The Rearrangement Conjecture states that if two words over $\mathbb{P}$ are Wilf-equivalent in the factor order on $\mathbb{P}^\ast$ then they are rearrangements of each other. We introduce the notion of strong Wilf-equivalence and prove…

For every $\tau\in\mathbb{R}$ and every integer $N$, let $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau)$ be the minimum of the distance of $\tau$ from the sums $\sum_{n=1}^N s_n/n$, where $s_1, \ldots, s_n \in \{-1, +1\}$. We prove that $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau) <…

We consider equations of the form $-L_\mu u +f(u)=0$ in a smooth domain $\Omega$, where $L_\mu=\Delta + \mu\delta^{-2}$ and $\delta(x)$ denotes the distance of the point $x$ to the boundary of the domain. The nonlinear term $f$ is positive,…

We force $2^\lambda$ to be large and for many pairs in the interval $(\lambda,2^\lambda)$ a stronger version of the polarized partition relations hold. We apply this toproblem in general topology

The Thue-Morse sequence (1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, ...) can in a sense be naturally extended to a continuous function f called the Fabius function. It is shown how to determine the exact value of f(x) whenever x is the ratio between a…

In this paper we characterize the degenerate elliptic equations F(D^2u)=0 whose viscosity subsolutions, (F(D^2u) \geq 0), satisfy the strong maximum principle. We introduce an easily computed function f(t) for t > 0, determined by F, and we…

We prove, when $S$ is a $2$-group of order at most $2^9$, that each reduced fusion system over $S$ is the fusion system of a finite simple group and is tame. It then follows that each saturated fusion system over a $2$-group of order at…

Let $A$ and $B$ be additive sets of $\mathbb{Z}_{2k}$, where $A$ has cardinality $k$ and $B=v.\complement A$ with $v\in\mathbb{Z}_{2k}^{\times}$. In this note some bounds for the cardinality of $A+B$ are obtained, using four different…

Topologies $\tau , \sigma \in \mathop{{\mathrm{Top}}}\nolimits _X$ are bijectively related, in notation $\tau \sim \sigma$, if there are continuous bijections $f: (X, \tau )\rightarrow (X, \sigma )$ and $g: (X, \sigma)\rightarrow (X,…

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…

The relations M(kappa,lambda,mu)->B [resp. B(sigma)] meaning that if A subset [kappa]^lambda with |A|=kappa is mu-almost disjoint then A has property B [resp. has a sigma-transversal] had been introduced and studied under GCH by Erdos and…

In this paper we address a problem posed by Shelah in 1999 to find a suitable notion for superstability for abstract elementary classes in which limit models of cardinality $\mu$ are saturated. Theorem 1. Suppose that $\mathcal{K}$ is a…

We continue our study of the Widom factors for $L_p(\mu)$ extremal polynomials initiated in [4]. In this work we characterize sets for which the lower bounds obtained in [4] are saturated, establish continuity of the Widom factors with…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A positive integer $n$ is said to be $2$-near perfect when $\sigma(n)=2n+d_1+d_2$, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are distinct positive divisors of $n$. We show that there are no odd…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A number $n$ is said to be 2-near perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2n +d_1 +d_2 $, where $d_1$ and $d_2$ are distinct positive divisors of $n$. We give a complete description of those $n$…

A property of prefix codes called strong monotonicity is introduced, and it is proven that for a given source, a prefix code is optimal if and only if it is complete and strongly monotone.

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a connected graph. A probability measure $\mu$ on $V$ is called "balanced" if it has the following property: if $T_\mu(v)$ denotes the "earth mover's" cost of transporting all the mass of $\mu$ from all over the graph to…

We prove several results giving lower bounds for the large cardinal strength of a failure of the singular cardinal hypothesis. The main result is the following theorem: Theorem: Suppose $\kappa$ is a singular strong limit cardinal and…
