We present a new, scalable alternative to the structured singular value, which we call $\nu$, provide a convex upper bound, study their properties and compare them to $\ell_1$ robust control. The analysis relies on a novel result on the…

Let $q=p^\alpha$ be a fixed prime power, $k\geq 2$ be an integer. We give a new upper bound for the size of $k$-wise $q$-modular $L$-avoiding $L$-intersecting set systems, where $L$ is any proper subset of $\{0, \ldots , q-1\}$. Our proof…

The study of pinnacle sets has been a recent area of interest in combinatorics. Given a permutation, its pinnacle set is the set of all values larger than the values on either side of it. Largely inspired by conjectures posed by Davis,…

The Betke-Henk-Wills conjecture proposes a sharp upper bound for the lattice point enumerator $G(K, \Lambda)$ of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. While the conjecture remains open for general convex bodies in dimensions $d…

We derive a new estimate of the size of finite sets of points in metric spaces with few distances. The following applications are considered: (1) we improve the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson bound of the size of uniform intersecting families of…

Recently it has been found that in a noncompact formulation of the SU(2) gauge theory on a lattice the physical volume is larger than in the Wilson theory with the same number of sites. In its original formulation such noncompact…

For every $\epsilon > 0$ and $k \in \mathbb{N}$, Haight constructed a set $A \subset \mathbb{Z}_N$ ($\mathbb{Z}_N$ stands for the integers modulo $N$) for a suitable $N$, such that $A-A = \mathbb{Z}_N$ and $|kA| < \epsilon N$. Recently,…

Suppose that A is a subset of the integers {1,...,N} of density a. We provide a new proof of a result of Green which shows that A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length exp(ca(log N)^{1/2}) for some absolute c>0. Furthermore we…

One method to determine whether or not a system of partial differential equations is consistent is to attempt to construct a solution using merely the "algebraic data" associated to the system. In technical terms, this translates to the…

We study stability in additively separable hedonic games when coalition sizes have to respect fixed size bounds. We consider four classic notions of stability based on single-agent deviations, namely, Nash stability, individual stability,…

In this paper we consider a general way of constructing profinite struc- tures based on a given framework - a countable family of objects and a countable family of recognisers (e.g. formulas). The main theorem states: A subset of a family…

Given a subset $A$ of the $n$-dimensional Boolean hypercube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, the sumset $A+A$ is the set $\{a+a': a, a' \in A\}$ where addition is in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$. Sumsets play an important role in additive combinatorics, where they…

This paper provides new bounds on the size of spheres in any coordinate-additive metric with a particular focus on improving existing bounds in the sum-rank metric. We derive improved upper and lower bounds based on the entropy of a…

In the second edition of the congruence lattice book, Problem 22.1 asks for a characterization of subsets $Q$ of a finite distributive lattice $D$ such that there is a finite lattice $L$ whose congruence lattice is isomorphic to $D$ and…

We show that a subset of $\mathbb{F}_{p}^{n}$ of $\mathrm{VC_{2}}$-dimension at most $k$ is well approximated by a union of atoms of a quadratic factor of complexity $(\ell,q)$ (denoting the complexities of the linear and quadratic part,…

Answering questions of Y. Rabinovich, we prove "stability" versions of upper bounds on maximal independent set counts in graphs under various restrictions. Roughly these say that being close to the maximum implies existence of a large…

Let $A\subset [1, 2]$ be a $(\delta, \sigma)$-set with measure $|A|=\delta^{1-\sigma}$ in the sense of Katz and Tao. For $\sigma\in (1/2, 1)$ we show that $$ |A+A|+|AA|\gtrapprox \delta^{-c}|A|, $$ for…

A permutation array(or code) of length $n$ and distance $d$, denoted by $(n,d)$ PA, is a set of permutations $C$ from some fixed set of $n$ elements such that the Hamming distance between distinct members $\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}\in C$ is at…
