A combinatorial principle CECA is formulated and its equivalence with GCH+ certain weakenings of Box_lambda for singular lambda is proved. CECA is used to show that certain ``almost point- < tau'' families can be refined to point- < tau…

A partial ordering P is said to have the weak Freese-Nation property (WFN) if there is a mapping f:P ---> [P]^{<= aleph_0} such that, for any a, b in P, if a <= b then there exists c in f(a) cap f(b) such that a <= c <= b. In this note, we…

We study consequences of stationary and semi-stationary set reflection. We show that the semi stationary reflection principle implies the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis, the failure of weak square principle, etc. We also consider two cardinal…

This article is devoted to sets having the Moran structure. The main attention is given to topological, metric, and fractal properties of certain sets whose elements have restrictions on using digits or combinations of digits in own…

Independence of premise principles play an important role in characterizing the modified realizability and the Dialectica interpretations. In this paper we show that a great many intuitionistic set theories are closed under the…

We develop a notion of predicate transformer and, in particular, the weakest precondition, appropriate for quantum computation. We show that there is a Stone-type duality between the usual state-transformer semantics and the weakest…

A graph $G$ has the \emph{strong parity property} if for every subset $X\subseteq V$ with $|X|$ even, $G$ has a spanning subgraph $F$ with minimum degree at least one such that $d_F(v)\equiv 1\pmod 2$ for all $v\in X$, $d_F(y)\equiv 0\pmod…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…

The enumeration of independent sets of regular graphs is of interest in statistical mechanics, as it corresponds to the solution of hard-particle models. In 2004, it was conjectured by Fendleyet al. that for some rectangular grids, with…

Let G=(V,E). A set S is independent if no two vertices from S are adjacent. The number d(X)= |X|-|N(X)| is the difference of X, and an independent set A is critical if d(A) = max{d(I):I is an independent set}. Let us recall that ker(G) is…

We construct a `weak' version EM^w(K) of Lack & Street's 2-category of monads in a 2-category K, by replacing their compatibility constraint of 1-cells with the units of monads by an additional condition on the 2-cells. A relation between…

This thesis concerns embeddings and self-embeddings of foundational structures in both set theory and category theory. The first part of the work on models of set theory consists in establishing a refined version of Friedman's theorem on…

A new notion of independence relation is given and associated to it, the class of flat theories, a subclass of strong stable theories including the superstable ones is introduced. More precisely, after introducing this independence…

Let $(X,T)$ be a topological dynamical system, and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_+$. $(X,T)$ is strongly $\mathcal{F}$-sensitive, if there is $\delta>0$ such that for each non-empty open subset $U$, there are $x,y\in…

The celebrated notion of important separators bounds the number of small $(S,T)$-separators in a graph which are 'farthest from $S$' in a technical sense. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this powerful algorithmic primitive…

For a graph $G$ and partition $\mathcal{U}$ of its vertex set, an independent transversal of $(G, \mathcal{U})$ is an independent set of $G$ that contains one vertex from each block of $\mathcal{U}$. Buys, Kang, and Ozeki studied when a…

For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…

A binary relation defined on a poset is a weakening relation if the partial order acts as a both-sided compositional identity. This is motivated by the weakening rule in sequent calculi and closely related to models of relevance logic. For…

We study the family of intersection graphs of low density objects in low dimensional Euclidean space. This family is quite general, and includes planar graphs. We prove that such graphs have small separators. Next, we present efficient…

In this paper, inspired by the elegant work of Good and Meddaugh \cite{GM} and the graph models for zero-dimensional systems developed by several authors, like Gambaudo and Martens \cite{GM06}, Shimomura \cite{Sh14}. We try to discover a…
