In this paper we consider the density of maximal order elements in $\mathrm{GL}_n(q)$. Fixing any of the rank $n$ of the group, the characteristic $p$ or the degree $r$ of the extension of the underlying field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size…
A set $S$ of natural numbers is multiplicative Sidon if the products of all pairs in $S$ are distinct. Erd\H{o}s in 1938 studied the maximum size of a multiplicative Sidon subset of $\{1,\ldots, n\}$, which was later determined up to the…
In 1965 Erd\H{o}s conjectured that the number of edges in k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices in which the largest matching has s edges is maximized for hypergraphs of one of two special types. We settled this conjecture in the affirmative…
We study the number of linear extensions of a partial order with a given proportion of comparable pairs of elements, and estimate the maximum and minimum possible numbers. We also consider a random interval partial order on $n$ elements,…
The theorem presented in this paper allows the creation of large prime numbers (of order up to o(n^2)) given a table of all primes up to n.
Erd\H{o}s and Hall defined a pair $(m, n)$ of positive integers to be interlocking, if between any pair of consecutive divisors (both larger than $1$) of $n$ (resp. $m$) there is a divisor of $m$ (resp. $n$). A positive integer is said to…
The Erd\H os unit distance conjecture in the plane says that the number of pairs of points from a point set of size $n$ separated by a fixed (Euclidean) distance is $\leq C_{\epsilon} n^{1+\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$. The best known…
We give a detailed analysis of the proportion of elements in the symmetric group on $n$ points whose order divides $m$, for $n$ sufficiently large and $m \ge n$ with $m = O(n)$.
It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…
In this paper, we study the linear independence between the distribution of the number of prime factors of integers and that of the largest prime factors of integers. Respectively, under a restriction on the largest prime factors of…
We prove a special case of Erd\H{o}s' unit distance problem using a corollary of the subspace theorem bounding the number of solutions of linear equations from a multiplicative group. We restrict our attention to unit distances coming from…
Our work is motivated by the fact that the norms of the Eulerian integers are related to the sums of form $a^2-ab+b^2$, providing a natural generalization for problems concerning products over sums or differences of integers. Let $E$ be the…
The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv theorem states that every sequence of 2n - 1 integers contains a subsequence of length n whose sum is divisible by n. Choi, Kang, and Lim gave a simple deterministic O(n log n) algorithm for finding such a…
Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than $p$. We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$…
Given $n$ intervals on a line $\ell$, we consider the problem of moving these intervals on $\ell$ such that no two intervals overlap and the maximum moving distance of the intervals is minimized. The difficulty for solving the problem lies…
We determine upper bounds for the maximum order of an element of a finite almost simple group with socle T in terms of the minimum index m(T) of a maximal subgroup of T: for T not an alternating group we prove that, with finitely many…
Let \(d_k(p)\) denote the natural density of positive integers whose \(k\)-th smallest prime divisor is \(p\). Erd\H{o}s asked whether, for each fixed \(k\), the sequence \(p\mapsto d_k(p)\) is unimodal as \(p\) ranges over the primes.…
Fix an integer $r\ge2$. For each $n$ we consider families $\mathcal F\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ that form an antichain and have the property that, for every $t$, if there exists $A\in\mathcal F$ with $|A|=t$ then there exist at least $r$ members of…
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…
The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is a non-decreasing finite sequence formed of the element orders of $G$. Several properties of order sequences were studied by P. J. Cameron and H. K. Dey in a recent paper that concludes with a list…
