The ternary Cantor set $\mathcal{C}$, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, is the best known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line. The present article we study the basic properties $\mathcal{C}$ and also study in detail…

Euler's theorem asserts that $A(n)=B(n)$ where $A(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts and $B(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts. In this paper, it is proved that for $n>0$, \begin{align*}…

This article critically reappraises arguments in support of Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers. The following results are reported: i) Cantor's proofs of nondenumerability are refuted by analyzing the logical inconsistencies in…

M. Krein proved in 1948 that if T is a continuous operator on a normed space leaving invariant an open cone, then its adjoint T* has an eigenvector. We present generalizations of this result as well as some applications to C*-algebras,…

A set of necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of moment generating functions to converge to a moment generating function on an interval (a,b) not necessarily containing 0, is given. The result is derived using recent results…

In 1954 Marstrand proved that if K is a subset of R^2 with Hausdorff dimension greater than 1, then its one-dimensional projection has positive Lebesgue measure for almost-all directions. In this article, we give a combinatorial proof of…

Given a nonincreasing sequence of positive numbers $(a_n)$ such that the series $\sum a_n$ is convergent, by $E(a_n)$ we denote the set of all subsums of the series $\sum a_n$ and call it the achievement set of $(a_n)$. It is well known…

In this paper, we are going to discuss the following problem: Let $T$ be a fixed set in $\mathbb{R}^n$. And let $S$ and $B$ he two subsets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that for any $x$ in $S$, there exists an $r$ such that $x+ r T$ is a subset of…

This is the second combinatorial proof of the compactness theorem for singular from 1977. In fact it gives a somewhat stronger theorem.

In the present article, modeling certain rational numbers, that are represented in terms of Cantor series, are described. The statements on relations between digits in the representations of rational numbers by Cantor series (for the case…

We prove a Khintchine type theorem for approximation of elements in the Cantor set, as a subset of the formal Laurent series over $\mathbb{F}_3$, by rational functions of a specific type. Furthermore we construct elements in the Cantor set…

It is shown that the pillars of transfinite set theory, namely the uncountability proofs, do not hold. (1) Cantor's first proof of the uncountability of the set of all real numbers does not apply to the set of irrational numbers alone, and,…

Let $C_1$ and $C_2$ be two Cantor sets with convex hull $[0,1]$. Newhouse proved if $\tau(C_1)\cdot \tau(C_2)\geq 1$, then the arithmetic sum $C_1+C_2$ is an interval, where $\tau(C_i), 1\leq i\leq 2$ denotes the thickness of $C_i$. In this…

The ternary Cantor set $C$, constructed by George Cantor in 1883, is probably the best-known example of a perfect nowhere-dense set in the real line, but as we will see later, it is not the only one. The present article will delve into the…

In this paper, we prove some new thickness theorems with partial derivatives. We give some applications. First, we give a simple criterion that can judge whether two scaled Cantor sets have non-empty intersection. Second, we prove under…

Kolmogorov's invariant torus theorem is proved using a simple fixed point theorem.

It will be shown that Pascal's Theorem is equivalent to the associativity of a natural binary operation on conic sections. A novel proof for Pascal's Theorem will then be given by showing that this binary operation is associative…

In an earlier paper, we established a natural connection between the Baum-Connes conjecture and noncommutative Bloch theory, viz. the spectral theory of projectively periodic elliptic operators on covering spaces. We elaborate on this…

A very simple but useful almost sure convergence theorem of probability is given.

In 1994, John Cobb asked: given $N>m>k>0$, does there exist a Cantor set in $\mathbb R^N$ such that each of its projections into $m$-planes is exactly $k$-dimensional? Such sets were described for $(N,m,k)=(2,1,1)$ by L.Antoine (1924) and…
