The study of Dense-$3$-Subhypergraph problem was initiated in Chlamt{\'{a}}c et al. [Approx'16]. The input is a universe $U$ and collection ${\cal S}$ of subsets of $U$, each of size $3$, and a number $k$. The goal is to choose a set $W$ of…

All integer solutions $\left(M,a,c\right)$ to the problem of the sums of $M$ consecutive cubed integers $\left(a+i\right)^{3}$ ($a>1$, $0\leq i\leq M-1$) equaling squared integers $c^{2}$ are found by decomposing the product of the…

The number of non-negative integer matrices with given row and column sums appears in a variety of problems in mathematics and statistics but no closed-form expression for it is known, so we rely on approximations of various kinds. Here we…

For k>=3 let A \subset [1,N] be a set not containing a solution to a_1 x_1+...+a_k x_k=a_1 x_{k+1}+...+a_k x_{2k} in distinct integers. We prove that there is an epsilon>0 depending on the coefficients of the equation such that every such A…

Let $5 \leq k \leq 11$ and $0\leq i \leq k-1$ be integers. We determine all solutions to the equation \begin{align*} n(n+d)(n+2d)\cdots(n+(i-1)d)(n+(i+1)d) \cdots (n+(k-1)d) = y^3 \end{align*} in integers $n,d,y$ with $ny \neq 0$, $d\geq…

Different authors have done analysis regarding sums of powers References number 1,2 and 3, but systematic approach for solving Diophantine equations having sums of many biquadratics equal to a quartic has not been done before. In this paper…

We prove that any non-isotrivial elliptic K3 surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic contains infinitely many rational curves. In the case when $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, we prove this result for any…

We revisit the classical Perspective-Three-Point (P3P) problem, which aims to recover the absolute pose of a calibrated camera from three 2D-3D correspondences. It has long been known that P3P can be reduced to a quartic polynomial with…

For any linear inequality in three variables $\mathcal{L}$, we determine (if it exist) the smallest integer $R(\mathcal{L}, \mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})$ such that: for every mapping $\chi :[1,n] \to \{0,1,2\}$, with $n\geq R(\mathcal{L},…

In the oracle identification problem we have oracle access to bits of an unknown string $x$ of length $n$, with the promise that it belongs to a known set $C\subseteq\{0,1\}^n$. The goal is to identify $x$ using as few queries to the oracle…

We study algorithms based on local improvements for the $k$-Set Packing problem. The well-known local improvement algorithm by Hurkens and Schrijver has been improved by Sviridenko and Ward from $\frac{k}{2}+\epsilon$ to $\frac{k+2}{3}$,…

A formalism is given to count integer and rational solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficients. These polynomials $P(x)$ are parameterized by three integers, labeling an elliptic curve. The counting of the rational…

Simplicial complexes are higher-order combinatorial structures which have been used to represent real-world complex systems. In this paper, we concentrate on the local patterns in simplicial complexes called simplets, a generalization of…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

In this paper we give a novel solution to a classical completion problem for square matrices. This problem was studied by many authors through time, and it is completely solved in [2, 3]. In this paper we relate this classical problem to a…

Let ${{B}_{3}}(n)$ denote the number of partition triples of $n$ where each partition is 3-core. With the help of generating function manipulations, we find several infinite families of arithmetic identities and congruences for…

In this paper we demonstrate a method for counting the number of solutions to various logic puzzles. Specifically, we remove all of the "clues" from the puzzle which help the solver to a unique solution, and instead start from an empty…

While solving a special case of a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham Steinerberger asks for all integers $n$ with $\phi(n)=\frac{2}{3} \cdot (n+1)$. He discovered the solutions $n\in\{5, 5 \cdot 7, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37\cdot…

In 1922, Mordell conjectured that the set of rational points on a smooth curve $C$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with genus $g \ge 2$ is finite. This has been proved by Faltings in 1983. However, Coleman determined in 1985 an upper bound of…

We revisit (3,0) and (3,3) admissible solutions obtained using the MLDE method. We show that all $(3,0)$ solutions can be written in terms of a universal formula involving the ${}_3F_2$ hypergeometric function that takes into account the…
