We compute the cardinality $\mathfrak n_{\dim}(\mathcal M)$ of the sets of dimension functions on the ordered structures $\mathcal M$. The inequality $\mathfrak n_{\dim}(\mathcal M) \leq 1$ holds if $\mathcal M$ is a d-minimal expansion of…
This paper studies on the cardinality of perfect multi deletion binary codes. The lower bound for any perfect deletion code with the fixed code length and the number of deletions, and the asymptotic achievable of Levenshtein's upper bound…
In this paper, we study minimal (with respect to inclusion) zero forcing sets. We first investigate when a graph can have polynomially or exponentially many distinct minimal zero forcing sets. We also study the maximum size of a minimal…
The N cardinality k ideals of any w-element poset (w, k variable) can be enumerated in time O(Nw^3). The corresponding bound for k-element subtrees of a w-element tree is O(Nw^5). An algorithm is described that by the use of wildcards…
For a given undirected graph $G$, an \emph{ordered} subset $S = {s_1,s_2,...,s_k} \subseteq V$ of vertices is a resolving set for the graph if the vertices of the graph are distinguishable by their vector of distances to the vertices in…
The principal aim of this paper is to determine the minimal dimension that a nerve of the cover of the sphere S^h by the open sets not containing a pair of antipodal points could have, and also to determine the minimal cardinality of such…
A $(v,k,t)$ packing of size $b$ is a system of $b$ subsets (blocks) of a $v$-element underlying set such that each block has $k$ elements and every $t$-set is contained in at most one block. $P(v,k,t)$ stands for the maximum possible $b$. A…
We investigate the partial orderings of the form (P(X),\subset), where X is a countable binary relational structure and P(X) the set of the domains of its isomorphic substructures and show that if the components of X are maximally…
A collection of linear orders on $X$, say $\mathcal{L}$, is said to \emph{realize} a partially ordered set (or poset) $\mathcal{P} = (X, \preceq)$ if, for any two distinct $x,y \in X$, $x \preceq y$ if and only if $x \prec_L y$, $\forall L…
Fix a positive integer X. We quantify the cardinality of the set $\{\lfloor X/n \rfloor\}_{n=1}^X$. We discuss restricting the set to those elements that are prime, semiprime or similar.
The sum-product conjecture of Erd\H os and Szemer\'edi states that, given a finite set $A$ of positive numbers, one can find asymptotic lower bounds for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$ of the order of $|A|^{1+\delta}$ for every $\delta <1$. In…
For a graph property $\mathcal{P}$ and a common vertex set $V = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, a family of graphs on $V$ is \emph{$\mathcal{P}$-intersecting} iff $G \cap H$ satisfies $\mathcal{P}$ for all $G,H$ in the family. Addressing a question…
This work is concerned with approximating constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with an additional global cardinality constraints. For example, \maxcut is a boolean CSP where the input is a graph $G = (V,E)$ and the goal is to find a cut…
Let G be a graph with a perfect matching. A complete forcing set of G is a subset of edges of G to which the restriction of every perfect matching is a forcing set of it. The complete forcing number of G is the minimum cardinality of…
Incomplete pairwise comparison matrices offer a natural way of expressing preferences in decision making processes. Although ordinal information is crucial, there is a bias in the literature: cardinal models dominate. Ordinal models usually…
New sets (typically found by computer search) with Sidon constant equal to the square root of their cardinalities are given. For each integer $N$ there are only a finite number of groups of prime order containing $N$-element extreme sets.…
We consider the classical problem of determining the largest possible cardinality of a minimal presentation of a numerical monoid with given embedding dimension and multiplicity. Very few values of this cardinality are known. In addressing…
A maximal geodesic in a graph is a geodesic (alias shortest path) which is not a subpath of a longer geodesic. The geodesic-transversal problem in a graph $G$ is introduced as the task to find a smallest set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that…
We obtain tight bounds for the minimal number of generators of an ideal with bounded-degree generators in a polynomial ring $K[X_1,\dots,X_n],$ as well as a sharp quantification of the maximum possible size of a minimal generating set of…
