Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zeros in the unit disk. ~Then it is well known that for $R\geq 1,$ $\displaystyle{\max_{|z|=R}|p(z)|}\leq…

It follows from Grothendieck's little inequality that to any complex (m x n) matrix X of column norm at most 1, and an 0 <e <1, there exist a natural number q, an (m x q) matrix C with $(1-e)^2 \leq CC^* \leq (4/\pi) (1 + e)^2$ and an (q x…

We derive bounds and asymptotics for the maximum Riesz polarization quantity $$M_n^p(A) := \max_{{\bold x}_1, {\bold x}_2, \ldots, {\bold x}_n \in A} {\min_{{\bold x} \in A}{\sum_{j=1}^n{\frac{1}{|{\bold x} - {\bold x}_j|^{p}}}}}$$ (which…

The maximal minors of a matrix of indeterminates are a universal Gr\"obner basis by a theorem of Bernstein, Sturmfels and Zelevinsky. On the other hand it is known that they are not always a universal Sagbi basis. By an experimental…

Let A(n) be a $k\times s$ matrix and $m(n)$ be a $k$ dimensional vector, where all entries of A(n) and $m(n)$ are integer-valued polynomials in $n$. Suppose that $$t(m(n)|A(n))=#\{x\in\mathbb{Z}_{+}^{s}\mid A(n)x=m(n)\}$$ is finite for each…

In 1986, Tomaszewski made the following conjecture. Given $n$ real numbers $a_{1},...,a_{n}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{i}^{2}=1$, then of the $2^{n}$ signed sums $\pm a_{1} \pm ... \pm a_{n}$, at least half have absolute value at most $1$.…

We study the parameterized complexity of the problem to decide whether a given natural number $n$ satisfies a given $\Delta_0$-formula $\varphi(x)$; the parameter is the size of $\varphi$. This parameterization focusses attention on…

This paper is devoted to Markov's extremal problems of the form $M_{n,k}=\sup_{p\in\PP_n\setminus\{0\}}{{\|p^{(k)}\|}_X}/{{\|p\|}_X}$ $(1\le k\le n)$, where $\PP_n$ is the set of all algebraic polynomials of degree at most $n$ and $X$ is a…

The two-colour Ramsey number $R(m,n)$ is the least natural number $p$ such that any graph of order $p$ must contain either a clique of size $m$ or an independent set of size $n$. We exhibit a method for computing upper bounds for $R(m,n)$…

The sub-linear expectation space is a nonlinear expectation space having advantages of modelling the uncertainty of probability and distribution. In the sub-linear expectation space, we use capacity and sub-linear expectation to replace…

Optimization with orthogonality constraints frequently arises in various fields such as machine learning. Riemannian optimization offers a powerful framework for solving these problems by equipping the constraint set with a Riemannian…

Let $e(n,s)$ denote the maximum size of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of an $n$-element set that contains no $s$ pairwise disjoint members. In 1968, answering a question of Erd\H{o}s, Kleitman determined $e(sm-1,s)$ and $e(sm,s)$ for…

We revisit the classic Maximum $k$-Coverage problem: Determine the largest number $t$ of elements that can be covered by choosing $k$ sets from a given family $\mathcal{F} = \{S_1,\dots, S_n\}$ of a size-$u$ universe. A notable special case…

Inspired by the work of Karamata, we consider an extremization problem associated with the probability of intersecting two random chords inside a circle of radius $r, \, r \in (0,1]$, where the endpoints of the chords are drawn according to…

Combining a modular approach to the $abc$ conjecture developed by the second author with the classical method of linear forms in logarithms, we obtain improved unconditional bounds for two classical problems. First, for Szpiro's conjecture…

In this paper, we will investigate the solvability of the equation $x_1^k + x_2^k + \ldots + x_s^k = n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$, $x_1,...,x_s\in \mathcal{A}$, $\mathcal{A}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}$. We will give a upper bound of the…

We explore how the asymptotic structure of a random permutation of $[n]$ with $m$ inversions evolves, as $m$ increases, establishing thresholds for the appearance and disappearance of any classical, consecutive or vincular pattern. The…

We develop a new tool, namely polynomial and linear algebraic methods, for studying systems of word equations. We illustrate its usefulness by giving essentially simpler proofs of several hard problems. At the same time we prove extensions…

Given a graph $F$, the random Tur\'an problem asks to determine the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $G_{n,p}$. Prior to this work, the only bipartite graphs $F$ with known tight bounds included certain classes of complete…

Given a $K$-vector space $V$, let $\sigma(V,K)$ denote the covering number, i.e. the smallest (cardinal) number of proper subspaces whose union covers $V$. Analogously, define $\sigma(M,R)$ for a module $M$ over a unital commutative ring…
