We show that the secrecy function conjecture that states that the maximum of the secrecy function of an $l$-modular lattice occurs at $1/\sqrt{l}$ is false, by proving that the 4-modular lattice $C^(4) = \mathbb{Z} \oplus \sqrt{2}\mathbb{Z}…
It is shown, subject to the abc-conjecture, that \[\sum_{n\le N}\exp(2\pi i\alpha n^3)\ll_{\epsilon,\alpha}N^{5/7+\epsilon}\] for any $\epsilon>0$ and any quadratic irrational $\alpha$.
In this paper, we prove $\text{ex}(n, C_{2k})\le (16\sqrt{5}\sqrt{k\log k} + o(1))\cdot n^{1+1/k}$. We improved on Bukh--Jiang's method used in their 2017 publication, thereby reducing the best known upper bound by a factor of $\sqrt{5\log…
This paper explores the relationship between convexity and sum sets. In particular, we show that elementary number theoretical methods, principally the application of a squeezing principle, can be augmented with the Elekes-Szab\'{o} Theorem…
Given a simple connected graph on $N$ vertices with size $|E|$ and degree sequence $d_{1}\leq d_{2}\leq ...\leq d_{N}$, the aim of this paper is to exhibit new upper and lower bounds for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index in closed forms,…
Write $\mathbf{A}_\lambda$ for what might be described as the most elementary nontrivial inverse system of abelian groups indexed by the functions from the cardinal $\lambda$ to the set of natural numbers. The question of whether for any…
Let $V$ be a finite dimensional inner product space over $\mathbb{R}$ with dimension $n$, where $n\in \mathbb{N}$, $\wedge^{r}V$ be the exterior algebra of $V$, the problem is to find $\max_{\| \xi \| = 1, \| \eta \| = 1}\| \xi \wedge \eta…
We continue investigating variants of the splitting and reaping numbers introduced in arXiv:1808.02442. In particular, answering a question raised there, we prove the consistency of $\mathrm{cof}(\mathcal{M})<\mathfrak{s}_{\frac{1}{2}}$ and…
We provide a novel upper-bound on Witsenhausen's rate, the rate required in the zero-error analogue of the Slepian-Wolf problem; our bound is given in terms of a new information-theoretic functional defined on a certain graph. We then use…
A particle in the H\'enon-Heiles potential can escape when its energy is above the threshold value $E_{th}={1/6}$. We report a theoretical study on the the escape rates near threshold. We derived an analytic formula for the escape rate as a…
We consider the Cauchy problem for non-autonomous forms inducing elliptic operators in divergence form with Dirichlet, Neumann, or mixed boundary conditions on an open subset $\Omega$ $\subseteq$ R n. We obtain maximal regularity in L 2…
We calculate, using numerical methods, the Lyapounov exponent gamma(E) and the density of states rho(E) at energy E of a one-dimensional non-Hermitian Schroedinger equation with off-diagonal disorder. For the particular case we consider,…
We give a direct derivation of the distribution of the maximum and the location of the maximum of one-sided and two-sided Brownian motion with a negative parabolic drift. The argument uses a relation between integrals of special functions,…
We consider the behaviour of the Fisher information of scaled sums of independent and identically distributed random variables in the Central Limit Theorem regime. We show how this behaviour can be related to the second-largest non-trivial…
We take a sum $C_1+r C_2,\ r\in\mathbb Q$ of a line $C_1$ and a complete intersection curve $C_2$ of type $(3,3)$ inside a smooth surface of degree $8$ and with $C_1\cap C_2=\emptyset$. We gather evidences to the fact that for all except a…
In this paper we use the Recursion Theorem to show the existence of various infinite sequences and sets. Our main result is that there is an increasing sequence e_0, e_1, e_2 .. such that W_{e_n}={e_{n+1}} for every n. Similarly, we prove…
For a regular uncountable cardinal kappa, we discuss the order relationship between the unbounding and dominating numbers on kappa and cardinal invariants of the higher meager ideal M_kappa. In particular, we obtain a complete…
Let $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ be a numerical semigroup with multiplicity $m$, embedding dimension $\nu$ and conductor $c=f+1=qm-\rho$ for some $q,\rho\in\mathbb{N}$ with $\rho<m$. Let Ap$(S,m) = \{w\_0<w_1 < \ldots < w_{m-1}\}$ be the Ap\'ery…
We intend to contribute to the Collatz dynamics problem by seeking to analyze the Collatz conjecture from the tree of numbers sequences. First, we show numerically that the distribution of odd numbers has an initial transient, and proceeds…
This dissertation surveys several topics in the general areas of iterated forcing, infinite combinatorics and set theory of the reals. There are two parts. In the first half I consider alternative versions of the Cicho\'n diagram. First I…
