For each natural number $n$, let $C^{(n)}$ be the closed and unbounded proper class of ordinals $\alpha$ such that $V_\alpha$ is a $\Sigma_n$ elementary substructure of $V$. We say that $\kappa$ is a \emph{$C^{(n)}$-cardinal} if it is the…
Assembly Theory, as developed by Cronin and co-workers, assigns to an object an assembly index: the minimal number of binary join operations required to build at least one copy of the object from a specified set of basic building blocks,…
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 $k\in Z$…
Given a sequence of integers $a_j, j\ge 1,$ a multiset is a combinatorial object composed of unordered components, such that there are exactly $a_j$ one-component multisets of size $j.$ When $a_j\asymp j^{r-1} y^j$ for some $r>0$, $y\geq…
For strongly connected, pure $n$-dimensional regular CW-complexes, we show that {\it evenness} (each $(n{-}1)$-cell is contained in an even number of $n$-cells) is equivalent to generalizations of both cycle decomposition and…
The identity by Chaundy and Bullard expresses $1$ as a sum of two truncated binomial series in one variable where the truncations depend on two different non-negative integers. We present basic and elliptic extensions of the…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $A$ be nonempty finite set of positive integers. We say that $A$ is relatively prime if $\gcd(A) =1$ and that $A$ is relatively prime to $n$ if $\gcd(A,n)=1$. In this work we count the number of…
Based on works of Saharon Shelah, Jakob Kellner, and Anda T\u{a}nasie for controlling the cardinal characteristics of the continuum in ccc forcing extensions, in the author's master's thesis was introduced a new combinatorial notion: the…
Hereditarily finite sets (sets which are finite and have only hereditarily finite sets as members) are basic mathematical and computational objects, and also stand at the basis of some programming languages. This raises the need for…
Multiple harmonic-like numbers are studied using the generating function approach. A closed form is stated for binomial sums involving these numbers and two additional parameters. Several corollaries and examples are presented which are…
The intersection problem for additive (extended and non-extended) perfect codes, i.e. which are the possibilities for the number of codewords in the intersection of two additive codes C1 and C2 of the same length, is investigated. Lower and…
Call a compact, connected, simple Lie group $G$ {\emph{adjoint simple}} if it has trivial center. Let $C\subset G$ be a nontrivial conjugacy class, $e\in G$ the identity element of $G$. We prove the existence of an $N\in\mathbb{N}$,…
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 k>1, let a_n be the sequence defined by the recurrence a_n=c_1a_{n-1}+c_2a_{n-2}+...+c_ka_{n-k} for n>=k, with initial values a_0=a_1=...=a_{k-2}=0 and a_{k-1}= 1. We show under a couple of assumptions concerning the constants c_i…
Adjoint logic is a general approach to combining multiple logics with different structural properties, including linear, affine, strict, and (ordinary) intuitionistic logics, where each proposition has an intrinsic mode of truth. It has…
We consider continuous relational structures with finite domain $[n] := \{1, \ldots, n\}$ and a many valued logic, $CLA$, with values in the unit interval and which uses continuous connectives and continuous aggregation functions. $CLA$…
A triple of commuting operators for which the closed tetrablock $\overline{\mathbb E}$ is a spectral set is called a tetrablock contraction or an $\mathbb E$-contraction. The set $\mathbb E$ is defined as \[ \mathbb E = \{…
When we investigate a type system, it is helpful if we can establish the well-foundedness of types or terms with respect to a certain hierarchy, and the Extended Calculus of Constructions (called $ECC$, defined and studied comprehensively…
In this paper we use the Recursion Theorem to show the existence of various infinite sequences and sets. Our main result is that there is an increasing sequence e_0, e_1, e_2 .. such that W_{e_n}={e_{n+1}} for every n. Similarly, we prove…
We characterize the group property of being with infinite conjugacy classes (or icc, i.e. \not= 1 and of which all conjugacy classes except 1 are infinite) for finite extensions of group.
