We derive an asymptotic formula for $A(n,j,r)$ the number of integer partitions of $n$ into at most $j$ parts each part $\le r$. We assume $j$ and $r$ are near their mean values. We also investigate the second largest part, the number of…

We consider the set multi-cover problem in geometric settings. Given a set of points P and a collection of geometric shapes (or sets) F, we wish to find a minimum cardinality subset of F such that each point p in P is covered by (contained…

We improve Larman's bound on the diameter of a polytope by showing that if $\Delta$ is a normal simplicial complex, all of whose missing faces have size at most $r$, then the diameter of the facet-ridge graph of $\Delta$ is not larger than…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $m$ disks in the plane, the disk coverage problem asks for a smallest subset of disks that together cover all points of $P$. The problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we consider a line-separable…

Given a set $P$ of $n$ points and a set $S$ of $m$ weighted disks in the plane, the disk coverage problem asks for a subset of disks of minimum total weight that cover all points of $P$. The problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we consider a…

We prove endpoint bounds for derivatives of fractional maximal functions with either smooth convolution kernel or lacunary set of radii in dimensions $n \geq 2$. We also show that the spherical fractional maximal function maps $L^{p}$ into…

For a planar point-set $P$, let D(P) be the minimum number of pairwise-disjoint empty disks such that each point in $P$ lies on the boundary of some disk. Further define D(n) as the maximum of D(P) over all n-element point sets. Hosono and…
