The aim of this paper is to extend probability theory from the classical to the product t-norm fuzzy logic setting. More precisely, we axiomatize a generalized notion of finitely additive probability for product logic formulas, called…

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…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…

Fix a sequence of integers $Q=\{q_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ such that $q_n$ is greater than or equal to 2 for all $n$. In this paper, we improve upon results by J. Galambos and F. Schweiger showing that almost every (in the sense of Lebesgue…

We develop algebraic and geometrical approaches toward canonical bases for affine q-Schur algebras of arbitrary type introduced in this paper. A duality between an affine q-Schur algebra and a corresponding affine Hecke algebra is…

In this paper we study the dimension spectrum of continued fractions with coefficients restricted to infinite subsets of natural numbers. We prove that if $E$ is any arithmetic progression, the set of primes, or the set of squares…

We introduce two families of transcendental numbers which we call finite factorial (FF) and partially finite factorial (PFF) numbers respectively, with the former one being subfamily of the latter one. These numbers arise naturally from…

For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…

We prove a ''dimension expansion'' version of the Elekes-R\'onyai theorem for trivariate real analytic functions: If $f$ is a trivariate real analytic function, then $f$ is either locally of the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$, or the following is…

For a positive integer $M$ and a real base $q\in(1,M+1]$, let $\mathcal{U}_q$ denote the set of numbers having a unique expansion in base $q$ over the alphabet $\{0,1,\dots,M\}$, and let $\mathbf{U}_q$ denote the corresponding set of…

Let G be GL_N or SL_N as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of positive characteristic p. We prove several results that were previously established only when N < 6 or p > 2^N. Let G act rationally on a finitely generated…

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…

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer. It was proved by Brass and Schmeisser that for every quadrature $$\mathcal{Q}=\alpha_1f(x_1)+\dots+\alpha_mf(x_m),$$ (with positive weights) of order at least $n+1$ and for every $n-$convex function $f,$…

The so called $q$-triplets were conjectured in 2004 and then found in nature in 2005. A relevant further step was achieved in 2005 when the possibility was advanced that they could reflect an entire infinite algebra based on combinations of…

There exists an absolute constant $\delta > 0$ such that for all $q$ and all subsets $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q$ of the finite field with $q$ elements, if $|A| > q^{2/3 - \delta}$, then \[ |(A-A)(A-A)| = |\{ (a -b) (c-d) : a,b,c,d \in A\}| >…

${\cal E}$ denotes the family of all finite nonempty $S\subseteq{\mathbb N}:=\{1,2,\ldots\}$, and ${\cal E}(X):={\cal E}\cap\{S:S\subseteq X\}$ when $X\subseteq{\mathbb N}$. Similarly, ${\cal F}$ denotes the family of all finite nonempty…

We prove that for $k\ge 1$, all coefficients in the expansion of the series $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{(q^{2n+2}, q^{2n+2k}; q^2)_\infty}{(q^{2n+1};q^2)_\infty^2} q^{2n}$$ are positive, by $q$-hypergeometric means. This confirms a recent…

Given $k \geq 2$, we show that there are at most finitely many rational numbers $x$ and $y \neq 0$ and integers $\ell \geq 2$ (with $(k,\ell) \neq (2,2)$) for which $$ x (x+1) \cdots (x+k-1) = y^\ell. $$ In particular, if we assume that…

We count the algebraic numbers of fixed degree by their $\mathbf{w}$-weighted $l_p$-norm which generalizes the na\"ive height, the length, the Euclidean and the Bombieri norms. For non-negative integers $k,l$ such that $k+2l\leq n$ and a…

Let $\alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be such that $\alpha,\beta$ are quadratic and $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)\neq \mathbb{Q}(\beta)$. Then every subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ definable in both $(\mathbb{R},{<},+,\mathbb{Z},x\mapsto \alpha x)$ and…
