The conjecture of Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os from 1973 states that, for any $k \ge 3$, if a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ with $n$ vertices does not contain a set of $k+3$ vertices spanning at least $k$ edges then it has $o(n^2)$ edges. The…

We give a short proof of a sumset conjecture of Erd\"os, recently proved by Moreira, Richter and Robertson: every subset of the integers of positive density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The proof is written in the framework of…

A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…

The hexagonal tiling honeycomb is a beautiful structure in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. It is called {6,3,3} because each hexagon has 6 edges, 3 hexagons meet at each vertex in a Euclidean plane tiled by regular hexagons, and 3 such…

We give a short proof of the fact that every set of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The approach simplifies earlier existing proofs.

A matching set $M$ in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges of $G$ such that no two edges from $M$ share a vertex. In this paper we consider some parameters related to the matching of regular graphs. We find the sixth coefficient of the…

An equilateral pentagon is a polygon in the plane with five sides of equal length. In this paper we classify the central configurations of the $5$-body problem having the five bodies at the vertices of an equilateral pentagon with an axis…

This paper presents an additional class of regular polyhedra--envelope polyhedra--made of regular polygons, where the arrangement of polygons (creating a single surface) around each vertex is identical; but dihedral angles between faces…

We call a finite, spanning set of a semi-simple real Lie algebra a distinguished set if it satisfies the following property: The Lie bracket of any two elements out of the set is, up to some constant, another element in the set; conversely,…

A famous theorem of Kirkman says that there exists a Steiner triple system of order $n$ if and only if $n\equiv 1,3\mod{6}$. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s conjectured that one can find so-called `sparse' Steiner triple systems. Roughly speaking, the…

We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…

We show that every simple planar near-triangulation with minimum degree at least three contains two disjoint total dominating sets. The class includes all simple planar triangulations other than the triangle. This affirms a conjecture of…

It is well-known that every isosceles tetrahedron (disphenoid) admits infinitely many simple closed geodesics on its surface. They can be naturally enumerated by pairs of co-prime integers $n > m > 1$ with two additional cases $(1,0)$ and…

Triangles with integer length sides and integer area are known as Heron triangles. Taking rescaling freedom into account, one can apply the same name when all sides and the area are rational numbers. A perfect triangle is a Heron triangle…

We show that every set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper density can be shifted to contain the restricted sumset $\{b_1 + b_2 : b_1, b_2\in B \text{ and } b_1 \neq b_2 \}$ for some infinite set $B \subset A$.

A set of integers $A$ is non-averaging if there is no element $a$ in $A$ which can be written as an average of a subset of $A$ not containing $a$. We show that the largest non-averaging subset of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ has size $n^{1/4+o(1)}$,…

A finite set $S \subset \mathbb{Z}$ is a Sidon set if its pairwise differences are distinct. Recall that a perfect difference set (PDS) of order $n$ is a set $B \subset \mathbb{Z}_v$ ($v = n^2 - n + 1$) of size $n$ such that every nonzero…
