Let $d \geq 1$ and $s \leq 2^d$ be nonnegative integers. For a subset $A$ of vertices of the hypercube $Q_n$ and $n\geq d$, let $\lambda(n,d,s,A)$ denote the fraction of subcubes $Q_d$ of $Q_n$ that contain exactly $s$ vertices of $A$. Let…
Let $\iota_{k}(m,l)$ denote the total number of intervals of length $m$ across all Dyck paths of semilength $k$ such that each interval contains precisely $l$ falls. We give the formula for $\iota_{k}(m,l)$ and show that…
We prove that the interval $(5/6, 1)$ contains no 3-dimensional canonical thresholds.
We prove an epiperimetric inequality for the thin obstacle problem, extending the pioneering results by Weiss on the classical obstacle problem (Invent. Math. 138 (1999), no. 1, 23-50). This inequality provides the means to study the rate…
We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in…
It is an open problem whether $ \binom{2n}{n} $ is divisible by 4 or 9 for all $n>256$. In connection with this, we prove that for a fixed uneven $m$ the asymptotic density of $k$'s such that $ m \nmid \binom{2^{k+1}}{2^{k}} $ is 0. To do…
We consider Helmholtz problems with a perturbed wave speed, where the single-signed perturbation is linear in a parameter $z$. Both the wave speed and the perturbation are allowed to be discontinuous (modelling a penetrable obstacle). We…
A package for the Sage computer algebra system is developed for checking feasibility of a given intersection array for a distance-regular graph. We use this tool to show that there is no distance-regular graph with intersection array…
The spacing distribution between Farey points has drawn attention in recent years. It was found that the gaps $\gamma_{j+1}-\gamma_j$ between consecutive elements of the Farey sequence produce, as $Q\to\infty$, a limiting measure. Numerical…
We prove results about the asymptotic formulae in short intervals for the average number of representations of integers of the forms $n=p_{1}^{\ell_1}+p_{2}^{\ell_2}$, with $\ell_1, \ell_2\in\{2,3\}$, $\ell_1+\ell_2\le 5$ are fixed…
Using a sieve-theoretic argument, we show that almost all gaps $(p_n, p_{n+1})$ between consecutive primes $p_n, p_{n+1}$ contain a natural number $m$ whose least prime factor $p(m)$ is at least the length $p_{n+1} - p_n$ of the gap,…
For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…
We have primarily obtained three results on numbers of the form $p + 2^k$. Firstly, we have constructed many arithmetic progressions, each of which does not contain numbers of the form $p + 2^k$, disproving a conjecture by Erd\H{o}s as Chen…
It is well-known that for a quickly increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the functions $(\cos 2 \pi n_k x)_{k \geq 1}$ show a behavior which is typical for sequences of independent random variables. If the growth condition on $(n_k)_{k…
We prove existence of weak solutions to the obstacle problem for semilinear wave equations (including the fractional case) by using a suitable approximating scheme in the spirit of minimizing movements. This extends the results in [9],…
The author, together with Nagy, studied the following problem on unavoidable intersections of given size in binary affine spaces. Given an $m$-element set $S\subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$, is there guaranteed to be a $[k,t]$-flat, that is, a…
For a finite set of integers such that the first few gaps between its consecutive elements equal $a$, while the remaining gaps equal $b$, we study dense packings of its translates on the line. We obtain an explicit lower bound on the…
We provide an ergodic theory framework to study statistical properties of smooth sequences over the odd alphabet {1, 3}. The arithmetic nature of this alphabet yields a partition of the subshift of smooth sequences based on their local…
We construct and analyze solutions to a regularized homogeneous $p$-harmonic map flow equation for general $p \geq 2$. The homogeneous version of the problem is new and features a monotonicity formula extending the one found by Struwe for…
For $s=3,4$, we prove the existence of arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive integers none of which is a sum of $s$ nonnegative $s$-th powers. More generally, we study the existence of gaps between the values $\leq N$ of diagonal forms…
