In 1937, Lothar Collatz conjectured that the sequence generated by the rule $f(n)=3n+1$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ odd, $f(n)=n/2$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ even, starting in any positive integer $n$ produces $1$. This is equivalent to (1) there are…

It is known that, if we take a countable model of Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory ZFC and "undirect" the membership relation (that is, make a graph by joining $x$ to $y$ if either $x\in y$ or $y\in x$), we obtain the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…

We prove an analog of Lagrange's Theorem for continued fractions on the Heisenberg group: points with an eventually periodic continued fraction expansion are those that satisfy a particular type of quadratic form, and vice-versa.

We develop the inhomogeneous counterpart to some key aspects of the story of the Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture (1941). Specifically, we construct counterexamples to a number of candidates for a sans-monotonicity version of Szusz's…

We present a characterization for the continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernels on a product of spheres along the lines of a classical result of I. J. Schoenberg on positive definiteness on a single sphere. We also discuss a few…

A finite group $G$ is called an F-group if for every $x, y \in G \setminus Z(G)$, $C(x) \leq C(y)$ implies that $C(x) = C(y)$. On the otherhand, two elements of a group are said to be $z$-equivalent or in the same $z$-class if their…

Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed as a sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers, where the Fibonacci numbers satisfy $F_n=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$ for $n\geq 3$, $F_1=1$ and $F_2=2$. The distribution…

A sequence of graphs is FO-convergent if the probability of satisfaction of every first-order formula converges. A graph modeling is a graph, whose domain is a standard probability space, with the property that every definable set is Borel.…

A first-order theory has the Schroder-Bernstein property if any two of its models that are elementarily bi-embeddable are isomorphic. We prove that if a countable theory T has the Schroder-Bernstein property then it is classifiable (it is…

We report results on various techniques which allow to compute the expansion into Legendre (or in general Gegenbauer) polynomials in an efficient way. We describe in some detail the algebraic/symbolic approach already presented in Ref.1 and…

We consider normalizing sequences that can give rise to nondegenerate limittheorems for Birkhoff sums under the iteration of a conservative map. Mostclassical limit theorems involve normalizing sequences that are polynomial,possibly with an…

In this paper we calculate the collection of limit functions obtained by applying an extension of Zalcman's Lemma, due to X. C. Pang, to the non-normal family $\left\{f(nz):n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}$ in $\mathbb{C}$, where $f=Re^P$. Here $R$…

If $p_k$ is the k-th prime, the Firoozbakht conjecture states that the sequence $(p_k)^{1/k}$ is strictly decreasing. We use the table of first-occurrence prime gaps in combination with known bounds for the prime-counting function to verify…

The Central Sets Theorem was introduced by H. Furstenberg and then afterwards several mathematicians have provided various versions and extensions of this theorem. All of these theorems deal with central sets, and its origin from the…

Given a one-dimensional shift $X$, let $|F_X(\ell)|$ be the number of follower sets of words of length $\ell$ in $X$. We call the sequence $\{|F_X(\ell)|\}_{\ell \in \mathbb{N}}$ the follower set sequence of the shift $X$. Extender sets are…

The famous 1960s Lumer-Phillips Theorem states that a closed and densely defined operator $A\colon D(A)\subseteq X\rightarrow X$ on a Banach space $X$ generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup if and only if $(A,D(A))$ is…

We prove the following two results. Theorem A: Let alpha be a limit ordinal. Suppose that 2^{|alpha|}<aleph_alpha and 2^{|alpha|^+}<aleph_{|alpha|^+}, whereas aleph_alpha^{|alpha|}>aleph_{|alpha|^+}. Then for all n< omega and for all…

A new series of correlation inequalities for random field spin systems is proven rigorously. First one corresponds to the well-known Schwartz-Soffer inequality. These are expected to rule out incorrect results calculated in effective…

Let $G$ be a graph and $f: G\rightarrow G$ be a continuous map. We establish a structure theorem which describes the structures of the set $R(f)-\overline{P(f)}$, where $R(f)$ and $P(f)$ are the recurrent point set and the periodic point…
