Let $X$ be a positive integer and $t$ a real number great than 1. The family of sets $\left\{\big\lfloor\frac{X}{n^t}\big\rfloor ~:~ 1\leq n\leq X\right\}$ have an interesting prime distribution property. We give an exact formula for the…
Let $x$ be a positive integer. We give an asymptotic formula for the number of primes in the set $\{\fl{x/n}, 1 \le n \le x\}$ and give some related results.
A positive integer $d$ is a floor quotient of $n$ if there is a positive integer $k$ such that $d = \lfloor n/k \rfloor$. The floor quotient relation defines a partial order on the positive integers. This paper studies the internal…
Let $\mathbf{x}$ be a (non-empty) sequence of positive real numbers. Its achievement set $\mathcal{\mathbf{x}}$ is the set of all the possible sums of the elements of $\mathbf{x}$. The cardinal function of $\mathbf{x}$ is the function…
Given a set $X$ of $n\times n$ matrices and a positive integer $m$, we consider the problem of estimating the cardinalities of the product sets $A_1 \dotsc A_m$, where $A_i\in X$. When $X=\mathcal M_n(\mathbb{Z};H)$, the set of $n\times n$…
We compute the cardinality $\mathfrak n_{\dim}(\mathcal M)$ of the sets of dimension functions on the ordered structures $\mathcal M$. The inequality $\mathfrak n_{\dim}(\mathcal M) \leq 1$ holds if $\mathcal M$ is a d-minimal expansion of…
Let $F$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $\M(n,r, F)$ be the set of $n\times n$ matrices of rank $r$ over the field $F$. For $\alpha\in F$ and $A\in \M(n,F)$, let $$Z^{\alpha}_{A,r}=\left\{X\in \M(n,r, F)\mid \tr(AX)=\alpha\right \}.$$…
Let [t] be the integral part of the real number t and let 1 P be the characteristic function of the primes. Denote by $\pi$ G (x) the number of primes in the floor function set G(x) := {[ x n ] : 1 n x} and by S 1 P (x) the number of primes…
For finite sets of integers $A_1, A_2 ... A_n$ we study the cardinality of the $n$-fold sumset $A_1+... +A_n$ compared to those of $n-1$-fold sumsets $A_1+... +A_{i-1}+A_{i+1}+... A_n$. We prove a superadditivity and a submultiplicativity…
This report presents an expression for the number of a multiset's sub-multisets of a given cardinality as a function of the multiplicity of its elements. This is also the number of distinct samples of a given size that may be produced by…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $|A|$ denote the cardinality of a set $A$. We prove that if $f\colon X\to X$ is a homeomorphism and $|X|=\infty$ then for all $\delta>0$ there is $A\subset X$ such that $|A|=4$ and for all $k\in Z$…
An approximate divisor order is a partial order on the positive integers $\mathbb{N}^+$ that refines the divisor order and is refined by the additive total order. A previous paper studied such a partial order on $\mathbb{N}^+$, produced…
We find all subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ which occur as the set of possible cardinalities of preimages of a continuous function. We also study and answer this question for various subclasses of continuous functions.
A set with a group action is referred to as a $G$-set, and the set of functions that commute with this action forms a monoid under function composition. This paper examines the case where the $G$-set is finite, which implies that the monoid…
This paper develops a rich theory of cardinality in the paraconsistent and paracomplete set theory $\mathrm{BZFC}$, where sets can be inconsistent ($A$ such that ``$x\in A$'' is both true and false for some $x$) or incomplete ($A$ such that…
We consider point sets in the affine plane $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where each Euclidean distance of two points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. These sets are called integral point sets and were originally defined in $m$-dimensional Euclidean…
We present a simple, closed formula which gives all the primes in order. It is a simple product of integer floor and ceiling functions.
In this paper, we have established boundaries of cardinal numbers of nonempty sets in finite non-$T_1$ topological spaces using interval analysis. For a finite set with known cardinality, we give interval estimations based on the closure…
A nonempty finite set of positive integers A is relatively prime if gcd(A) = 1 and it is relatively prime to n if gcd(A [ fng) = 1. The number of nonempty subsets of A which are relatively prime to n is \Phi(A, n) and the number of such…
Recently there has been several works estimating the number of $n\times n$ matrices with elements from some finite sets $\mathcal X$ of arithmetic interest and of a given determinant. Typically such results are compared with the trivial…
