We establish an equivalent condition to the validity of the Collatz conjecture, using elementary methods. We derive some conclusions and show several examples of our results. We also offer a variety of exercises, problems and conjectures.

We show that a problem by Yau can not be true in general. The counterexamples are constructed based on the recent work of Wu and Zheng.

In this paper we show the equivalence among three conjectures (and related open questions), namely, the embedding of univalent maps of the unit ball into Loewner chains, the approximation of univalent maps with entire univalent maps and the…

We prove a conjecture of J.-C. Novelli, J.-Y. Thibon, and L. K. Williams (2010) about an equivalence of two triples of statistics on permutations. To prove this conjecture, we construct a bijection through different combinatorial objects,…

There are several versions of Bell's inequalities, proved in different contexts, using different sets of assumptions. The discussions of their experimental violation often disregard some required assumptions and use loose formulations of…

We prove that if a sufficiently regular even log-concave measure satisfies a certain stronger form of the dimensional Brunn-Minkowski conjecture, then it also satisfies the (B)-conjecture. Furthermore, we show that hereditarily convex…

The Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres conjecture states that any set of more than $2^{n-2}$ points in the plane with no three on a line contains the vertices of a convex $n$-gon. Erd\H{o}s, Tuza, and Valtr strengthened the conjecture by stating that any…

In this paper we prove the conjecture posed by Kl\'en et al. in \cite{kvz}, and give optimal inequalities for generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.

We show that it is consistent that the Borel Conjecture and the dual Borel Conjecture hold simultaneously.

In a recent paper, Hauenstein, Sturmfels, and the second author discovered a conjectural bijection between critical points of the likelihood function on the complex variety of matrices of rank r and critical points on the complex variety of…

In 2021, the first author and Kalita obtained two general hypergeometric formulas for sums involving certain rising factorials to prove some supercongruence conjectures of Guo related to (B.2) and (C.2). In this paper, we further generalize…

We study a recent conjecture proposed by Horst Alzer and Janusz Matkowski concerning a bilinearity property of the Cauchy exponential difference for real-to-real functions. The original conjecture was affirmatively resolved by Tomasz…

We study the most-informative Boolean function conjecture using a differential equation approach. This leads to a formulation of a functional inequality on finite-dimensional random variables. We also develop a similar inequality in the…

We prove three main conjectures of Berkovich and Uncu (Ann. Comb. 23 (2019) 263--284) on the inequalities between the numbers of partitions of $n$ with bounded gap between largest and smallest parts for sufficiently large $n$. Actually our…

In 1971, McMullen and Walkup posed the following conjecture, which is called the generalized lower bound conjecture: If $P$ is a simplicial $d$-polytope then its $h$-vector $(h_0,h_1,...,h_d)$ satisfies $h_0 \leq h_1 \leq ... \leq…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without an isolated edge can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general. We prove that every…

We present an elementary proof of a conjecture proposed by I. Rasa in 2017 which is an inequality involving Bernstein basis polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed in positive by A. Komisarski and T. Rajba very recently by the use…

We investigate progressions in the set of pairs of integers $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and define a generalisation of the Jacobsthal function. For this function, we conjecture a specific upper bound and prove that this bound would be a sufficient…

In this paper we present a self-contained combinatorial proof of the lower bound theorem for normal pseudomanifolds, including a treatment of the cases of equality in this theorem. We also discuss McMullen and Walkup's generalised lower…

In this paper we present a complete proof of a conjecture due to V. V. Prelov in 2010 about an information inequality for the binary entropy function.
