Let A be a zero-sum free subset of Z_n with |A|=k. We compute for k\le 7 the least possible size of the set of all subset-sums of A.

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group, and $r$ be a multiple of its exponent. The generalized Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $s_r(G)$ is the smallest integer $s$ such that every sequence of length $s$ over $G$ has a zero-sum subsequence of…

We compute the strong coupling constant $g_{P^* P \pi}$, with $P$ and $P^*$ respectively pseudoscalar and vector heavy mesons by using the QCD sum rules approach. Our computation is based on the evaluation of the time ordered product of…

By Zeckendorf's Theorem, every positive integer is uniquely written as a sum of non-adjacent terms of the Fibonacci sequence, and its converse states that if a sequence in the positive integers has this property, it must be the Fibonacci…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a concept of Abel statistical continuity. A real valued function $f$ is Abel statistically continuous on a subset $E$ of $\R$, the set of real numbers, if it preserves Abel statistical convergent…

Let $\Sigma$ be a countable alphabet. For $r\geq 1$, an infinite sequence $s$ with characters from $\Sigma$ is called $r$-quasi-regular, if for each $\sigma\in\Sigma$ the ratio of the longest to shortest interval between consecutive…

Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…

A finite word $w\in\{0,1\}^*$ is balanced if for every equal-length factors $u$ and $v$ of every cyclic shift of $w$ we have $||u|_1-|v|_1| <= 1$. This new class of finite words were defined in [JZ]. In [J], there was proved several results…

The non-commutative Stein inequality asks whether there exists a constant $C_{p,q}$ depending only on $p, q$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\| \left(\sum_{n} |\mathcal{E}_{n} (x_n) |^{q}\right)^{\frac{1}{q}} \right\|_p \leq C_{p,q}…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…

We derive some new results on the k-th barycentric Olson constants of abelian groups (mainly cyclic). This quantity, for a finite abelian (additive) group (G,+), is defined as the smallest integer l such that each subset A of G with at…

We give a short, self-contained proof of two key results from a paper of four of the authors. The first is a kind of weighted discrete Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality. This is then applied to show that if $A, B \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^d$ are…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group written additively, and let $r$ be a multiple of its exponent. The modified Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $\mathsf{s}_r'(G)$ is the smallest integer $s$ such that every zero-sum sequence of length $s$…

Let $N$ be a finite set, let $p \in (0,1)$, and let $N_p$ denote a random binomial subset of $N$ where every element of $N$ is taken to belong to the subset independently with probability $p$ . This defines a product measure $\mu_p$ on the…

Let f(n)= Sum binomial(n,k)^(-1). First, we show that f:N to Q_p is nowhere continuous in the p-adic topology. If x is a p-adic integer, we say that f(x) is p-definable if lim f(x_j) exists in Q_p, where x_j denotes the jth partial sum for…

Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…

For a constant $\gamma \in[0,1]$ and a graph $G$, let $\omega_{\gamma}(G)$ be the largest integer $k$ for which there exists a $k$-vertex subgraph of $G$ with at least $\gamma\binom{k}{2}$ edges. We show that if $0<p<\gamma<1$ then…

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.…

Let $\BZ_p$ be the finite field of prime order $p$ and $A$ be a subset of $\BZ_p$. We prove several sharp results about the following two basic questions: (1) When can one represent zero as a sum of distinct elements of $A$ ? (2) When can…
