The three gap theorem was originally a conjecture by Steinhaus, who asserted that there are at most three distinct gap lengths in the fractional parts of the sequence {\alpha},{2}{\alpha},{\cdots},{N}{\alpha} for any integer {N} and real…

In 2008, Wang \& Wang showed that the set of gaps of a numerical semigroup generated by two coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$ is equidistributed modulo 2 precisely when $a$ and $b$ are both odd. Shor generalized this in 2022, showing…

The well-known middle levels conjecture asserts that for every integer $n\geq 1$, all binary strings of length $2(n+1)$ with exactly $n+1$ many 0s and 1s can be ordered cyclically so that any two consecutive strings differ in swapping the…

We prove in Theorem $2.2$ that the multiplicatively closed subset generated by at most two elements in the set of natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ has arbitrarily large gaps by explicitly constructing large integer intervals with known prime…

In this paper, we initiate the study of discrepancy questions for combinatorial designs. Specifically, we show that, for every fixed $r\ge 3$ and $n\equiv 1,3 \pmod{6}$, any $r$-colouring of the triples on $[n]$ admits a Steiner triple…

We prove a structure theorem for multiplicative functions which states that an arbitrary bounded multiplicative function can be decomposed into two terms, one that is approximately periodic and another that has small Gowers uniformity norm…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $A$ a subset of $G$. The spectrum of $A$ is the set of its large Fourier coefficients. Known combinatorial results on the structure of spectrum, such as Chang's theorem, become trivial in the regime…

New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…

The Three Gap Theorem, also known as the Steinhaus Conjecture, is a classical result on the combinatorics of the fractional part function, and has since been generalized in many ways. In this paper, we pose a new problem related to these…

In this paper, we study some new factorizations of period-doubling sequences over a $k$-letter alphabet, where $k\geq 2$. First, we define the combinatorial and arithmetic properties of these sequences. Then, we define the kernel words of…

Single-Index Models are high-dimensional regression problems with planted structure, whereby labels depend on an unknown one-dimensional projection of the input via a generic, non-linear, and potentially non-deterministic transformation. As…

In this paper the fractional order logistic map in the sense of Caputo's fractional differences is numerically approached. It is shown that the necessary iterations number to avoid transients must be of order of thousand, not of order of…

The gaps in the sequence $\{\sqrt{n}\}$ were shown by Elkies-McMullen (2004) to have a limiting distribution which is not the exponential distribution. However it is conjectured that the distribution of gaps in the sequence…
