In this paper we propose a conjecture concerning partial sums of an arbitrary finite subset of an abelian group, that naturally arises investigating simple Heffter systems. Then, we show its connection with related open problems and we…
We improve some results on the size of the greatest prime factor of integers of the form ab+1, where a and b belong to finite sets of integers with rather large density.
"How much c.e. sets could cover a given set?" in this paper we are going to answer this question. Also, in this approach some old concepts come into a new arrangement. The major goal of this article is to introduce an appropriate definition…
We describe recent advances in the study of random analogues of combinatorial theorems.
We develop a new method for enumerating independent sets of a fixed size in general graphs, and we use this method to show that a conjecture of Engbers and Galvin holds for all but finitely many graphs. We also use our method to prove…
We investigate permutations in terms of their cycle structure and descent set. To do this, we generalize the classical bijection of Gessel and Reutenauer to deal with permutations that have some ascending and some descending blocks. We then…
We define a notion of an arithmetic set in an arbitrary countable group and study properties of these sets in the cases of Abelian groups and non-abelian free groups.
Furstenberg, Glasscock, Bergelson, Beiglboeck have been studied abundance in arithmatic progression on various large sets like piecewise syndetic, central, thick, etc. but also there are so many sets in which abundance in progression is…
Various authors have calculated how many pairwise incomparable points can be selected from a partially ordered set. We tackle this question for the family of subsets of a finite set obtained by removing or adding a bounded number of…
We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, when the number $n$ of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of…
In this article, I present a conjecture on the number of independent sets on graph covers. I also show that the conjecture implies that the partition function of a binary pairwise attractive model is greater than that of the Bethe…
We prove that random triangulations of high genus contain very large expander subgraphs, answering a question of Benjamini. Our approach relies on new general criteria for arbitrary graphs to contain large expander subgraphs.
Let $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{Z} / N\mathbb{Z}$ and let $\mathcal{R}$ be the set of large Fourier coefficients of $A$. Properties of $\mathcal{R}$ have been studied in works of M.-- C. Chang, B. Green and the author. In the paper we…
A starting point in the investigation of intersecting systems of subsets of a finite set is the elementary observation that the size of a family of pairwise intersecting subsets of a finite set [n]={1,...,n}, denoted by 2^{[n]}, is at most…
The combinatorial theory for the set of parity alternating permutations is expounded. In view of the numbers of ascents and inversions, several enumerative aspects of the set are investigated. In particular, it is shown that signed Eulerian…
We introduce the concepts of an amazing hypercube decomposition and a double shortcut for it, and use these new ideas to formulate a conjecture implying the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for the…
We construct an infinite family of intriguing sets that are not tight in the Grassmann Graph of planes of PG$(n,q)$, $n\ge 5$ odd, and show that the members of the family are the smallest possible examples if $n\ge 9$ or $q\ge 25$.
We study strong approximation for some algebraic varieties over which are defined using norm forms over the rationals. This allows us to confirm a special case of a conjecture due to Harpaz and Wittenberg.
In the following article we consider approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) for certain classes of time series models. In particular, we focus upon scenarios where the likelihoods of the observations and parameter are intractable, by which…
We examine the following version of a classic combinatorial search problem introduced by R\'enyi: Given a finite set $X$ of $n$ elements we want to identify an unknown subset $Y \subset X$ of exactly $d$ elements by testing, by as few as…
