We show that any total preorder on a set with $\binom{n}{2}$ elements coincides with the order on pairwise distances of some point collection of size $n$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n-1}$. For linear orders, a collection of $n$ points in…
Order types are a well known abstraction of combinatorial properties of a point set. By Mn\"ev's universality theorem for each semi-algebraic set $V$ there is an order type with a realization space that is \emph{stably equivalent} to $V$.…
In the paper, we describe all total orders $\succ$ compatible with addition on additive subsemigroup $S$ of finite dimensional spaces over rational numbers. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition under which a finitely generated…
A rational distance set is a subset of the plane such that the distance between any two points is a rational number. We show, assuming Lang's Conjecture, that the cardinalities of rational distance sets in general position are uniformly…
In this article we consider questions related to the behavior of the moments $M_{m}\left( \left\{ z_{j}\right\} \right) $ when the indices are restricted to specific subsequences of integers, such as the even or odd moments. If $n\geq2$ we…
We isolate conditions on the relative size of sets of natural numbers $A,B$ that guarantee a nonempty intersection $\Delta(A)\cap\Delta(B)\ne\emptyset$ of the corresponding sets of distances. Such conditions apply to a large class of zero…
We consider positively supported Borel measures for which all moments exist. On the set of compactly supported measures in this class a partial order is defined via eventual dominance of the moment sequences. Special classes are identified…
We study the problem of finding a triangulation T of a planar point set S such as to minimize the expected distance between two points x and y chosen uniformly at random from S. By distance we mean the length of the shortest path between x…
The notion of unboundedly order converges has been recieved recently a particular attention by several authors. The main result of the present paper shows that the notion is efficient and deserves that care. It states that a vector lattice…
We show that the first order theory of the lattice of open sets in some natural topological spaces is $m$-equivalent to second order arithmetic. We also show that for many natural computable metric spaces and computable domains the first…
An old question posed by Erd\H{o}s asked whether there exists a set of $n$ points such that $c \cdot n$ distances occur more than $n$ times. We provide an affirmative answer to this question, showing that there exists a set of $n$ points…
Selfridge asked to investigate the pairs $(m,n)$ of natural numbers for which $2^m - 2^n$ divides $x^m - x^n$ for all integers $x.$ This question was answered by different mathematicians by showing that there are only finitely many such…
We introduce a first-order theory of finite full binary trees and then identify decidable and undecidable fragments of this theory. We show that the analogue of Hilbert`s 10th Problem is undecidable by constructing a many-to-one reduction…
We first introduce the Hamming distance between two strings. Then, we apply this concept to the representations of whole numbers in base n for all positive integers n > 2. We claim that a simple formula exists for the sum of all Hamming…
Let $\mathcal{OP}_n$ be the monoid of all orientation-preserving full transformations on $X_n=\{1,\dots, n\}$ with the natural order. For $\alpha \in \mathcal{OP}_n$, let $F(\alpha)=\{y\in X_n: y\alpha=y\}$ and…
Common meadows are commutative and associative algebraic structures with two operations (addition and multiplication) with additive and multiplicative identities and for which inverses are total. The inverse of zero is an error term…
Let ${\cal T}_n$ be the full symmetric semigroup on $X_n = \{1, 2,..., n\}$ and let ${\cal OCT}_n$ and ${\cal ORCT}_n$ be its subsemigroups of order-preserving and order-preserving or order-reversing full contraction mappings of $X_n$,…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
Let $m\ge3$ be an integer. The polygonal numbers of order $m+2$ are given by $p_{m+2}(n)=m\binom n2+n$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. A famous claim of Fermat proved by Cauchy asserts that each nonnegative integer is the sum of $m+2$ polygonal numbers…
In 1984, Plesn\'{i}k determined the minimum total distance for given order and diameter and characterized the extremal graphs and digraphs. We prove the analog for given order and radius, when the order is sufficiently large compared to the…
