Let $P \subset \mathbb R^2$ be a point set with cardinality $N$. We give an improved bound for the number of dot products determined by $P$, proving that, \[ |\{ p \cdot q :p,q \in P \}| \gg N^{2/3+c}. \] A crucial ingredient in the proof…

In this paper we generalize the concept of a quasi-Cauchy sequence to a concept of a $p$-quasi-Cauchy sequence for any fixed positive integer $p$. For $p=1$ we obtain some earlier existing results as a special case. We obtain some…

In this paper, we derive new lower bounds for the normalized distances between consecutive maxima of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line subject to the truth of the Riemann hypothesis. The method of our proofs relies on a Sobolev…

The uninorms with continuous underlying t-norm and t-conorm are characterized via an extended ordinal sum construction. Using the results of [18], where each uninorm with continuous underlying operations was characterized by properties of…

We prove a conjecture of Dukes and Herke concerning the possible orders of a basis for the cyclic group Z_n, namely : For each k \in N there exists a constant c_k > 0 such that, for all n \in N, if A \subseteq Z_n is a basis of order…

Kahn and Kim (J. Comput. Sci., 1995) have shown that for a finite poset $P$, the entropy of the incomparability graph of $P$ (normalized by multiplying by the order of $P$) and the base-$2$ logarithm of the number of linear extensions of…

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell--Lang conjecture of the author's $p$-adic formal Manin--Mumford results for $n$-dimensional $p$-divisible formal groups $\mathcal{F}$. In particular, given a finitely generated…

The ultraproduct construction is generalized to $p$-ultramean constructions ($1\leqslant p<\infty$) by replacing ultrafilters with finitely additive measures. These constructions correspond to the linear fragments $\mathscr L^p$ of…

Michael Handel proved in [7] the existence of a fixed point for an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the open unit disk that can be extended to the closed disk, provided that it has points whose orbits form an oriented cycle of links…

We prove the existence of fixed points of p-tupling renormalization operators for interval and circle mappings having a critical point of arbitrary real degree r > 1. Some properties of the resulting maps are studied: analyticity,…

We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…

Update: This work reproduces an earlier result of Peck, which the author was initially unaware of. The method of the proof is essentially the same as the original work of Peck. There are no new results. We show that the sum of squares of…

Let F be a family of subsets of {1,2,...,n}. The width-degree of an element x in at least one member of F is the width of the family {U in F | x in U}. If F has maximum width-degree at most k, then F is locally k-wide. Bounds on the size of…

We develop a family of simple rank one theories built over quite arbitrary sequences of finite hypergraphs. (This extends an idea from the recent proof that Keisler's order has continuum many classes, however, the construction does not…

Complex moment sequences are exactly those which admit positive definite extensions on the integer lattice points of the upper diagonal half-plane. Here we prove that the aforesaid extension is unique provided the complex moment sequence is…

We obtain an extended Reich fixed point theorem for the setting of generalized cone rectangular metric spaces without assuming the normality of the underlying cone. Our work is a generalization of the main result in \cite{AAB} and…

We prove a number of results related to a problem of Po-Shen Loh, which is equivalent to a problem in Ramsey theory. Let $a=(a_1,a_2,a_3)$ and $b=(b_1,b_2,b_3)$ be two triples of integers. Define $a$ to be 2-less than $b$ if $a_i<b_i$ for…

We consider a Kepler problem in dimension two or three, with a time-dependent $T$-periodic perturbation. We prove that for any prescribed positive integer $N$, there exist at least $N$ periodic solutions (with period $T$) as long as the…

Let $1 < p < \infty$, $p\neq 2$. We prove that if $d\geq d_p$ is sufficiently large, and $A\subs\R^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $\la_0=\la_0(A)$ such for all $\la\geq\la_0$ there are $x,y\in\R^d$ such…

In this paper we give for any integer l > 2 a numerical criterion ensuring the existence of a chain of length l of lines through two general points of an irreducible variety X in P^N, involving the degrees and the number of homogeneous…
