Tree-decompositions and treewidth are of fundamental importance in structural and algorithmic graph theory. The "spread" of a tree-decomposition is the minimum integer $s$ such that every vertex lies in at most $s$ bags. A…
This paper extends some results of [M5] and [M3], in particular, removing assumptions of positive lower density. We give conditions on a general family $P_{\lambda}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{m}, \lambda \in \Lambda,$ of orthogonal…
We introduce the defect sequence for a contractive tuple of Hilbert space operators and investigate its properties. The defect sequence is a sequence of numbers, called defect dimensions associated with a contractive tuple. We show that…
We prove constructively a Nullstellensatz giving an equivalence between the existence of a certain kind of algebraic identity on one hand, and the impossibility of finding an increasing sequence of irreducible varieties obeying certain…
We discuss sufficiently fast-growing sequences of Turing degrees. The key result is that, assuming sufficient determinacy, if $\phi$ is a formula with one free variable, and S and T are sufficiently fast-growing sequences of Turing degrees…
All parallel algorithms for directed reachability and shortest paths crucially rely on efficient shortcut constructions. These constructions find directed paths and shortcut them by adding edges, with the goal to reduce the diameter of the…
We study the projective dimensions of the restriction of functors Hom(-,X) to a contravariantly finite rigid subcategory T of a triangulated category C. We show that the projective dimension of Hom(-,X)|T is at most one if and only if there…
We investigate the convergence of signed null sequences of the form \[ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \varepsilon_n a_n, \quad \varepsilon_n \in \{-1,1\}, \] where $(a_n)$ tends to zero in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our main result shows that for any such…
Taking the covering dimension dim as notion for the dimension of a topological space, we first specify thenumber zdim_{T_0}(n) of zero-dimensional T_0-spaces on {1,...,n}$ and the number zdim(n) of zero-dimensional arbitrary topological…
We review the motivation and fundamental properties of the Hausdorff dimension of metric spaces and illustrate this with a number of examples, some of which are expected and well-known. We also give examples where the Hausdorff dimension…
This work is motivated by the problem of finding the limit of the applicability of the first incompleteness theorem ($\sf G1$). A natural question is: can we find a minimal theory for which $\sf G1$ holds? We examine the Turing degree…
In this paper, we answer a question of Nussbaum, Priyadarshi, and Lunel [Positive operators and Hausdorff dimension of invariant sets, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 364(2) (2012) 1029-1066.]. We also show that the Hausdorff dimension and box…
Two classes $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ of modules over a ring $R$ are said to form a cotorsion pair $(\mathcal A, \mathcal B)$ if $\mathcal A={\rm Ker Ext}^1_R(-,\mathcal B)$ and $\mathcal B={\rm Ker Ext}^1_R(\mathcal A,-)$. We…
The Hausdorff dimension of a product XxY can be strictly greater than that of Y, even when the Hausdorff dimension of X is zero. But when X is countable, the Hausdorff dimensions of Y and XxY are the same. Diagonalizations of covers define…
The $s$-th higher topological complexity of a space $X$, $TC_s(X)$, can be estimated from above by homotopical methods, and from below by homological methods. We give a thorough analysis of the gap between such estimates when $X=RP^m$, the…
We prove that Tietze Extension does not always exist in constructive mathematics if closed sets on which the function we are extending are defined as sequentially closed sets. Firstly, we take a discrete metric space as our topological…
In an earlier paper Buczolich, Elekes and the author described the Hausdorff dimension of the level sets of a generic real-valued continuous function (in the sense of Baire category) defined on a compact metric space $K$. Later on, the…
We use persistent homology in order to define a family of fractal dimensions, denoted $\mathrm{dim}_{\mathrm{PH}}^i(\mu)$ for each homological dimension $i\ge 0$, assigned to a probability measure $\mu$ on a metric space. The case of…
The degree spectrum of a countable structure is the set of all Turing degrees of presentations of that structure. We show that every nonlow Turing degree lies in the spectrum of some differentially closed field (of characteristic 0, with a…
We relate various concepts of fractal dimension of the limiting set C in fractal percolation to the dimensions of the set consisting of connected components larger than one point and its complement in C (the "dust"). In two dimensions, we…
