A new notion of thickness for subsets of $B[0,1]\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ called affine thickness is defined; this notion of thickness is a generalisation of Falconer-Yavicoli thickness and is adapted to be used in the study of certain sets…

For a subset $A$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,N\}^2$ of size $\alpha N^2$ we show existence of $(m,n)\neq(0,0)$ such that the set $A$ contains at least $(\alpha^3 - o(1))N^2$ triples of points of the form $(a,b)$, $(a+m,b+n)$, $(a-n,b+m)$. This answers…

A cap set in projective or affine geometry over a finite field is a set of points no three of which are collinear. In this paper, we propose a new construction for complete cap sets that yields a cap set of size 124928 in the affine…

We provide an upper bound of the size of a subset A of F_p^n that does not admit a k-star of 3-APs (three-term arithmetic progressions). Namely, the subset A is assumed to contain no configuration of k 3-APs, sharing the middle term, such…

The Ramsey Choice principle for families of $n$-element sets, denoted $\mathrm{RC}_n$, states that every infinite set $X$ has an infinite subset $Y\subseteq X$ with a choice function on $[Y]^n := \{z\subseteq Y : |z| = n\}$. We investigate…

Let $\mathcal{I}$ be an analytic P-ideal [respectively, a summable ideal] on the positive integers and let $(x_n)$ be a sequence taking values in a metric space $X$. First, it is shown that the set of ideal limit points of $(x_n)$ is an…

Sets with many additive quadruples are guaranteed to have many additive octuples, by H\"{o}lder's inequality. Sets with not many more than this are said to be additively nonsmoothing. We give a new proof of a structural theorem for…

We prove in Theorem $2.2$ that the multiplicatively closed subset generated by at most two elements in the set of natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ has arbitrarily large gaps by explicitly constructing large integer intervals with known prime…

An old problem of Moser asks: how large of a union-free subfamily does every family of m sets have? A family of sets is called union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to…

We give a short proof that Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture implies that for every $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a $(3/2^{2/3} + \varepsilon)^n$-time algorithm for set cover on a universe of size $n$ with sets of bounded size. This…

A (discrete) group is called amenable whenever there exists a finitely additive right invariant probablity measure on it. For Thompson's group $F$ the problem whether it is amenable is a long-standing open question. We consider presentation…

We show that every planar triangulation on $n>10$ vertices has a dominating set of size $n/7=n/3.5$. This approaches the $n/4$ bound conjectured by Matheson and Tarjan [MT'96], and improves significantly on the previous best bound of…

An accessing set in a graph is a subset B of vertices such that there exists D subset of B, such that each vertex of V\B has an even number of neighbors in D. In this paper, we introduce new bounds on the minimal size kappa'(G) of an…

In this paper, we introduce the nonstandard vector space in which the concept of additive inverse element will not be taken into account. We also consider a metric defined on this nonstandard vector space. Under these settings, the…

A set-system $S\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is cube-ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential…

A set of integers is sum-free if it contains no solution to the equation $x+y=z$. We study sum-free subsets of the set of integers $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$ for which the integer $2n+1$ cannot be represented as a sum of their elements. We prove…
