Let $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ be finite. We quantitatively improve the Balog-Wooley decomposition, that is $A$ can be partitioned into sets $B$ and $C$ such that $$\max\{E^+(B) , E^{\times}(C)\} \lesssim |A|^{3 - 7/26}, \ \ \max \{E^+(B,A) ,…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be a palindrome in base $b$ (or $b$-adic palindrome) if the representation of $n = (a_k a_{k-1} \cdots a_0)_b$ in base $b$ with $a_k \neq 0$ has the symmetric property $a_{k-i} = a_i$ for every…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. From an optimization point of view, one could instead…

This paper introduces a new method to find the next prime number after a given prime ${P}$. The proposed method is used to derive a system of inequalities, that serve as constraints which should be satisfied by all primes whose successor is…

In this paper, we show that for any sequence ${\bf a}=(a_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ such that the entropy $h({\bf…

The main purpose of this paper is to study Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as type properties on $c_0$ sum of Banach spaces. Among other results, we show that the pair $(c_0(X),Y)$ has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as property (in short, BPBp) for…

We introduce the following generalization of set intersection via characteristic vectors: for $n,q,s, t \ge 1$ a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq \{0,1,\dots,q\}^n$ of vectors is said to be \emph{$s$-sum $t$-intersecting} if for any distinct…

Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be randomly chosen subsets of the first $n$ integers of cardinalities $s_2\geq s_1 = \Omega(s_2)$, such that their sumset $A_1+A_2$ has size $m$. We show that asymptotically almost surely $A_1$ and $A_2$ are almost fully…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, Jianqiang Zhao has established a curious congruence, which is $$ \sum_{i+j+k=p \atop i,j,k > 0} \frac{1}{ijk} \equiv -2B_{p-3}\pmod p , $$ where $B_{n}$ denotes the $n$-th Bernoulli number. In this paper, we will…

The paper deals with the following system of nonlinear difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=ax_{n}^{2}y_{n}+bx_{n}y_{n}^{2},\ y_{n+1}=cx_{n}^{2}y_{n}+dx_{n}y_{n}^{2},\ n\in \mathbb{N}_{0}, \end{equation*} where the initial values…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

Let $d\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$ be fixed. We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$ and every real $\beta$, there exist integers $1\leq b_1,\ldots,b_k\leq N$ such that \[ \left\|\sum_{j=1}^k b_j^{1/d}-\beta\right\| \ll_{d,k,\epsilon}…

A version of the Riesz-Sobolev convolution inequality is formulated and proved for arbitrary compact connected Abelian groups. Maximizers are characterized and a quantitative stability theorem is proved, under natural hypotheses. A…

We prove that the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality \begin{equation*} |\lambda K+_0 (1-\lambda)L|\geq |K|^{\lambda}|L|^{1-\lambda} \end{equation*} (where $|\cdot|$ is the Lebesgue measure and $+_0$ is the so-called log-addition) holds when…

We study pairs of subsets $A, B$ of a compact abelian group $G$ where the sumset $A+B:=\{a+b: a\in A, b\in B\}$ is small. Let $m$ and $m_{*}$ be Haar measure and inner Haar measure on $G$, respectively. Given $\varepsilon>0$, we classify…

The Brunn-Minkowski inequality, applicable to bounded measurable sets $A$ and $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, states that $|A+B|^{1/d} \geq |A|^{1/d}+|B|^{1/d}$. Equality is achieved if and only if $A$ and $B$ are convex and homothetic sets in…

For a set $A$ of points in the plane, not all collinear, we denote by ${\rm tr}(A)$ the number of triangles in any triangulation of $A$; that is, ${\rm tr}(A) = 2i+b-2$ where $b$ and $i$ are the numbers of points of $A$ in the boundary and…

An additive system for the nonnegative integers is a family (A_i)_{i\in I} of sets of nonnegative integers with 0 \in A_i for all i \in I such that every nonnegative integer can be written uniquely in the form \sum_{i\in I} a_i with a_i \in…

Let $G = (G,+)$ be a compact connected abelian group, and let $\mu_G$ denote its probability Haar measure. A theorem of Kneser (generalising previous results of Macbeath and Raikov) establishes the bound $$ \mu_G(A + B) \geq \min(…

A set $P\subset \mathbb{F}_p^n\times\mathbb{F}_p^n$ is called $\textit{bilinear}$ when it is the zero set of a family of linear and bilinear forms, and $\textit{transverse}$ when it is stable under vertical and horizontal sums. A theorem of…
