Extensions of a set partition obtained by imposing bounds on the size of the parts and the coloring of some of the elements are examined. Combinatorial properties and the generating functions of some counting sequences associated with these…
Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ be invertible, $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ unknown and $b =Ax $ given. We are interested in approximate solutions: vectors $y \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $\|Ay - b\|$ is small. We prove that for all $0<…
A bootstrap program is presented for algebraically solving the $R$-matrix of a generic integrable quantum spin chain from its Hamiltonian. The Yang-Baxter equation contains an infinite number of seemingly independent constraints on the…
We present a structural resolution to the exact evaluation of the partition function $p_k(n)$, systematically overcoming the limitations of traditional recursive and asymptotic methods. By framing the partition polytope $\mathcal{P}_{n,k}$…
Let $S$ be an orthogonal array $OA(d,k)$ and let $c$ be an $r$--coloring of its ground set $X$. We give a combinatorial identity which relates the number of vectors in $S$ with given color patterns under $c$ with the cardinalities of the…
For every positive integer $d$, we show that there must exist an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that the following holds: for any integer $n \geq cd^{7}$ and any red-blue coloring of the one-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{2}^{n}$,…
A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ shatters a set $A \subseteq [n]$ if for every $A' \subseteq A$ there is an $F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $F \cap A=A'$. We develop a framework to analyze $f(n,k,d)$, the maximum…
A $0,1$ matrix is said to be regular if all of its rows and columns have the same number of ones. We prove that for infinitely many integers $k$, there exists a square regular $0,1$ matrix with binary rank $k$, such that the Boolean rank of…
We apply the replica analysis established by Gardner to the multi-constraint continuous knapsack problem,which is one of the linear programming problems and a most fundamental problem in the field of operations research (OR). For a large…
A partition is finitary if all its members are finite. For a set $A$, $\mathscr{B}(A)$ denotes the set of all finitary partitions of $A$. It is shown consistent with $\mathsf{ZF}$ (without the axiom of choice) that there exist an infinite…
A partition is a $t$-core partition if $t$ is not one of its hook lengths. Let $c_t(N)$ be the number of $t$-core partitions of $N$. In 1999, Stanton conjectured $c_t(N) \le c_{t+1}(N)$ if $4 \le t \ne N-1$. This was proved for $t$ fixed…
Motivated by existence problems for dissipative systems arising naturally in lattice models from quantum statistical mechanics, we consider the following $C^{\ast}$-algebraic setting: A given hermitian dissipative mapping $\delta$ is…
Given an $n\times n$ matrix $A_n$ and $1\leq r, p \leq\infty$, consider the following quadratic optimization problem referred to as the $\ell_r$-Grothendieck problem:…
Motivated by complexity questions in integer programming, this paper aims to contribute to the understanding of combinatorial properties of integer matrices of row rank $r$ and with bounded subdeterminants. In particular, we study the…
We show a simple local norm regularization algorithm that works with high probability. Namely, we prove that if the entries of a $n \times n$ matrix $A$ are i.i.d. symmetrically distributed and have finite second moment, it is enough to…
We show that for non-zero integers $a$ and $b$ there is a natural number $N < \exp(r^{2+o_{a,b;r\rightarrow \infty}(1)})$ such that in any $r$-colouring of $\{1,\dots,N\}$ there are $x,y,z$, all in the same colour class, such that…
We prove a version of the Erd\H{o}s--Beck Theorem from discrete geometry for fractal sets in all dimensions. More precisely, let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Borel and $k \in [0, n-1]$ be an integer. Let $\dim (X \setminus H) = \dim X$ for every…
We define the notion of componentwise regularity and study some of its basic properties. We prove an analogue, when working with weight orders, of Buchberger's criterion to compute Gr\"obner bases; the proof of our criterion relies on a…
Friedland (1981) showed that for a nonnegative square matrix A, the spectral radius r(e^D A) is a log-convex functional over the real diagonal matrices D. He showed that for fully indecomposable A, log r(e^D A) is strictly convex over D_1,…
We study the topological version of the partition calculus in the setting of countable ordinals. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be ordinals and let $k$ be a positive integer. We write $\beta\to_{top}(\alpha,k)^2$ to mean that, for every red-blue…
