An open problem of arithmetic Ramsey theory asks if given a finite $r$-colouring $c:\mathbb{N}\to\{1,...,r\}$ of the natural numbers, there exist $x,y\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $c(xy)=c(x+y)$ apart from the trivial solution $x=y=2$. More…

We solve the question of the existence of a Poisson-Pinsker factor for conservative ergodic infinite measure preserving action of a countable amenable group by proving the following dichotomy: either it has totally positive Poisson entropy…

This paper deals with the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear system q(t)\phi(p(t)u'_{i}(t)))'+f^{i}(t,\textbf{u})=0,\quad 0<t<1,\quad i=1,2,...,n. This system often arises in the study of positive radial solutions of…

We investigate connections between resolvability and different forms of tightness. This study is adjacent to [1,2]. We construct a non-regular refinement $\tau^*$ of the natural topology of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ with properties such…

We prove that the following problem is decidable: given a finite set of relations, decide whether this set admits a near-unanimity function.

Measures generated by Iterated Function Systems composed of uncountably many one--dimensional affine maps are studied. We present numerical techniques as well as rigorous results that establish whether these measures are absolutely or…

Let L_a(x) be Lebesgue's singular function with a real parameter a (0<a<1, a not equal to 1/2). As is well known, L_a(x) is strictly increasing and has a derivative equal to zero almost everywhere. However, what sets of x in [0,1] actually…

In this paper, some features of countably $\alpha$-compact topological spaces are presented and proven. The connection between countably $\alpha$% -compact, Tychonoff, and $\alpha$-Hausdorff spaces is explained. The space is countably…

A subset $A$ of a topological space $X$ is called relatively functionally countable (RFC) in $X$, if for each continuous function $f : X \to \mathbb{R}$ the set $f[A]$ is countable. We prove that all RFC subsets of a product…

Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results…

In 1902, P. St\"{a}ckel proved the existence of a transcendental function $f(z)$, analytic in a neighbourhood of the origin, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse function assume, in this neighbourhood, algebraic values at…

We characterize the functions $f\colon [0,1] \longrightarrow [0,1]$ for which there exists a measurable set $C\subseteq [0,1]$ of positive measure satisfying $\frac{|C\cap I|}{|I|}<f(|I|)$ for any nontrivial interval $I \subseteq [0,1]$. As…

Let $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ and let $m$ be a possibly discontinuous and unbounded function that changes sign in $\Omega$. Let $f:\left[ 0,\infty\right) \rightarrow\left[ 0,\infty\right) $ be a continuous…

Let A be a set of integers and let h \geq 2. For every integer n, let r_{A, h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n=a_1+...+a_h, where a_1,...,a_h belong to the set A, and a_1\leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}…

We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c<d_c. Next we prove that the Martin Axiom for sigma --centered forcing notions implies that for every function f:R^2…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a tempered distribution $F\in S'(R)$ to be positive definite. A generalized Cauchy transform $\widetilde{F}$ of $F$ is used as a numerical continuation of $F$ to the open upper and lower…

It is consistent that for every function f:R x R-> R there is an uncountable set A subseteq R and two continuous functions f_0,f_1:D(A)-> R such that f(alpha, beta) in {f_0(alpha, beta),f_1(alpha, beta)} for every (alpha, beta) in A^2,…

In this short note, we establish the following result: Let $f:[0,+\infty[\to [0,+\infty[$, $\alpha:[0,1]\to ]0,+\infty[$ be two continuous functions, with $f(0)=0$. Assume that, for some $a>0$, the function $\xi\to…

This note revisits the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a subshift to have a continuous g-function. Results obtained by Krieger (IMS Lecture Notes-Monograph Series, 48, 306--316, 2006) on finite alphabet subshifts…

We construct a topos in which the Dedekind reals are countable. The topos arises from a new kind of realizability, which we call parameterized realizability, based on partial combinatory algebras whose application depends on a parameter.…
