For graphs $G$ and $F$, the saturation number $\textit{sat}(G,F)$ is the minimum number of edges in an inclusion-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. In 2017, Kor\'andi and Sudakov initiated the study of saturation in random graphs. They…
We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…
For a prime $p$, a restricted arithmetic progression in $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ is a triplet of vectors $x, x+a, x+2a$ in which the common difference $a$ is a non-zero element from $\{0,1,2\}^n$. What is the size of the largest $A\subseteq…
Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…
A fundamental theorem of Wilson states that, for every graph $F$, every sufficiently large $F$-divisible clique has an $F$-decomposition. Here a graph $G$ is $F$-divisible if $e(F)$ divides $e(G)$ and the greatest common divisor of the…
Let $A$ be the product of an abelian variety and a torus over a number field $K$, and let $m$ be a positive integer. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the…
In recent years, many connections have been made between minimal codes, a classical object in coding theory, and other remarkable structures in finite geometry and combinatorics. One of the main problems related to minimal codes is to give…
The $(\kappa,\ell)$-edge-inducibility problem asks for the maximum number of $\kappa$-subsets inducing exactly $\ell$ edges that a graph of given order $n$ can have. Using flag algebras and stability approach, we resolve this problem for…
In this paper we prove that if $f$ is a self-mapping of a nonempty subset $K$ of a normed space $X$ that satisfies some mild conditions, then the minimal displacement of large iterations $f^n$ always dominates that of $f$ along certain…
The minrank over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of a graph $G$ on the vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is the minimum possible rank of a matrix $M \in \mathbb{F}^{n \times n}$ such that $M_{i,i} \neq 0$ for every $i$, and $M_{i,j}=0$ for every distinct…
We determine the asymptotic proportion of minimal automata, within n-state accessible deterministic complete automata over a k-letter alphabet, with the uniform distribution over the possible transition structures, and a binomial…
A fundamental result in structural graph theory states that every graph with large average degree contains a large complete graph as a minor. We prove this result with the extra property that the minor is small with respect to the order of…
Given a compact subset $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) with logarithmic capacity greater than zero, we construct an explicit family of probability measures supported on $\Sigma$ such that their closure is all the possible weak…
The family of graphs of reduced words of a certain subcollection of permutations in the union $\cup_{n\geq 4}\frak{S}_{n}$ of symmetic groups is investigated. The subcollection is characterised by the hook cycle type $(n-2,1,1)$ with…
We investigate the scattered palindromic subwords in a finite word. We start by characterizing the words with the least number of scattered palindromic subwords. Then, we give an upper bound for the total number of palindromic subwords in a…
Suppose that i.i.d. random variables $X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots$ are chosen uniformly from $[0,1]$, and let $f: [0,1] \rightarrow [0,1]$ be an increasing bijection. Define $\mu_{f}$ to be the expected value of $f(X_{i})$ for each $i$. Define the…
The asynchronous dynamics associated with a Boolean network $f : \{0,1\}^n \to \{0,1\}^n$ is a finite deterministic automaton considered in many applications. The set of states is $\{0,1\}^n$, the alphabet is $[n]$, and the action of letter…
We improve both upper and lower bounds for the distribution-free testing of monotone conjunctions. Given oracle access to an unknown Boolean function $f:\{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ and sampling oracle access to an unknown distribution…
We prove that if $\lambda$ is a fixed uncountable cardinal and $f = \langle \ka_{\al} : \al < \delta \rangle$ is a sequence of infinite cardinals where $\delta < \omega_3$ and $\ka_{\al}\in \{\om,\lambda\}$ for each $\al < \delta$ in such a…
Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ be the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph which contains no copy of a graph from $\mathcal{F}$. Thinking of $H$ and $\mathcal{F}$ as fixed, we study the asymptotics of…
