Consider a family of graphs having a fixed girth and a large size. We give an optimal lower asymptotic bound on the number of even cycles of any constant length, as the order of the graphs tends to infinity.

The quantity $f(n,r)$, defined as the number of permutations of the set $[n]=\{1,2,... n\}$ whose fixed points sum to $r$, shows a sharp discontinuity in the neighborhood of $r=n$. We explain this discontinuity and study the possible…

Square roots $s$ of sums of $M$ consecutive integer squares starting from $a^{2}\geq1$ are integers if $M\equiv0,9,24$ or $33(mod\,72)$; or $M\equiv1,2$ or $16(mod\,24)$; or $M\equiv11(mod\,12)$ and cannot be integers if $M\equiv3,5,6,7,8$…

We give multiple proofs of two formulas concerning the enumeration of permutations avoiding a monotone consecutive pattern with a certain value for the inverse peak number or inverse left peak number statistic. The enumeration in both cases…

We show that there exist constants $\alpha,\epsilon>0$ such that for every positive integer $n$ there is a continuous odd function $f:S^m\to S^n$, with $m\geq \alpha n$, such that the $\epsilon$-expansion of the image of $f$ does not…

A criterion is obtained for the semi-stability of the isolated singular positive closed solutions, i.e., singular positive limit cycles, of the Abel equation $x'=A(t)x^3+B(t)x^2$, where $A,B$ are smooth functions with two zeros in the…

While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…

In this article, we derive a common fixed point result for a pair of single valued and set-valued mappings on a metric space having graphical structure. In this case, the set-valued map is assumed to be closed valued instead of closed and…

For each positive integer $n$ it is shown how to construct a finite collection of multivariable polynomials $\{F_{i}:=F_{i}(t,X_{1},..., X_{\lfloor \frac{n+1}{2} \rfloor})\}$ such that each positive integer whose squareroot has a continued…

We solve four similar problems: For every fixed $s$ and large $n$, we describe all values of $n_1,\ldots,n_s$ such that for every $2$-edge-coloring of the complete $s$-partite graph $K_{n_1,\ldots,n_s}$ there exists a monochromatic (i)…

In 2022, S.D. Cohen and the two authors introduced and studied the concept of $(r, n)$-freeness on finite cyclic groups $G$ for suitable integers $r, n$, which is an arithmetic way of capturing elements of special forms that lie in the…

For an $n$-by-$n$ matrix $A$, let $f_A$ be its "field of values generating function" defined as $f_A\colon x\mapsto x^*Ax$. We consider two natural versions of the continuity, which we call strong and weak, of $f_A^{-1}$ (which is of course…

Circular permutations on {1,2,...,n} that avoid a given pattern correspond to ordinary (linear) permutations that end with n and avoid all cyclic rotations of the pattern. Three letter patterns are all but unavoidable in circular…

The Fibonacci cube $\Gamma_n$ is the subgraph of the hypercube $Q_n$ induced by vertices with no consecutive $1$s. Recently Jianxin Wei and Yujun Yang introduced a one parameter generalization, Fibonacci $p$-cubes $\Gamma_n^p$, which are…

Corrado B\"ohm once observed that if $Y$ is any fixed point combinator (fpc), then $Y(\lambda yx.x(yx))$ is again fpc. He thus discovered the first "fpc generating scheme" -- a generic way to build new fpcs from old. Continuing this idea,…

This paper is concerned with finite sequences of integers that may be written as sums of squares of two nonzero integers. We first find infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n, n+h$ and $n+k$ are all sums of two squares where $h$ and $k$…

Let $F_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci number. Let $m, n$ be positive integers. Define a sequence $(G(k,n,m))_{k\geq 1}$ by $G(1,n,m) = F^m_n$, and $G(k+1,n,m) = F_{nG(k,n,m)}$ for all $k\geq 1$. We show that $F_n^{k+m-1}\mid G(k,n,m)$ for all…

Let S be a set of 2n+1 points in the plane such that no three are collinear and no four are concyclic. A circle will be called point-splitting if it has 3 points of S on its circumference, n-1 points in its interior and n-1 in its exterior.…

Let $k\ge 2$ and $\{F_n^{(k)}\}_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$--generalized Fibonacci numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,0,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we determine all…

In this paper, we investigate the cycles and fixed point sets of compositions of resolvents using Attouch Th\'era duality. We demonstrate that the cycles defined by the resolvent operators can be formulated in Hilbert space as the solution…
