The aim of this paper is to describe the origin, first solutions, further progress, the state of art, and a new ansatz in the treatment of a problem dating back to the 1920's, which still has not found a satisfactory solution and deserves…
On [3, p. 199] one says "We mention parenthetically that the proof of [99, Lemma 41.3] is incorrect, and we do not know whether it, [99, Theorem 41.5] and [99, Theorem 41.6] are true". The previously cited reference [99] is our reference…
We discuss and give elementary proofs of results of Brion and of Lawrence-Varchenko on the lattice-point enumerator generating functions for polytopes and cones. This largely expository note contains a new proof of Brion's Formula using…
We give another bit of evidence that forcing axioms provide proper framework for rigidity of quotient structures, by improving the OCA lifting theorem proved by the author in late 20th century and greatly simplifying its proof. In the…
It is not the purpose of this correspondence to complain about that six out of seven theorems listed in Porcu and Schilling (arXiv:0812.2936; 2011, Bernoulli) belong to others, but not to the authors themselves. This is simply a call for…
In this note, we establish the validity of a conjecture recently proposed in Mathematics Magazine and connect it to the existing interesting results
In this note, we prove a theorem covering Chartrand, Kaigars, and Lick's theorem in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 32 (1972), 63-68]. As an application, we give a simpler proof of theorem proved by Mader [J. Graph Theory 65 (2010), 61-69. (Theorem…
I describe the early (1974--75) work I did on what is now called the Zeno problem in quantum mechanics. Then I propose a new formulation which may obviate a vexing problem of operator limits and which also may be more…
C.Swartz' result on tensor product measures is reviewed with proofs from the scratch.
This article is the text of a commentary on a talk delivered by Mark Textor entitled 'Brentano's Positing Theory of Existence' in December 2015. It contains ideas on implementing Textor's Neo-Brentanian theory of existence in a natural…
This comment has been withdrawn by the authors due to crucial error.
The \v{C}ern\'y's conjecture states that for every synchronizing automaton with n states there exists a reset word of length not exceeding (n-11)^2. We prove this conjecture for a class of automata preserving certain properties of intervals…
In [AL11], S.S Abhyankar and I. Luengo introduce a new theory of dicritical divisors in the most general framework. Here we simplify and generalize their results (see Theorems 3.1 and 3.2).
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors as requested by the journal.
We prove two theorems on cohomologically complete complexes. These theorems are inspired by, and yield an alternative proof of, a recent theorem of P. Schenzel on complete modules.
In the study of random access machines (RAMs) it has been shown that the availability of an extra input integer, having no special properties other than being sufficiently large, is enough to reduce the computational complexity of some…
In the early 1980s, Mills, Robbins and Rumsey conjectured, and in 1996 Zeilberger proved a simple product formula for the number of $n \times n$ alternating sign matrices with a 1 at the top of the $i$-th column. We give an alternative…
A new tool is introduced, specially tailored for the study of order 2 bases of N. It is called the Erdos-Tuan algebra since it suits well their conjecture.
In this note, we introduce a very crude but natural notion of measure on the class of left R-modules over a ring R. We use this notion to give short proofs of some classical theorems on (left) Artinian rings and modules, due to Akizuki,…
