We obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of maximal (under inclusion) independent sets in trees with fixed number of vertices and diameter. All extremal trees are described up to isomorphism.

A subset of the positive integers is dynamically central syndetic if it contains the times that a point returns to a neighborhood of itself in a minimal topological dynamical system. These sets are part of the highly-influential link…

We describe the ind- and pro- categories of the category of definable sets, in some first order theory, in terms of points in a sufficiently saturated model.

Splines are central objects for the interpolation of discrete data via piecewise smooth paths. Their iterated-integral signature is an infinite collection of tensors which characterizes paths almost uniquely. We study truncations of this…

Let $\alpha(n)$ denote the number of perfect square permutations in the symmetric group $S_n$. The conjecture $\alpha(2n+1) = (2n+1) \alpha(2n)$, provided by Stanley[4], was proved by Blum[1] using a generating function. This paper presents…

Let $A = \{a_1, \ldots, a_k\}$ be a nonempty finite subset of an additive abelian group $G$. For a nonnegative integer $h$, the \emph{$h$-fold signed sumset} of $A$, denoted by $h_{\pm} A$, is defined by $$ h_{\pm} A = \Biggl\{\sum_{i =…

We define a class of so-called thinnable ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers which includes several well-known examples, e.g., the collection of sets with zero asymptotic density, sets with zero logarithmic density, and several…

In the 1980's Serre asked how many points of bounded height can lie in a thin set. This has motivated significant research ever since, culminating in a series of recent breakthroughs. It is a good time to take stock of the central questions…

Let A be a set of integers dense in a finite interval. We establish upper and lower bounds for the longest regularly-spaced and convex subsets of A and of A-A.

A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…

We introduce two-dimensional tensor network representations of finite groups carrying a 4-cocycle index. We characterize the associated gapped (2+1)D phases that emerge when these anomalous symmetries act on tensor network ground states. We…

By using nonstandard analysis, we prove embeddability properties of difference sets $A-B$ of sets of integers. (A set $A$ is "embeddable" into $B$ if every finite configuration of $A$ has shifted copies in $B$.) As corollaries of our main…

In this paper, we will introduce Bell numbers $D(n)$ of type $D$ as an analogue to the classical Bell numbers related to all the partitions of the set $[n]$. Then based on a signed set partition of type $D$, we will construct the recurrence…

The set D of distinct signed degrees of the vertices in a signed graph G is called its signed degree set. In this paper, we prove that every non-empty set of positive (negative) integers is the signed degree set of some connected signed…

In this paper we give an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed by Danny Neftin, that is, if the commutator of two permutations has at least n-4 fixed points where two permutations are in degree n symmetric group, then there exists a…

Understanding the metric structure of permutation families is fundamental to combinatorics and has applications in social choice theory, bioinformatics, and coding theory. We study permutation families defined by restriction…

Stanley introduced in 1986 the order polytope and the chain polytope for a given finite poset. These polytopes contain much information about the poset and have given rise to important examples in polyhedral geometry. In 1993, Reiner…

We derive the optimal signed variable in general case kernels for the classical statistic density estimation, which are some generalization of the famous Epanechnikov's ones.

Using a result of Gessel and Reutenauer, we find a simple formula for the number of cyclic permutations with a given descent set, by expressing it in terms of ordinary descent numbers (i.e., those counting all permutations with a given…

Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…
