O(Nw^5). An algorithm is described that by the use of wildcards…

In 1992, following earlier conjectures of Lichtman and Makar-Limanov, Klein conjectured that a noncommutative domain must contain a free, multiplicative, noncyclic subsemigroup. He verified the conjecture when the center is uncountable. In…

We consider the classical problem of determining the largest possible cardinality of a minimal presentation of a numerical monoid with given embedding dimension and multiplicity. Very few values of this cardinality are known. In addressing…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A= K[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables, and let $W_n(K)$ be the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations of $A.$ This Lie algebra also is the free $A$-module…

An old problem of Moser asks: how large of a union-free subfamily does every family of m sets have? A family of sets is called union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to…

Given a natural number $k\ge 2$, we consider the $k$-submodular cover problem ($k$-SC). The objective is to find a minimum cost subset of a ground set $\mathcal{X}$ subject to the value of a $k$-submodular utility function being at least a…
