We prove that the consistently oriented double ray is ubiquitous if and only if it is ubiquitous restricted to the class of one-ended digraphs. Additionally, we prove the same equivalence for the disjoint union of a consistently forward and…

In their papers, Leonetti, Russo, Somaglia, Menet and Papathanasiou posed the question of whether there exists an infinite dimensional vector space of sequences in $\ell_\infty$ having (except for the zero sequence) an even amount of…

We give multiple proofs of two formulas concerning the enumeration of permutations avoiding a monotone consecutive pattern with a certain value for the inverse peak number or inverse left peak number statistic. The enumeration in both cases…

We collect problems on recurrence for measure preserving and topological actions of a countable abelian group, considering combinatorial versions of these problems as well. We solve one of these problems by constructing, in…

We prove that the number of permutations avoiding an arbitrary consecutive pattern of length m is asymptotically largest when the avoided pattern is 12...m, and smallest when the avoided pattern is 12...(m-2)m(m-1). This settles a…

In this paper we show that Z_8 does not admit a natural duality. In fact, we show that 2Z_8 = {2, 4, 6, 8 | +,.} is not dualizable, and this will imply that the original ring is not dualizable, either. As a corollary we show that Sindi's…

This paper gives lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of codes over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2}$ with respect to Lee distance. We also determine the covering radius of various Repetition codes over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^2}.$

For any positive integer $m$, let $\mathbb{Z}_{m}$ be the set of residue classes modulo $m$. For $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{m}$ and $\overline{n}\in \mathbb{Z}_{m}$, let $R_{A}(\overline{n})$ denote the number of solutions of…

In this paper we establish connections between covers of $\mathbb Z$ by residue classes and subset sums in a field. Suppose that $A_0=\{a_s(n_s)\}_{s=0}^k$ covers each integer at least $p$ times with the residue class…

A Ramsey-like theorem is a statement of the form ``For every 2-coloring of $[\mathbb{N}]^2$, there exists an infinite set~$H \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $[H]^2$ avoids some pattern''. We prove that none of these statements are…

We present a general analysis of the bifurcation sequences of 2:2 resonant reversible Hamiltonian systems invariant under spatial $\Z_2\times\Z_2$ symmetry. The rich structure of these systems is investigated by a singularity theory…

We construct an intriguing bijection between $021$-avoiding inversion sequences and $(2413,4213)$-avoiding permutations, which proves a sextuple equidistribution involving double Eulerian statistics. Two interesting applications of this…

We investigate the structure of finite sets $A \subseteq \Z$ where $|A+A|$ is large. We present a combinatorial construction that serves as a counterexample to natural conjectures in the pursuit of an "anti-Freiman" theory in additive…

We prove that the problem of deciding whether a given morphic sequence is uniformly recurrent is decidable. The proof uses decidability of HD0L periodicity problem, which was recently proved in papers of F.Durand and I.Mitrofanov.

In 1994, Martin Gardner stated a set of questions concerning the dissection of a square or an equilateral triangle in three similar parts. Meanwhile, Gardner's questions have been generalized and some of them are already solved. In the…

We prove the following results regarding the linear solvability of networks over various alphabets. For any network, the following are equivalent: (i) vector linear solvability over some finite field, (ii) scalar linear solvability over…

A $2$-uniform tolerance on a lattice is a compatible tolerance relation such that all of its blocks are 2-element. We characterize permuting pairs of 2-uniform tolerances on lattices of finite length. In particular, any two 2-uniform…

The permanent versus determinant conjecture is a major problem in complexity theory that is equivalent to the separation of the complexity classes VP_{ws} and VNP. Mulmuley and Sohoni (SIAM J. Comput., 2001) suggested to study a…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…

The objective of the present paper is to prove cluster multiplication theorem in the quantum cluster algebra of type $A_{2}^{(2)}$. As corollaries, we obtain bar-invariant $\mathbb{Z}[q^{\pm\frac{1}{2}}]$-bases established in [6], and…
