For a finite abelian group $G$ and positive integers $m$ and $h$, we let $$\rho(G, m, h) = \min \{|hA| \; : \; A \subseteq G, |A|=m\}$$ and $$\rho_{\pm} (G, m, h) = \min \{|h_{\pm} A| \; : \; A \subseteq G, |A|=m\},$$ where $hA$ and…
Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…
We verify that $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\cdot |q|_p\cdot ||qx||<\epsilon$ for all real $x$, small primes $p$ and relatively small $\epsilon$. This result supports the famous $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture which states that the above lower…
For a nonempty finite set $A$ of integers, let $S(A) = \left\{ \sum_{b\in B} b: \emptyset \not= B\subseteq A\right\}$ be the set of all nonempty subset sums of $A$. In 1995, Nathanson determined the minimum cardinality of $S(A)$ in terms of…
For any given set $A$ of nonnegative integers and for any given two positive integers $k_1,k_2$, $R_{k_1,k_2}(A,n)$ is defined as the number of solutions of the equation $n=k_1a_1+k_2a_2$ with $a_1,a_2\in A$. In this paper, we prove that if…
We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to $A+B+C=0$, in relatively prime integers $A,B,C$ each of absolute value less than $N$ with $r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c.$ The ABC Conjecture…
Given an integer $m\geq2$, the Hardy--Littlewood inequality (for real scalars) says that for all $2m\leq p\leq\infty$, there exists a constant $C_{m,p}% ^{\mathbb{R}}\geq1$ such that, for all continuous $m$--linear forms…
Let A be a set of integers and let h \geq 2. For every integer n, let r_{A, h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n=a_1+...+a_h, where a_1,...,a_h belong to the set A, and a_1\leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}…
In this paper, we investigate the minimization problem : $$ \inf_{ \displaystyle{\begin{array}{lll} u \in H_0^1(\Omega), v \in H_0^1(\Omega),\\ \quad \| u \|_{L^{q}} =1, \quad \| v \|_{L^{q}} = 1 \end{array}}} \left[ \frac{1}{2}…
We study Helson matrices (also known as multiplicative Hankel matrices), i.e. infinite matrices of the form $M(\alpha) = \{\alpha(nm)\}_{n,m=1}^\infty$, where $\alpha$ is a sequence of complex numbers. Helson matrices are considered as…
Let $$ A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & E^*\\ E & H_2\end{array}\right) \quad \hbox{ and } \quad \wtd A=\left(\begin{array}{cc} H_1 & O\\ O & H_2\end{array}\right)$$ be two $N$-by-$N$ Hermitian matrices with eigenvalues $\lambda_1 \ge \cdots…
Let $\mathcal{A}=\{a_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\mathcal{B}=\{b_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be two sequences of positive integers (not necessarily distinct). Under some restrictions on $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, we obtain a lower bound for…
The threshold behaviour of negative eigenvalues for Schr\"{o}dinger operators of the type $$ H_\lambda=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+U(x)+\lambda\alpha_\lambda V(\alpha_\lambda x) $$ is considered. The potentials $U$ and $V$ are real-valued bounded…
Let $\Lambda_n^k$ denote the class of $(0,1)$ square matrices containing in each row and in each column exactly $k$ 1's. The minimal value of $k,$ for which the behavior of the permanent in $\Lambda_n^k$ is not quite studied, is $k=3.$ We…
For $g \geq 2$ and $h \geq 3$, we give small improvements on the maximum size of a $B_h[g]$-set contained in the interval $\{1,2, \dots , N \}$. In particular, we show that a $B_3[g]$-set in $\{1,2, \dots , N \}$ has at most $(14.3 g…
The induced Ramsey number $R_{\mathrm{ind}}(H; r)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum number $N$ such that there exists a graph with $N$ vertices for which all $r$-colourings of its edges contain a monochromatic induced copy of $H$. Our main…
We show that the set of atoms of the limiting empirical marginal distribution in the random $2$-SAT model is $\mathbb Q \cap (0,1)$, for all clause-to-variable densities up to the satisfiability threshold. While for densities up to $1/2$,…
The tensorial equations for non trivial fully interacting fixed points at lowest order in the $\varepsilon$ expansion in $4-\varepsilon$ and $3-\varepsilon$ dimensions are analysed for $N$-component fields and corresponding multi-index…
For coprime integers $N,a,b,c$, with $0<a<b<c<N$, we define the set $$ \{ (na \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}, nb \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}, nc \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}) : 0 \leq n < N\}. $$ We study which parameters $N,a,b,c$ generate point sets with long…
Let $X$ be an uncountable Polish space and let $\mathcal{H}$ be the Hindman ideal, that is, the family of all $S\subseteq \omega$ which are not $IP$-sets. For each sequence $x=(x_n)_{n \in \omega}$ taking values in $X$, let…
