The Six Circles Theorem of C. Evelyn, G. Money-Coutts, and J. Tyrrell concerns chains of circles inscribed into a triangle: the first circle is inscribed in the first angle, the second circle is inscribed in the second angle and tangent to…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…

Stein proposed the following conjecture: if the edge set of $K_{n,n}$ is partitioned into $n$ sets, each of size $n$, then there is a partial rainbow matching of size $n-1$. He proved that there is a partial rainbow matching of size…

A long-standing open conjecture of Branko Gr\"unbaum from 1972 states that any simple arrangement of $n$ pairwise intersecting pseudocircles in the plane can have at most $2n-2$ digons. Agarwal et al. proved this conjecture for arrangements…

We consider closed chains of circles $C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_n,C_{n+1}=C_1$ such that two neighbouring circles $C_i,C_{i+1}$ intersect or touch each other with $A_i$ being a common point. We formulate conditions such that a polygon with vertices…

Motivated by a question of S\'ark\"ozy, we study the gaps in the product sequence $\B=\A ... \A=\{b_n=a_ia_j, a_i,a_j\in \A\}$ when $\A$ has upper Banach density $\alpha>0$. We prove that there are infinitely many gaps $b_{n+1}-b_n\ll…

We examine the prime gaps using a statistical approach. It is first shown that the Andrica's conjecture is true for half or more cases. Using the arguments of averages, it is further shown that Andrica's conjecture is true. We further…

We prove that if $N$ points lie in convex position in the plane then they determine $\Omega(N^{5/4})$ distinct angles, provided that the points do not lie on a common circle. This is derived from a more general claim that if $N$ points in…

The Bar\'at-Thomassen conjecture asserts that for every tree $T$ on $m$ edges, there exists a constant $k_T$ such that every $k_T$-edge-connected graph with size divisible by $m$ can be edge-decomposed into copies of $T$. So far this…
