We give a proof of the Khintchine inequalities in non-commutative $L_p$-spaces for all $0< p<1$. These new inequalities are valid for the Rademacher functions or Gaussian random variables, but also for more general sequences, e.g. for the…

We give a short linear--algebraic proof of the inequality \[ \|x\|_1\,\|x\|_\infty \le \frac{1+\sqrt{p}}{2}\,\|x\|_2^2, \] valid for every \(x\in\mathbb{R}^p\). This inequality relates three fundamental norms on finite-dimensional spaces…

We show that the number of positive integers $n\leq N$ such that $\mathbb{Z}/(n^2+n+1)\mathbb{Z}$ contains a perfect difference set is asymptotically $N/\log{N}$.

Given integers $k_1, k_2$ with $0\le k_1<k_2$, the determinations of all positive integers $q$ for which there exists a perfect Splitter $B[-k_1, k_2](q)$ set is a wide open question in general. In this paper, we obtain new necessary and…

Let $A$ be a nonempty subset of finite abelian group $G$ of order $n$. For an integer $h \geq 2$, the restricted $h$-fold sumset $h^\wedge A$ is the set of all sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$. It is known that if $G$ is a group of…

We determine the optimal constant in the $L^{2}$ Folland-Stein inequality on the H-type group, which partially confirms the conjecture given by Garofalo and Vassilev (Duke Math. J., 2001). The proof is inspired by the work of Frank and Lieb…

The optimality of the integral inequality $\int\limits_\gamma\sqrt{k_1^2+k_2^2+k_3^2}ds>2\pi$ for closed curves with non-vanishing curvatures in $\mathbb R^4$ is discussed. We prove that an arbitrary closed curve of constant positive…
