As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

We study simple superfaithful and superconnected quandles and we found counterexamples to a conjecture suggested by computational data. We provide also examples of superconnected quandles built using group theoretical results and…

Let $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ be the set of positive integers. Let $C_{k}$ denote all subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^{+}$ such that neither of them contains $k + 1$ pairwise coprime integers and $C_k(n)=C_k\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $f(n, k) =…

We provide counterexamples to several conjectures concerning strongly maximal and strongly minimal structures in infinite graphs and hypergraphs. In particular, we construct 3-uniform hypergraphs without strongly maximal matchings and…

We add further notions to Lehmann's list of numerical analogues to the Kodaira dimension of pseudo-effective divisors on smooth complex projective varieties, and show new relations between them. Then we use these notions and relations to…

An alternative computational approach to the Collatz (3n+1) conjecture is presented that may be theoretically capable of confirming the conjecture.

In this paper, we prove Erd\H{o}s distance conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^d$, namely, a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ determines $\Omega(\frac{n}{\sqrt{\log n}})$ distances, and for $d\ge 3$, a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$…

In this paper, we prove two conjectural supercongruences on the $(p-1)$th Ap\'ery number, which were recently proposed by Z.-H. Sun.

We give a systematic method of providing numerical evidence for higher order Stark-type conjectures such as (in chronological order) Stark's conjecture over $\mathbb{Q}$, Rubin's conjecture, Popescu's conjecture, and a conjecture due to…

Using algebraic transformations and equivalent reformulations we derive a number of new results from some earlier ones (by the author) in more accepted terms closely related to well-known conjectures of Bondy and Jung including a number of…

Let $\{a_1, . . . , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \dots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are distinct. A famous conjecture by Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>c\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $c$, while the best result known…

Recently, D. Burns and C. Greither (Invent. Math., 2003) deduced an equivariant version of the main conjecture for abelian number fields. This was the key to their proof of the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture. A. Huber and G. Kings…

Additive combinatorics asks for lower bounds on sumsets and restricted sumsets over finite fields. Central examples are the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and the Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn conjecture. In this note, we develop Das's linear algebraic…

The Erd\H{o}s similarity conjecture asserted that an infinite set of real numbers cannot be affinely embedded into every measurable set of positive Lebesgue measure. The problem is still open, in particular for all fast decaying sequences.…

In 1981, Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits conjectured that for any bipartite graph $H$ we have $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)=O(n^{3/2})$ if and only if $H$ is $2$-degenerate. Later, Erd\H{o}s offered 250 dollars for a proof and 500 dollars for a…

We prove two conjectures on sums of products of Catalan triangle numbers, which were originally conjectured by Miana, Ohtsuka, and Romero [Discrete Math. 340 (2017), 2388--2397]. The first one is proved by using Zeilberger's algorithm, and…
