Suppose that a continuous on the real axis $2\pi$-periodic function $f$ changes its convexity at $2s,\ s\in\Bbb N,$ points $y_i$ on each period: $-\pi\le y_{2s}<y_{2s-1}<...<y_1<\pi,$ and for the rest $i\in\Bbb Z,$ the points $y_i$ are…

For $n\ge 6$ let $V=\{v_0,v_1,\ldots,v_{n-1}\}$, $E_1=\{v_0v_1,\ldots,v_0v_{n-4},v_1v_{n-3},v_1v_{n-2}$, $v_1v_{n-1}\}$, $E_2=\{v_0v_1,\ldots,v_0v_{n-4},v_1v_{n-3},v_1v_{n-2},v_2v_{n-1}\}$, $E_3=\{v_0v_1,\ldots,v_0v_{n-4}$,…

Let $A$ be a random $m\times n$ matrix over the finite field $F_q$ with precisely $k$ non-zero entries per row and let $y\in F_q^m$ be a random vector chosen independently of $A$. We identify the threshold $m/n$ up to which the linear…

The max-plus algebra $\mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty \}$ is defined in terms of a combination of the following two operations: addition, $a \oplus b := \max(a,b)$, and multiplication, $a \otimes b := a + b$. In this study, we propose a new method…

We prove that the Smith forms of the powers of an integer square matrix behave in an eventually periodic manner. More precisely, if $\mathrm{SF}(M)$ denotes the Smith form of $M \in \Z^{m \times m}$, then for every $A \in \Z^{m \times m}$…

We determine sufficient conditions for certain classes of $(n+k) \times n$ matrices $E$ to have all order-$n$ minors to be nonzero. For a special class of $(n+1) \times n$ matrices $E,$ we give the formula for the order-$n$ minors. As an…

Given $N$ positive integers $a_1, ..., a_N$ with $\gcd(a_1, ..., a_N)=1$, let $f_N$ denote the largest natural number which is not a positive integer combination of $a_1, ..., a_N$. This paper gives an optimal lower bound for $f_N$ in terms…

This paper extends the work done by Angela Siegel on subtraction games in which the subtraction set is N \ X for some finite set X. Siegel proves that for any finite set X, the G-sequence is ultimately arithmetic periodic, and that if |X| =…

Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the Tur\'{a}n number $ex(n, \mathcal{F})$ denotes the maximum number of edges in any $\mathcal{F}$-free graph on $n$ vertices. Recently, Alon and Frankl studied of maximum number of edges in an…

The infinite numbers of the set M of finite and infinite natural numbers are defined starting from the sequence 0\Phi, where 0 is the first natural number, \Phi is a succession of symbols S and xS is the successor of the natural number x.…

We give the distribution of $M_n$, the maximum of a sequence of $n$ observations from a moving average of order 1. Solutions are first given in terms of repeated integrals and then for the case where the underlying independent random…

Let $f_{c,d}(x)=x^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[x]$. The $c_0$ values for which $f_{c_0,d}$ has a strictly pre-periodic finite critical orbit are called Misiurewicz points. Any Misiurewicz point lies in $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$. Suppose that the Misiurewicz…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_k \colon {\bf Z} \to {\bf Z}$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ for some $d \geq 1$, with the degree $d$ coefficients all distinct, and admissible in the sense that for every prime $p$, there exists integers $n,m$ such…

We study the topic of "extremal" planar graphs, defining $\mathrm{ex_{_{\mathcal{P}}}}(n,H)$ to be the maximum number of edges possible in a planar graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a given graph $H$ as a subgraph. In…

Recently de Thanhoffer de V\"olcsey and Van den Bergh classified the Euler forms on a free abelian group of rank 4 having the properties of the Euler form of a smooth projective surface. There are two types of solutions: one corresponding…

We denote the number of distinct topologies which can be defined on a set $X$ with $n$ elements by $T(n)$. Similarly, $T_0(n)$ denotes the number of distinct $T_0$ topologies on the set $X$. In the present paper, we prove that for any prime…

Criteria for the existence of $T$-periodic solutions of nonautonomous parabolic equation $u_t = \Delta u + f(t,x,u)$, $x\in\mathbb{R}^N$, $t>0$ with asymptotically linear $f$ will be provided. It is expressed in terms of time average…

This paper studies the largest cycles consisted by the quadratic residues modulo prime numbers. We give some formulae about the maximum length of the cycles. Especially, the formula for modulo Fermat primes is given.
