Let $\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{i=1}^{m}$ be a collection of pairs of sets with $|A_i|=a$ and $|B_i|=b$ for $1\leq i\leq m$. Suppose that $A_i\cap B_j=\emptyset$ if and only if $i=j$, then by the famous Bollob\'{a}s theorem, we have the size of this…

We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…

We describe structure of quasihomomorphisms from arbitrary groups to discrete groups. We show that all quasihomomorphisms are 'constructible', i.e., are obtained via certain natural operations from homomorphisms to some groups and…

For $h=3$ and $h=4$ we prove the existence of infinite $B_h$ sequences $\B$ with counting function $$\mathcal{B}(x)= x^{\sqrt{(h-1)^2+1}-(h-1) + o(1)}.$$ This result extends a construction of I. Ruzsa for $B_2$ sequences.

A more sums than differences (MSTD) set is a finite subset S of the integers such that |S+S| > |S-S|. We construct a new dense family of MSTD subsets of {0, 1, 2, ..., n-1}. Our construction gives Theta(2^n/n) MSTD sets, improving the…

Let $A=\{a_{1},\ldots,a_{k}\}$ be a nonempty finite subset of an additive abelian group $G$. For a positive integer $h$, the restricted $h$-fold signed sumset of $A$, denoted by $h^{\wedge}_{\pm}A$, is defined as $$h^{\wedge}_{\pm}A =…

Let $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ be the set of all ordinary Dirichlet series $D=\sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ representing bounded holomorphic functions on the right half plane. A multiplicative sequence $(b_n)$ of complex numbers is said to be an…

We study relations between subsets of integers that are large, where large can be interpreted in terms of size (such as a set of positive upper density or a set with bounded gaps) or in terms of additive structure (such as a Bohr set). Bohr…

The kth finite subset space of a topological space X is the space exp_k X of non-empty finite subsets of X of size at most k, topologised as a quotient of X^k. The construction is a homotopy functor and may be regarded as a union of…

In this paper our main theorem states the following, Main Theorem : Let B denote the polynomial ring D[x1,.... ,xn] , in the commuting indeterminates x i over a division ring D . Let M be a finitely generated B-module . Let B m denote the…

We consider the question of the largest possible combinatorial diameter among $(d-1)$-dimensional simplicial complexes on $n$ vertices, denoted $H_s(n, d)$. Using a probabilistic construction we give a new lower bound on $H_s(n, d)$ that is…

A sequence of non-negative integers is called a B_k sequence if all the sums of arbitrary k elements are different. In this paper, we will present a new estimation for the upper bound of B_k sequences.

A subset $E$ of a discrete abelian group is called $\epsilon $-Kronecker if all $E$-functions of modulus one can be approximated to within $\epsilon$ by characters. $E$ is called a Sidon set if all bounded $E$-functions can be interpolated…

This paper is a continuation of the paper "Numerical Semigroups: Ap\'ery Sets and Hilbert Series". We consider the general numerical AA-semigroup, i.e., semigroups consisting of all non-negative integer linear combinations of relatively…

A $t\text{-}(n,k,\lambda;q)$-design is a set of $k$-subspaces, called blocks, of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over the finite field with $q$ elements such that each $t$-subspace is contained in exactly $\lambda$ blocks. A partition…

A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) set is a set of integers A contained in {0, ..., n-1} whose sumset A+A is larger than its difference set A-A. While it is known that as n tends to infinity a positive percentage of subsets of {0, ...,…

We give a brief account of a construction called tokens here, which is significant in algebra, analysis, combinatorics, and physics. Tokens allow to express a semigroup on one set via a semigroup convolution on another set. Therefore tokens…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of Hausdorff topological semigroups which contains all zero-dimensional Hausdorff topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in each topological semigroup $Y\in…

Sequences that are defined by multisums of hypergeometric terms with compact support occur frequently in enumeration problems of combinatorics, algebraic geometry and perturbative quantum field theory. The standard recipe to study the…

The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…
