We consider cubic number fields ordered by their discriminants, and show that there exist arbitrarily long sequences that contain only fields with class numbers greater than a given bound.
Counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles that are contained in a geometric graph is {\bf \#P}-complete even if the graph is known to be planar \cite{lot:refer}. A relaxation for problems in plane geometric graphs is to allow the geometric…
The famous Dirac's Theorem gives an exact bound on the minimum degree of an $n$-vertex graph guaranteeing the existence of a hamiltonian cycle. We prove exact bounds of similar type for hamiltonian Berge cycles in $r$-uniform, $n$-vertex…
Let $X$ be a planar smooth vector field with a polycycle $\Gamma^n$ with $n$ sides and all its corners, that are at most $n$ singularities, being hyperbolic saddles. In this paper we study the cyclicity of $\Gamma^n$ in terms of the…

In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle, which is applicable to a wide variety of graphs, including relatively sparse graphs. In contrast to previous criteria, ours is based on only two…
In this paper we maximize a class of functionals under certain constraints. We find sufficient and necessary conditions for these maximizers to exist and be unique. Moreover, we characterize them and discuss the optimality of our results by…
In this review we consider the concept of limit cycles in the renormalization group flows. The examples of this phenomena in the quantum mechanics and field theory will be presented.
In a recent work it was suggested that the number of limit cycles in a piecewise-linear system could be closely related to the number of zones, that is the number of parts of the phase plane where the system is linear. In this note we…
We show that every $n$-vertex $5$-connected planar triangulation has at most $9n-50$ many cycles of length $5$ for all $n\ge 20$ and this upper bound is tight. We also show that for every $k\geq 6$, there exists some constant $C(k)$ such…
This paper studies the family of piecewise linear differential systems in the plane with two pieces separated by a cubic curve. By analyzing the obtained first order Melnikov function, we give an upper bound of the number of limit cycles…
A cycle system of order $n$ is a decomposition of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ into cycles of a fixed length. A cycle system is said to be $k$-colourable if we can assign $k$ colours to its vertices so that no cycle is…
For a polynomial differential system $$\dot{x}=-y+\sum\limits_{i+j=3}\alpha_{i,j}x^iy^j,\quad \dot{y}=x+\sum\limits_{i+j=3}\beta_{i,j}x^iy^j,$$ Pleshkan (Differ. Equations, 1969) proved that the origin is an isochronous center of this…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of smooth Lyapunov 1-forms for the flow of a smooth vector field in terms of the behavior of certain locally finite invariant measures. The main statement generalizes a result of…
A theorem on the existence of exactly $N$ limit cycles around a critical point for the Lienard system $\ddot{x}+f(x) \dot{x}+g(x) =0$ is proved. An alogrithm on the determination of a desired number of limit cycles for this system has been…
In this work we consider families of smooth vector fields having a persistent polycycle with $n$ hyperbolic saddles. We derive the asymptotic expansion of the return map associated to the polycycle, determining explicitly its leading terms.…
In this note, we investigate the possibility of avoiding the Big Bang singularity with a single scalar field which couples non-minimally to gravity. We show that in the case that gravity couples linearly to the field, some severe conditions…
We give a simple proof of MacLane's algebraic planarity criterion for graphs. This proof does not use any other known planarity criteria. Keywords: graph, planarity, cycle space, a simple basis of a graph.
We study the projections in vector spaces over finite fields. We prove finite fields analogues of the bounds on the dimensions of the exceptional sets for Euclidean projection mapping. We provide examples which do not have exceptional…
We discuss different generalizations of the classical notion of the index of a singular point of a vector field to the case of vector fields or 1-forms on singular varieties, describe relations between them and formulae for their…
