We prove the computability of a version of Whitney Extension, when the input is suitably represented. More specifically, if $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is a closed set represented so that the distance function $x \mapsto d(x,F)$ can be…

Given $T\subset\mathbb{R}$ and a metric space $M$, we introduce a nondecreasing sequence of pseudometrics $\{\nu_n\}$ on $M^T$ (the set of all functions from $T$ into $M$), called the \emph{joint modulus of variation}. We prove that if two…

We consider the variable selection problem in linear regression. Suppose that we have a set of random variables $X_1,...,X_m,Y,\epsilon$ such that $Y=\sum_{k\in \pi}\alpha_kX_k+\epsilon$ with $\pi\subseteq \{1,...,m\}$ and $\alpha_k\in…

Let c(F) be the number of perfect pairs of F and c(G) be the maximum of c(F) over all (near-) one-factorizations F of G. Wagner showed that for odd n, c(K_{n}) \geq n*phi(n)/2 and for m and n which are odd and co-prime to each other,…

Let $S= \{ p_1, \ldots, p_s\}$ be a finite, non-empty set of distinct prime numbers and $(U_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of integers of order $r$. For any positive integer $k,$ we define $(U_j^{(k)})_{j\geq 1}$ an…

For any $m \geq 1$, let $H_m$ denote the quantity $H_m := \liminf_{n \to \infty} (p_{n+m}-p_n)$, where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\operatorname{th}}$ prime; thus for instance the twin prime conjecture is equivalent to the assertion that $H_1$ is…

Let $l$ be a finite field of cardinality $q$ and let $n$ be in $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$. Let $f_1,\ldots,f_n \in l[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ not all constant and consider the evaluation map $f=(f_1,\ldots,f_n) \colon l^n \to l^n$. Set…

We study the power sum problem max_{v=1,...,m} | sum_{k=1}^n z_k^v | and by using features of Fejer kernels we give new lower bounds in the case of unimodular complex numbers z_k and m cn^2 for constants c>1.

For positive integers $n$ and $m$, consider a multiset of non-empty subsets of $[m]$ such that there is a \textit{unique} partition of these subsets into $n$ partitions of $[m]$. We study the maximum possible size $g(n,m)$ of such a…

Here, we give upper and lower bounds on the count of positive integers $n\le x$ dividing the $n$th term of a nondegenerate linearly recurrent sequence with simple roots.

We consider representations of the free group $F_2$ on two generators such that the norm of the sum of the generators and their inverses is bounded by $\mu\in[0,4]$. These $\mu$-constrained representations determine a C*-algebra $A_{\mu}$…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional local commutative algebra over $R$, $\dim_RA=n$. In this work we consider compact manifolds over $A$, and prove that the real part of an $A$-differentiable function is constant. Also we find estimates for the…

We investigate matrix models in three dimensions where the global $\text{SU}(N)$ symmetry acts via the adjoint map. Analyzing their ground state which is homogeneous in space and can carry either a unique or multiple fixed charges, we show…

We show that every non-decreasing function $f\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ bounded from above by $a^n$ for some $a\ge 1$ can be realized (up to a natural equivalence) as the conjugacy growth function of a finitely generated group. We also…

Let $ T\colon[0,1]^d\to [0,1]^d $ be a piecewise expanding map with an absolutely continuous invariant measure $ \mu $. Let $ \{H_n\} $ be a sequence of hyperrectangles or hyperboloids centered at the origin. Denote by $ \mathcal R(\{H_n\})…

Let $R(G)$ be the two-colour Ramsey number of a graph $G$. In this note, we prove that for any non-decreasing function $n \leq f(n) \leq R(K_n)$, there exists a sequence of connected graphs $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$, with $|V(G_n)| = n$ for…

A sequence is called $C$-finite if it satisfies a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We study sequences which satisfy a linear recurrence with $C$-finite coefficients. Recently, it was shown that such $C^2$-finite sequences…

In this paper, we study sums of shifted products $\sum\limits_{n \leq x} F(n) G(n-h)$ for any $|h| \leq x/2$ and arithmetic functions $F=f*1$ and $G=g*1$, with $f$ and $g$ small. We obtain asymptotic formula for different orders of…

We study the set $\mathcal{L}_{F}$ of all $F$-vector spaces $L(P)$ where $P$ is monic and splits over $F$ and $L(Q)$ denotes the set of linear recurrence sequences over $F$ with characteristic polynomial $Q$. We show that $\mathcal{L}_{F}$…

Let $CH(R)$ denote the family of characteristic functions of probability measures (distributions) on the real line $R$. We study the following question: given an integer $n>1$, do there exist two different $f, g\in CH(R)$ such that $…
