The study of graph discrepancy problems, initiated by Erd\H{o}s in the 1960s, has received renewed attention in recent years. In general, given a $2$-edge-coloured graph $G$, one is interested in embedding a copy of a graph $H$ in $G$ with…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

Given a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, the (monochromatic) Closest Pair problem asks to find a pair of distinct points in the set that are closest in the $\ell_p$-metric. Closest Pair is a fundamental problem in Computational Geometry…

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

A set of integers greater than 1 is primitive if no member in the set divides another. Erd\H{o}s proved in 1935 that the series $f(A) = \sum_{a\in A}1/(a \log a)$ is uniformly bounded over all choices of primitive sets $A$. In 1986 he asked…

Given a map $u : \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$, the $\infty$-Laplacian is the system \[ \label{1} \Delta_\infty u \, :=\, \Big(\text{D}u \otimes \text{D}u + |\text{D}u|^2 [\text{D}u]^\bot \! \otimes I \Big) :…

A positive integer $n$ is called an abundant number if $\sigma (n)\ge 2n$, where $\sigma (n)$ is the sum of all positive divisors of $n$. Let $E(x)$ be the largest number of consecutive abundant numbers not exceeding $x$. In 1935, P. Erd\H…

We characterize the limiting behavior of partial sums of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{F}_q[t]\to S^1$. In contrast to the number field setting, the characterization depends crucially on whether the notion of discrepancy is defined…

In 1981, Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal asked whether the sum of the reciprocals of the odd cycle lengths in a graph with infinite chromatic number is necessarily infinite. Let $\mathcal{C}(G)$ be the set of cycle lengths in a graph $G$ and let…

In this paper, we prove Erd\H{o}s distance conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^d$, namely, a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ determines $\Omega(\frac{n}{\sqrt{\log n}})$ distances, and for $d\ge 3$, a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$…
