This paper obtains a completeness result for inequational reasoning with applicative terms without variables in a setting where the intended semantic models are the full structures, the full type hierarchies over preorders for the base…

We prove a lemma, which we call the Order Ideal Lemma, that can be used to demonstrate a wide array of log-concavity and log-convexity results in a combinatorial manner using order ideals in distributive lattices. We use the Order Ideal…

A 1971 conjecture of Graham (later repeated by Erd\H{o}s and Graham) asserts that every set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p \setminus \{0\}$ has an ordering whose partial sums are all distinct. We prove this conjecture for sets of size $|A|…

A sequence $s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_k$ of elements of a group $G$ is called a valid ordering if the partial products $s_1, s_1 s_2, \ldots, s_1\cdots s_k$ are all distinct. A long-standing problem in combinatorial group theory asks whether, for a…

Huffman coding finds a prefix code that minimizes mean codeword length for a given probability distribution over a finite number of items. Campbell generalized the Huffman problem to a family of problems in which the goal is to minimize not…

A set $G \subseteq \omega$ is $n$-generic for a positive integer $n$ if and only if every $\Sigma^0_n$ formula of $G$ is decided by a finite initial segment of $G$ in the sense of Cohen forcing. It is shown here that every $n$-generic set…

A Henkin-style proof of completeness of first-order classical logic is given with respect to a very small set (notably missing cut rule) of Genzten deduction rules for intuitionistic sequents. Insisting on sparing on derivation rules,…

We show that under the proper forcing axiom the class of all Aronszajn lines behave like $\sigma$-scattered orders under the embeddability relation. In particular, we are able to show that the class of better quasi order labeled fragmented…

We determine, up to the equivalence of first-order interdefinability, all structures which are first-order definable in the random partial order. It turns out that these structures fall into precisely five equivalence classes. We achieve…

Brauer and Thrall conjectured that a finite-dimensional algebra over a field of bounded representation type is actually of finite representation type and a finite-dimensional algebra (over an infinite field) of infinite representation type…

This paper can be seen as an attempt of rethinking the {\em Extra-Gradient Philosophy} for solving Variational Inequality Problems. We show that the properly defined {\em Reduced Gradients} can be used instead for finding approximate…

The notion of Bregman divergence and sufficiency will be defined on general convex state spaces. It is demonstrated that only spectral sets can have a Bregman divergence that satisfies a sufficiency condition. Positive elements with trace 1…

In this paper, we study the minimal number of elements of maximal order within a zero-sumfree sequence in a finite Abelian p-group. For this purpose, in the general context of finite Abelian groups, we introduce a new number, for which…

A well-quasi-order is an order which contains no infinite decreasing sequence and no infinite collection of incomparable elements. In this paper, we consider graph classes defined by excluding one graph as contraction. More precisely, we…

As a result of 33 intercontinental Zoom calls, we characterise big Ramsey degrees of the generic partial order. This is an infinitary extension of the well known fact that finite partial orders endowed with linear extensions form a Ramsey…

Szpilrajn's Lemma entails that each partial order extends to a linear order. Dushnik and Miller use Szpilrajn's Lemma to show that each partial order has a relizer. Since then, many authors utilize Szpilrajn's Theorem and the Well-ordering…
