Rice's Theorem states that every nontrivial language property of the recursively enumerable sets is undecidable. Borchert and Stephan initiated the search for complexity-theoretic analogs of Rice's Theorem. In particular, they proved that…

We investigate higher dimensional chain conditions, where the largeness notion is given by Fubini products of a given ideal. From strong saturation properties of an ideal, we derive abstractly versions of higher dimensional $\Delta$-system…

There are several extensions of the classical Banach Fixed Point Theorem in technical literature. A branch of generalizations replaces usual contractivity by weaker but still effective assumptions. Our note follows this stream, presenting…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic, or even meromorphic, function on the unit disc. Plessner's theorem then says that, for almost every boundary point $\zeta $, either (i) $f$ has a finite nontangential limit at $\zeta $, or (ii) the image $f(S)$ of…

We extend an earlier result by Dan Abramovich, showing that a conjecture of S. Lang's implies the existence of a uniform bound on the number of $K$-rational points over all smooth curves of genus $g$ defined over $K$, where $K$ is any…

The Caccetta-Haggkvist conjecture states that if G is a finite directed graph with at least n/k edges going out of each vertex, then G contains a directed cycle of length at most k. Hamidoune used methods and results from additive number…

A well-known theorem of Sperner describes the largest collections of subsets of an $n$-element set none of which contains another set from the collection. Generalising this result, Erd\H{o}s characterised the largest families of subsets of…

While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…

We give two characterizations of $\mathcal P$-like continua $X$ that do not have the fixed point property. Both characterizations are stated in terms of sequences of open covers of $X$ that follow fixed-point-free patterns. We use these to…

We develop causality theory for upper semi-continuous distributions of cones over manifolds generalizing results from mathematical relativity in two directions: non-round cones and non-regular differentiability assumptions. We prove the…

We prove a converse Lyapunov theorem for boundedness of reachability sets for a general class of control systems whose flow is Lipschitz continuous on compact intervals with respect to trajectory-dominated inputs. We show that this…

Let $x$ be a sequence taking values in a separable metric space and $\mathcal{I}$ be a generalized density ideal or an $F_\sigma$-ideal on the positive integers (in particular, $\mathcal{I}$ can be any Erd{\H o}s--Ulam ideal or any summable…

Let $G$ be a 2-connected graph of order $n$ and let $c$ be the circumference - the order of a longest cycle in $G$. In this paper we present a sharp lower bound for the circumference based on minimum degree $\delta$ and $p$ - the order of a…

This note addresses the continuum problem, taking advantage of the breakthrough mentioned in the subtitle, and relating it to many recent advances occurring in set theory.

Uninorms with continuous underlying t-norm and t-conorm are discussed and properties of the set of discontinuity points of such a uninorm are shown. This set is proved to be a subset of the graph of a special symmetric, surjective,…

Let $P$ be a finite point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the set of distance $n$-chains defined as $$ \Delta_n(P)=\{(|p_1-p_2|,|p_2-p_3|,\ldots,|p_n-p_{n+1}|):p_i \in P\}.$$ We show that for $2\leq n=O_{|P|}(1)$ we have $$|\Delta_n(P)|\gtrsim…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$. We show that if $|R| < \frac{3}{2}n$ and $P…

The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…

A famous conjecture of P\'osa from 1962 asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices and with minimum degree at least $2n/3$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. The conjecture was proven for large graphs in 1996 by Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy…

Let $R$ be a subring of $\mathbb{C}[[z]]$, and let $X \in \mathbb{C}[[z]]$. The Newton-Puiseux Theorem implies that if the coefficients of $X$ grow sufficiently rapidly relative to the coefficients of the series in $R$, then $X$ is…
