We extend the recent improvement of Roth's theorem on three term arithmetic progressions by Sanders to obtain similar results for the problem of locating non-trivial solutions to translation invariant linear equations in many variables in…
Here is a direct problem for Sidon sets: Given a linear form $\varphi = c_1 x_1 + \cdots + c_h x_h $, construct and describe sets $A$ that are Sidon sets for $\varphi$. This paper considers an inverse problem for Sidon sets: Given a set…
We examine the solubility of a diagonal, translation invariant, quadratic equation system in arbitrary (dense) subsets A \subset Z and show quantitative bounds on the size of A if there are no non-trivial solutions. We use the circle method…
We use Sidon sets to present an elementary method to study some combinatorial problems in finite fields, such as sum product estimates, solubility of some equations and distribution of sequences in small intervals. We obtain classic and…
We show that for all integers $2\le s\le t$, any $K_{s,t}$-free subset of $[N]$ with size $\Omega(n^{1-1/s})$ must contain a nontrivial solution to every fixed translation-invariant linear equation in at least five variables. This extends…
We improve the result of our previous paper on translation invariant quadratic forms in two special cases. We reduce the density bound $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log\log N)^{-c})$ to $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log N)^{-c})$ for most quadratic forms…
Let $\varphi(x_1,\ldots, x_h) = c_1 x_1 + \cdots + c_h x_h $ be a linear form with coefficients in a field $\mathbf{F}$, and let $V$ be a vector space over $\mathbf{F}$. A nonempty subset $A$ of $V$ is a $\varphi$-Sidon set if, for all…
We study translation-invariant additive equations of the form $\sum_{i=1}^s \lambda_i \mathbf{P}(\mathbf{n}_i) = 0$ in variables $\mathbf{n}_i \in \mathbb{Z}^d$, where the $\lambda_i$ are nonzero integers summing to zero, and $\mathbf{P}$…
Representative examples of our results are as follows. For any positive integer $N$ the equation $$ x^3+y^3=z^3+t^3, \quad x,y,z,t\in \mathbb{N}, \quad \{x,y\}\not=\{z,t\} $$ has no solutions satisfying $$ N\le x,y,z,t <…
We consider a translation invariant linear equation in four variables with integer coefficients of the form: $ax_1 +bx_2= cy_1+dy_2$. The main result of the paper states that any set on the real line with Fourier dimension greater than 1/2…
In this paper one shows if the number of natural solutions of a general linear equation is limited or not. Also, it is presented a method of solving the Diophantine equation $ax-by=c$ in the set of natural numbers, and an example of solving…
We prove a lower bound of exp(-C (log(2/alpha))^7)N^{k-1} to the number of solutions of an invariant equation in k variables, contained in a set of density alpha. Moreover, we give a Behrend-type construction for the same problem with the…
We generalize Roth's theorem on three term arithmetic progressions to translation invariant quadratic forms in at least 17 variables. We use Fourier-analysis, restriction theory, uniformity norms and Roth's density increment method to show…
A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is called a Sidon set if there is no Sidon 4-tuple, i.e., $(a,b,c,d)$ in $A$ with $a+b=c+d$ and $\{a, b\}\cap \{c, d\}=\emptyset$. Cameron and Erd\H os proposed the problem of determining the number of…
Four new integrable evolutions equations with operator Lax pairs are found for an octonion variable. The method uses a scaling ansatz to set up a general polynomial form for the evolution equation and the Lax pair, using KdV and mKdV…
We show how multiplicatively syndetic sets can be used in the study of partition regularity of dilation invariant systems of polynomial equations. In particular, we prove that a dilation invariant system of polynomial equations is partition…
We prove that certain families of homogenous affine iterated function systems in $\mathbb{R}^d$ have the property that the open set condition and the existence of exact overlaps both occur densely in the space of translation parameters.…
A system of linear equations in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ is \textit{Sidorenko} if any subset of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ contains at least as many solutions to the system as a random set of the same density, asymptotically as $n\to \infty$. A system of…
A system of inhomogeneous second-order difference equations with linear parts given by noncommutative matrix coefficients are considered. Closed form of its solution is derived by means of newly defined delayed matrix sine/cosine using the…
Let $f$ be a nonnegative function supported on $(-1/4, 1/4)$. We show $$ \sup_{x \in \mathbb{R}}{\int_{\mathbb{R}}{f(t)f(x-t)dt}} \geq 1.28\left(\int_{-1/4}^{1/4}{f(x)dx} \right)^2,$$ where 1.28 improves on a series of earlier results. The…
