We prove a conjecture by D. Zeilberger on the determinant of a certain matrix and relate it to a problem of non-existence of 1-cycles in this note.
After defining convex near-polygons, a formula enumerating the number of triangulations of such configurations is derived in terms of edge-polynomials. The paper describes also a transfer-matrix approach for computing quantities related to…
A detailed analysis of the PPT square conjecture is given.
The Ramanujan conjecture for modular forms of holomorphic type was proved by Deligne almost half a century ago: the proof, based on his earlier proof of Weil's conjectures, was an achievement of algebraic geometry. We give here a short…
We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland…
We give an elementary proof of the Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum conjecture for elliptic curves by using Kato's element.
The intersection matrix of a finite simplicial complex has as each of its entries the rank of the intersection of its respective simplices. We prove that such matrix defines the triangulation of a closed connected surface up to isomorphism.
In 1994, it was conjectured by Fan and Raspaud that every simple bridgeless cubic graph has three perfect matchings whose intersection is empty. In this paper we answer a question recently proposed by Mkrtchyan and Vardanyan, by giving an…
We prove that for almost square tensor product grids and certain sets of bivariate polynomials the Vandermonde determinant can be factored into a product of univariate Vandermonde determinants. This result generalizes the conjecture [Lemma…
We prove the Invariant Subspace Conjecture for separable Hilbert spaces.
In this short note the authors give answers to the three open problems formulated by Wu and Srivastava [{\it Appl. Math. Lett. 25 (2012), 1347--1353}]. We disprove the Problem 1, by showing that there exists a triangle which does not…
The celebrated Mason's conjecture states that the sequence of independent set numbers of any matroid is log-concave, and even ultra log-concave. The strong form of Mason's conjecture was independently solved by Anari, Liu, Oveis Gharan and…
The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…
We study self-adjoint matrix polynomial equations in a single variable and prove existence of self-adjoint solutions under some assumptions on the leading form. Our main result is that any self-adjoint matrix polynomial equation of odd…
In this paper, we state the validity of Cramer's rule in a tropical context and its correspondence with classical Cramer's rule. This correspondence will allow us to prove a constructive version of Pappus' theorem conjectured in the paper…
It is well known that the following Collatz Conjecture is one of the unsolved problems in mathematics. Collatz Conjecture: For any positive integer $n>1$, the following recursive algorithm will convergent to 1 by a finite number of steps.…
In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…
It is known that the paving conjecture fails for 2-paving projections with constant diagonal 1/2. But the proofs of this fact are existence proofs. We will give concrete examples of these projections and projections with constant diagonal…
Here we outline a proof for the 4-dimensional smooth Poincare Conjecture.
Using convex integration we give a constructive proof of the well-known fact that every continuous curve in a contact $3$-manifold can be approximated by a Legendrian curve.
