In this paper we introduce generalized symmetric Meir-Keeler contractions and prove some coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators $F:X \times X \rightarrow X$ in partially ordered metric spaces. The obtained results extend,…

We revisit one of Zilber's early results in model-theoretic algebra, viz. definability in Schur's lemma. This takes place in a broader context than the original version from the seventies. The present exposition contains results extracted…

We propose a variation of the notion of Segre class, by forcing a naive `inclusion-exclusion' principle to hold. The resulting class is computationally tractable, and is closely related to Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. We deduce…

We show that the quantifier elimination result for the Shelah-Spencer almost sure theories of sparse random graphs $G(n,n^{-\alpha})$ given by Laskowski in $[7]$ extends to their various analogues. The analogues will be obtained as theories…

We study the problem of combining the outcomes of several different classifiers in a way that provides a coherent inference that satisfies some constraints. In particular, we develop two general approaches for an important…

In this article we show how Gr\"un's results in group theory can be used for studying the structure of class groups in normal extensions.

In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…

We construct $N$-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ which generalize the usual complex $(N=2)$ of differential forms. Although, for $N\geq 3$, the generalized cohomology of these…

We consider the numbers arising in the problem of normal ordering of expressions in canonical boson creation and annihilation operators. We treat a general form of a boson string which is shown to be associated with generalizations of…

We analyze the ordinal structure of long-range dependent time series. To this end, we use so called ordinal patterns which describe the relative position of consecutive data points. We provide two estimators for the probabilities of ordinal…

Joyal's theory of combiantorial species provides a rich and elegant framework for enumerating combinatorial structures by translating structural information into algebraic functional equations. We present some classical and folklore results…

We develop an obstruction theory for Hirsch extensions of cbba's with twisted coefficients. This leads to a variety of applications, including a structural theorem for minimal cbba's, a construction of relative minimal models with twisted…

We study sets of integers that can be defined by the vanishing of a generalised polynomial expression. We show that this includes sets of values of linear recurrent sequences of Salem type and some linear recurrent sequences of Pisot type.…

We develop an obstruction theory for homotopy of homomorphisms f,g : M -> N between minimal differential graded algebras. We assume that M = Lambda V has an obstruction decomposition given by V = V_0 oplus V_1 and that f and g are homotopic…

In this short paper, I recall the history of dealing with the lack of compactness of a sequence in the case of an unbounded domain and prove the vanishing Lions-type result for a sequence of Lebesgue-measurable functions. This lemma…

Distorted sums of models were introduced and discussed in [Sh:463]. This notion generalizes the notion of disjoint (or direct) sums of models by letting the summands overlap. In the first section we investigate types in distorted sums and…

Several theorems about the equivalence of familiar theories of reverse mathematics with certain well-ordering principles have been proved by recursion-theoretic and combinatorial methods (Friedman, Marcone, Montalban et al.) and with…

We introduce a simplified framework for ord-transitive models and Shelah's non elementary proper (nep) theory. We also introduce a new construction for the countable support nep iteration.

The Sperner and Tucker lemmas are combinatorial analogous of the Brouwer and Borsuk - Ulam theorems with many useful applications. These classic lemmas are concerning labellings of triangulated discs and spheres. In this paper we show that…

We consider the problem of enumeration of planar maps and revisit its one-matrix model solution in the light of recent combinatorial techniques involving conjugated trees. We adapt and generalize these techniques so as to give an…
