We investigate the properties of the simultaneous projection method as applied to countably infinitely many closed and linear subspaces of a real Hilbert space. We establish the optimal error bound for linear convergence of this method,…
Given a set of points $P$ and axis-aligned rectangles $\mathcal{R}$ in the plane, a point $p \in P$ is called \emph{exposed} if it lies outside all rectangles in $\mathcal{R}$. In the \emph{max-exposure problem}, given an integer parameter…
In this paper, we explore several threads arising from our recent joint work on arithmetic holonomy bounds, which were originally devised to prove new irrationality results based on the method of Ap\'ery limits. We propose a new method to…
We prove a new upper bound on the number of $r$-rich lines (lines with at least $r$ points) in a `truly' $d$-dimensional configuration of points $v_1,\ldots,v_n \in \mathbb{C}^d$. More formally, we show that, if the number of $r$-rich lines…
Recently, Alon and Frankl (JCTB, 2024) determined the maximum number of edges in $K_{\ell+1}$-free $n$-vertex graphs with bounded matching number. For integers $\ell\ge r \ge 2$, the family $\mathcal{K}_{\ell+1}^{r}$ consists of all…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…
We show that the maximum cardinality of an equiangular line system in 14 and 16 dimensions is 28 and 40, respectively, thereby solving a longstanding open problem. We also improve the upper bounds on the cardinality of equiangular line…
In 1975, P. Erd\"{o}s proposed the problem of determining the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in a graph of $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. In this paper, it is proved that $$f(n)\geq n+32t-1$$ for…
Linear codes in the projective space $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$, the set of all subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, were first considered by Braun, Etzion and Vardy. The Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}_q(n,k)$ is the collection of all subspaces…
Almost $50$ years ago Erd\H{o}s and Purdy asked the following question: Given $n$ points in the plane, how many triangles can be approximate congruent to equilateral triangles? They pointed out that by dividing the points evenly into three…
A celebrated result of Alon from 1993 states that any $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices (where $d=O(n^{1/9})$) has a bisection with at most $\frac{dn}{2}(\frac{1}{2}-\Omega(\frac{1}{\sqrt{d}}))$ edges, and this is optimal. Recently, this…
A set of lines through the origin in Euclidean space is called equiangular when any pair of lines from the set intersects with each other at a common angle. We study the maximum size of equiangular lines in Euclidean space and use graph…
In 2023, Greaves et~al.\ constructed several sets of 57 equiangular lines in dimension 18. Using the concept of switching root introduced by Cao et~al.\ in 2021, these sets of equiangular lines are embedded in a lattice of rank 19 spanned…
We apply polynomial techniques (linear programming) to obtain lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of spherical designs as function of their dimension, strength, and cardinality. In terms of inner products we improve the lower…
We consider the problem of finding an optimal piecewise linear path (polygonal line) connecting two given points with the possibility of making n turns at some points (the absolute value of each turn angle does not exceed a prescribed…
We study the maximal number of triangulations that a planar set of $n$ points can have, and show that it is at most $30^n$. This new bound is achieved by a careful optimization of the charging scheme of Sharir and Welzl (2006), which has…
In 2009, Roeglin and Teng showed that the smoothed number of Pareto optimal solutions of linear multi-criteria optimization problems is polynomially bounded in the number $n$ of variables and the maximum density $\phi$ of the semi-random…
In this paper, we first propose a new Levenberg-Marquardt method for solving constrained (and not necessarily square) nonlinear systems. Basically, the method combines the unconstrained Levenberg-Marquardt method with a type of feasible…
In their celebrated paper "On Siegel's Lemma", Bombieri and Vaaler found an upper bound on the height of integer solutions of systems of linear Diophantine equations. Calculating the bound directly, however, requires exponential time. In…
We give a complete conjectural formula for the number $e_r(d,m)$ of maximum possible ${\mathbb{F}}q$-rational points on a projective algebraic variety defined by $r$ linearly independent homogeneous polynomial equations of degree $d$ in…
