Talagrand conjectured that if a family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ over $X = \{ 1,2,\cdots, N \}$ is of large measure, then constant times of unions of sets in $\mathcal{F}$ will cover a large portion of the power set of $X$. This conjecture is a…
A family of subsets of the set {1,2,...,n} is said to be unbalanced if the convex hull of its characteristic vectors misses the diagonal in the n-cube.The purpose of this article is to develop the combinatorics of maximal unbalanced…
We say that a family of $k$-subsets of an $n$-element set is {\it intersecting}, if any two of its sets intersect. In this paper, we study the structure of large intersecting families. Several years ago, Han and Kohayakawa (Proc. AMS,…
We present an abstract framework for asymptotic analysis of convergence based on the notions of eventual families of sets that we define. A family of subsets of a given set is called here an "eventual family" if it is upper hereditary with…
The Collatz Conjecture's connection to dynamical systems opens it to a variety of techniques aimed at recurrence and density results. First, we turn to density results and strengthen the result of Terras through finding a strict rate of…
In this paper, we obtain some new results on closed subschemes. Specially, we define natural addition and multiplication on the closed subschemes of a scheme. It is shown that "the multiplication" precisely coincides with the well known…
We introduce two families of inequalities. Large ensemble decoupling is connected to the continuous restriction phenomenon. Tight decoupling is connected to the discrete Restriction conjecture for the sphere. Our investigation opens new…
Whitehead aspherical conjecture says that every connected subcomplex of every aspherical 2-complex is aspherical. By an argument on ribbon sphere-links, it is confirmed that the conjecture is true for every contractible finite 2-complex. In…
The aim of this short research note is to present some results about a conjecture of Barker and Gelvin claiming that any source algebra of a block of a finite group has the unit group containing a basis stabilised by the left and right…
Tree convex sets refer to a collection of sets such that each set in the collection is a subtree of a tree whose nodes are the elements of these sets. They extend the concept of row convex sets each of which is an interval over a total…
Let $H$ be a commutative semigroup with unit element such that every non-unit can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (atoms). For every $k \in \mathbb N$, let $\mathscr U_k (H)$ denote the set of all $\ell \in \mathbb N$…
A brief introduction to the theory of ordered sets and lattice theory is given. To illustrate proof techniques in the theory of ordered sets, a generalization of a conjecture of Daykin and Daykin, concerning the structure of posets that can…
We say the sets of nonnegative integers A and B are additive complements if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. In this paper we prove a conjecture of Chen and Fang about additive complement of a finite set.
The variation distance closure of an exponential family with a convex set of canonical parameters is described, assuming no regularity conditions. The tools are the concepts of convex core of a measure and extension of an exponential…
We present a new fragment of axiomatic set theory for pure sets and for the iteration of power sets within given transitive sets. It turns out that this formal system admits an interesting hierarchy of models with true membership relation…
Let F be a finite union-closed family of sets whose largest set contains n elements. In \cite{Wojcik92}, Wojcik defined the density of F to be the ratio of the average set size of F to n and conjectured that the minimum density over all…
Mathematicians tend to use the phrase "arbitrarily close" to mean something along the lines of "every neighborhood of a point intersects a set". Taking the latter statement as a technical definition for arbitrarily close leads to an…
The cumulative hierarchy conception of set, which is based on the conception that sets are inductively generated from "former" sets, is generally considered a good way to create a set conception that seems safe from contradictions. This…
The problem of selecting a small, yet high quality subset of patterns from a larger collection of itemsets has recently attracted lot of research. Here we discuss an approach to this problem using the notion of decomposable families of…
We summarize some facts on chains (totally ordered sets), from an order-theoretic and from a topological point of view. We highlight the fact that many classical theorems that are true for partially ordered sets under some completeness…
