We study arithmetic constraints arising from the three faces meeting along the space diagonal of a rectangular cuboid. Using a propagation mechanism along this diagonal, based on the appearance of a minimal odd prime in certain triangular…

A subset of a convex body $B$ containing the origin in a Euclidean space is {\it parkable in $B$} if it can be translated inside $B$ in such a manner that the translate the origin. We provide characterizations of ellipsoids and of centrally…

The intractability of any problem and the randomness of its solutions have an obvious intuitive connection. However, the challenge till now has been that there is no practical way to firmly establish if the solution to a problem is actually…

We shall prove a multiplicity result for semilinear elliptic problems with a super-critical nonlinearity of the form, \begin{equation}\label{con-c} \left \{ \begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u =|u|^{p-2} u+\mu |u|^{q-2}u, & x \in \Omega\\ u=0, & x…

We show that for any $t>1$, the set of unconditional convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a $t$-separated subset of cardinality at least $\exp \exp (C(t) n)$. This implies that there exists an unconditional convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$…

In this paper we establish links between, and new results for, three problems that are not usually considered together. The first is a matrix decomposition problem that arises in areas such as statistical modeling and signal processing:…

We show that a linearly ordered topological space is initially \lambda-compact if and only if it is \lambda-bounded, that is, every set of cardinality $\leq \lambda$ has compact closure. As a consequence, every product of initially…

McDuff and Schlenk determined when a four-dimensional ellipsoid can be symplectically embedded into a four-dimensional ball, and found that when the ellipsoid is close to round, the answer is given by an "infinite staircase" determined by…

Let $f:[0,+\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a (locally) Lipschitz function and $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ a $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain whose boundary is unbounded and connected. If there exists a positive bounded solution to the overdetermined…

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of an odd dimensional compact manifold is zero. An Euler complex is a combinatorial analogue of a compact manifold. We present here an elementary proof of the corresponding result for Euler…
