Suppose that some harmonic analysis arguments have been invoked to show that the indicator function of a set of residue classes modulo some integer has a large Fourier coefficient. To get information about the structure of the set of…
This paper is concerned with the study of diagonal Diophantine inequalities of fractional degree $ \theta ,$ where $ \theta >2$ is real and non-integral. For fixed non-zero real numbers $ \lambda_i $ not all of the same sign we write…
We give the maximal distance between a copula and itself when the argument is permuted for arbitrary dimension, generalizing a result for dimension two by Nelsen (2007), Klement and Mesiar (2006). Furthermore, we establish a subset of…
The {\em overlap number} of a finite $(d+1)$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is defined as the largest constant $c(H)\in (0,1]$ such that no matter how we map the vertices of $H$ into $\R^d$, there is a point covered by at least a $c(H)$-fraction of…
For a rational number $r>1$, a set $A$ of positive integers is called an $r$-multiple-free set if $A$ does not contain any solution of the equation $rx = y$. The extremal problem on estimating the maximum possible size of $r$-multiple-free…
Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number $d$ can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction $\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_{k}],$ with all partial quotients…
The original notion of dimension for posets was introduced by Dushnik and Miller in 1941 and has been studied extensively in the literature. In 1992, Brightwell and Scheinerman developed the notion of fractional dimension as the natural…
Infinite exponential sequences of distinct prime numbers of the form $\lfloor a c^{n^d}+b\rfloor$, $n\geq 0$, are proved to exist for well chosen real constants $a>0$, $b$, $c>1$, $d>1$, assuming Cramer's conjecture on prime gaps. There is…
The base-$k$ {\em Copeland-Erd\"os sequence} given by an infinite set $A$ of positive integers is the infinite sequence $\CE_k(A)$ formed by concatenating the base-$k$ representations of the elements of $A$ in numerical order. This paper…
For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…
Let $E$ be a field of absolute Brauer dimension abrd$(E)$, and $F/E$ a transcendental finitely-generated extension. This paper shows that the Brauer dimension Brd$(F)$ is infinite, if abrd$(E) = \infty $. When the absolute Brauer…
For an $n$-by-$n$ complex matrix $A$, we define its zero-dilation index $d(A)$ as the largest size of a zero matrix which can be dilated to $A$. This is the same as the maximum $k$ ($\ge 1$) for which 0 is in the rank-$k$ numerical range of…
Given coprime positive integers $a_1 < ...< a_d$, the Frobenius number $F$ is the largest integer which is not representable as a non-negative integer combination of the $a_i$. Let $g$ denote the number of all non-representable positive…
In [Sau11,SPW13], Saunderson, Parrilo and Willsky asked the following elegant geometric question: what is the largest $m= m(d)$ such that there is an ellipsoid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that passes through $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_m$ with high…
An MSTD set is a finite set with more pairwise sums than differences. $(\Upsilon,\Phi)$-ismorphisms are generalizations of Freiman isomorphisms to arbitrary linear forms. These generalized isomorphisms are used to prove that every finite…
What is the higher-dimensional analog of a permutation? If we think of a permutation as given by a permutation matrix, then the following definition suggests itself: A d-dimensional permutation of order n is an [n]^(d+1) array of zeros and…
Let $k_i\in \mathbb N$ $(i\ge 1)$ satisfy $2\le k_1\le k_2\le \ldots $. Freiman's theorem shows that when $j\in \mathbb N$, there exists $s=s(j)\in \mathbb N$ such that all large integers $n$ are represented in the form…
The essential dimension $\operatorname{ed}_k({\rm S}_n)$ of the symmetric group ${\rm S}_n$ is the minimal integer $d$ such that the general polynomial $x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$ can be reduced to a $d$-parameter form by a…
Let f be an entire function of finite order less than 1. The maximum modulus M(r) of f and the counting function of the zeros N(r) are connected by a best possible growth inequality known as Valiron's Theorem: For functions subharmonic in…
Combining Freiman's theorem with Balog-Szemeredi-Gowers theorem one can show that if an additive set has large additive energy, then a large piece of the set is contained in a generalized arithmetic progression of small rank and size. In…
