We obtain reasonably tight upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_{n \leqslant x} \varphi \left( \left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor\right)$, involving the Euler functions $\varphi$ and the integer parts $\left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor$ of the…

We exhibit a one-to-one correspondence between $3$-colored graphs and subarrangements of certain hyperplane arrangements denoted $\mathcal J_n$, $n \in \mathbb N$. We define the notion of centrality of $3$-colored graphs which corresponds…

The relationship between the complexity classes $P$ and $NP$ is an unsolved question in the field of theoretical computer science. In the first part of this paper, a lattice framework is proposed to handle the 3-CNF-SAT problems, known to…

For given integers $r$ and $\ell$ such that $2\leqslant\ell\leqslant r-1$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is called a partial Steiner $(n,r,\ell)$-system, if every subset of size $\ell$ lies in at most one edge of $H$. In particular, partial…

A {\em cross-free} set of size $m$ in a Steiner triple system $(V,{\cal{B}})$ is three pairwise disjoint $m$-element subsets $X_1,X_2,X_3\subset V$ such that no $B\in {\cal{B}}$ intersects all the three $X_i$-s. We conjecture that for every…

The aim of this paper is to present a construction of $t$-divisible designs for $t>3$, because such divisible designs seem to be missing in the literature. To this end, tools such as finite projective spaces and their algebraic varieties…

We introduce Poisson triple systems, which are vector spaces with 3 trilinear operations satisfying 9 polynomial identities of degree 5. We show that every Poisson triple system has a universal enveloping Poisson algebra. Finally, we…

In section 1 we consider a 3-tuple $S=(|S|,\preccurlyeq,E)$ where $|S|$ is a finite set, $\preccurlyeq$ a partial ordering on $|S|,$ and $E$ a set of unordered pairs of distinct members of $|S|,$ and study, as a function of $n\geq 0,$ the…

This paper deals with the $(p,q)$--Schr\"odinger--Poisson system \begin{eqnarray*} \left \{\begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle -\Delta_p u+|u|^{p-2}u+\lambda\phi |u|^{s-2}u=|u|^{r-2}u,&\mathrm{in} \ \mathbb{R}^3,\\ \displaystyle -\Delta_q \phi…

The usefulness of parameterized algorithmics has often depended on what Niedermeier has called, "the art of problem parameterization". In this paper we introduce and explore a novel but general form of parameterization: the number of…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. $P_{1},P_{2},P_{3}$ are three subsets of $\mathcal{P}$. Let $\underline{\delta}(P_{i})$ $(i=1,2,3)$ denote the lower density of $P_{i}$ in $\mathcal{P}$, respectively. It is proved that if…

We consider when the projective special linear group over a finite field defines a $3$-design with a cyclic starter block. We will show that the equivalences of the existence of such $3$-$(q+1,5,3)$ and $3$-$(q+1,10,18)$ designs for a prime…

Rowland and Zeilberger devised an approach to algorithmically determine the modulo $p^r$ reductions of values of combinatorial sequences representable as constant terms (building on work of Rowland and Yassawi). The resulting $p$-schemes…

We demonstrate propagation rules of subsystem code constructions by extending, shortening and combining given subsystem codes. Given an $[[n,k,r,d]]_q$ subsystem code, we drive new subsystem codes with parameters $[[n+1,k,r,\geq d]]_q$,…

In the Newtonian 3-body problem, for any choice of the three masses, there are exactly three Euler configurations (also known as the three Euler points). In Helmholtz' problem of 3 point vortices in the plane, there are at most three…

We explicitly construct a collection of bad 3-orbifolds, \(\mathcal{X}\), satisfying the following properties: \begin{enumerate} \item The underlying topological space of any \(X \in \mathcal{X}\) is homeomorphic to $S^2\times I$ or…

By means of classical fixed point index, we prove new results on the existence, non-existence, localization and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for systems of Hammerstein integral equations where the nonlinearities are allowed to…

A Steiner triple system is a set $S$ together with a collection $\mathcal{B}$ of subsets of $S$ of size 3 such that any two elements of $S$ belong to exactly one element of $\mathcal{B}$. It is well known that the class of finite Steiner…

The class of $\left(\binom{n+1}{2}_{n-1} \binom{n+1}{3}_3\right)$-configurations which contain at least $n-2$ $K_n$-graphs coincides with the class of so called systems of triangle perspectives i.e. of configurations which contain a bundle…
