If $g$ is a map from a space $X$ into $\mathbb R^m$ and $q$ is an integer, let $B_{q,d,m}(g)$ be the set of all lines $\Pi^d\subset\mathbb R^m$ such that $|g^{-1}(\Pi^d)|\geq q$. Let also $\mathcal H(q,d,m,k)$ denote the maps $g\colon…

A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ is image partition regular provided that whenever $\mathbb N$ is finitely colored, there must be some $\vec{x}$ with entries from $\mathbb N$ such that all entries of $A\vec{x}$ are in some color class. In…

Idempotent elements are a well-studied part of ring theory, with several identities of the idempotents in $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ already known. Although the idempotents are not closed under addition, there are still interesting additive…

Given a symmetric matrix $M\in \{0,1,*\}^{D\times D}$, an $M$-partition of a graph $G$ is a function from $V(G)$ to $D$ such that no edge of $G$ is mapped to a $0$ of $M$ and no non-edge to a $1$. We give a computer-assisted proof that,…

We define radix representations for vectors in Z^n analogously with radix representations in Z, and give a sufficient condition for a matrix A:Z^n -> Z^n to yield a radix representation with a given canonical digit set. We relate our…

Let $\mathcal X$ be an infinite locally compact separable metric space with metric $\rho$ and let $f : \mathcal X \longrightarrow \mathcal X$ be a continuous weakly mixing map. Let $\beta = \sup \big\{ \rho(x, y): \{x, y \} \subset \mathcal…

Let $A$ be an expanding $2 \times 2$ matrix with rational entries and $\mathbb{Z}^2[A]$ be the smallest $A$-invariant $\mathbb{Z}$-module containing $\mathbb{Z}^2$. Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^2[A]$ which is a…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be an arbitrary finite field of order $q$. In this article, we study $\det S$ for certain types of subsets $S$ in the ring $M_2(\mathbb F_q)$ of $2\times 2$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb F_q$. For $i\in \mathbb{F}_q$,…

Let $A \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$ be an integer matrix with components bounded by $\Delta$ in absolute value. Cook et al.~(1986) have shown that there exists a universal matrix $B \in \mathbb{Z}^{m' \times n}$ with the following property:…

In the total matching problem, one is given a graph $G$ with weights on the vertices and edges. The goal is to find a maximum weight set of vertices and edges that is the non-incident union of a stable set and a matching. We consider the…

We continue the Coxeter spectral analysis of finite connected posets $I$ that are non-negative in the sense that their symmetric Gram matrix $G_I:=\frac{1}{2}(C_I + C_I^{tr})\in\mathbb{M}_{m}(\mathbb{Q})$ is positive semi-definite of rank…

We study representations of integral vectors in a number system with a matrix base $M$ and vector digits. We focus on the case when $M$ is similar to $J_n$, the Jordan block of $1$ of size $n$. If $M=J_2$, we classify digit sets of size 2…

Let $\beta \equiv \{ \beta_\mathbf{i} \}_{\mathbf{i} \in \mathbb{Z}_+^d}$ be a $d$-dimensional multisequence. Curto and Fialkow, have shown that if the infinite moment matrix $M(\beta)$ is finite-rank positive semidefinite, then $\beta$ has…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$ and $n$ a positive integer. We give a characterization of the polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over the set of matrices $M_n(D)$ in terms of their divided…

Let $D$ and $E$ be subspaces of the tensor product of the finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces $\mathbb{C}^m \otimes \mathbb{C}^n$. We show that the number of product vectors in $D$ with their partial conjugates in $E$ is uniformly bounded…

Let $[a,b]$ denote the integers between $a$ and $b$ inclusive and, for a finite subset $X \subseteq \mathbb{Z}$, let the diameter of $X$ be equal to $\max(X)-\min(X)$. We write $X<_p\,Y$ provided $\max(X)<\min(Y)$. For a positive integer…

For any positive integer $m$, let $\mathbb{Z}_{m}$ be the set of residue classes modulo $m$. For $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{m}$ and $\overline{n}\in \mathbb{Z}_{m}$, let representation function $R_{A}(\overline{n})$ denote the number of…

In this paper we solve in the positive the question of whether any finite set of integers, containing the zero, is the mapping degree set between two oriented closed connected manifolds of the same dimension. We extend this question to the…

The support of a vector is the number of nonzero-components. We show that given an integral $m\times n$ matrix $A$, the integer linear optimization problem $\max\left\{\boldsymbol{c}^T\boldsymbol{x} : A\boldsymbol{x} = \boldsymbol{b}, \,…
