The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

In this paper, we make progress on a question related to one of Galvin that has attracted substantial attention recently. The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\Delta(G)\leq r$, which has the most…

A conjecture of Berge and Fulkerson (1971) states that every cubic bridgeless graph contains 6 perfect matchings covering each edge precisely twice, which easily implies that every cubic bridgeless graph has three perfect matchings with…

Let $A$ and $B$ be disjoint sets, of size $2^k$, of vertices of $Q_n$, the $n$-dimensional hypercube. In 1997, Bollob\'as and Leader proved that there must be $(n-k)2^k$ edge-disjoint paths between such $A$ and $B$. They conjectured that…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

We construct Hilbert $C^*$-modules useful for studying Gabor systems and show that they are Banach algebras under pointwise multiplication. For rational $ab<1$ we prove that the set of functions $g \in L^2(R)$ so that $(g,a,b)$ is a Bessel…

In this paper, we recast a special case of Mahler'c conjecture by the maximum value of box splines. This is the case of polytopes with at most $2n+2$ facets. An asymptotic formula for univariate box splines is given. Based on the formula,…

A graph is "$H$-free" if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. A conjecture of Conlon, Fox and Sudakov states that for every graph $H$, there exists $s>0$ such that in every $H$-free graph with $n>1$ vertices, either some vertex has…

We formulate a quantitative finite-dimensional conjecture about frame multipliers and prove that it is equivalent to Conjecture 1 in [SB2]. We then present solutions to the conjecture for certain classes of frame multipliers. In particular,…

We investigate subsets with small sumset in arbitrary abelian groups. For an abelian group $G$ and an $n$-element subset $Y \subseteq G$ we show that if $m \ll s^2/(\log n)^2$, then the number of subsets $A \subseteq Y$ with $|A| = s$ and…

We study a problem on edge percolation on product graphs $G\times K_2$. Here $G$ is any finite graph and $K_2$ consists of two vertices $\{0,1\}$ connected by an edge. Every edge in $G\times K_2$ is present with probability $p$ independent…

We find sufficient conditions on a compactly supported function $g$, $\supp g = [a,b]$ which guarantee that the Gabor system $$\mathcal{G}(g;\alpha,\beta)=\{e^{2\pi i \beta m x}g(x-\alpha n)\}_{m,n\in\mathbb{Z}}$$ is a frame for all $\alpha…

Let $X$ be an $n$-element set. A set-pair system $\mbox{$\cal P$}=\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{1\leq i\leq m}$ is a collection of pairs of disjoint subsets of $X$. It is called skew Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq \emptyset$ for all $1\leq i<j \leq…
