If an $n$-uniform hypergraph can be 2-colored, then it is said to have property B. Erd\H{o}s (1963) was the first to give lower and upper bounds for the minimal size $m(n)$ of an $n$-uniform hypergraph without property B. His asymptotic…

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

We prove asymptotic 0-1 Laws satisfied by diagrams of unimodal sequences of positive integers. These diagrams consist of columns of squares in the plane, and the upper boundary is called the shape. For various types, we show that, as the…

Von Neumann's original proof of the ergodic theorem is revisited. A uniform convergence rate is established under the assumption that one can control the density of the spectrum of the underlying self-adjoint operator when restricted to…

In this paper, we derive new properties of the Mertens function and discuss a likely upper bound of the absolute value of the Mertens function $\sqrt{\log{x!}}>|M(x)|$ when $x>1$. Using this likely bound we show that we have a sufficient…

We prove that there is a universal measure on the unit circle such that any probability measure on the unit disk is the limit distribution of some subsequence of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials. This follows from an extension of a…

We consider the problem of packing a large square with nonoverlapping unit squares. Let $W(x)$ be the minimum wasted area when a large square of side length $x$ is packed with unit squares. In Roth and Vaughan's paper that proves the lower…

We suggest an upper bound on binomial coefficients that holds over the entire parameter range and whose form repeats the form of the de Moivre-Laplace approximation of the symmetric binomial distribution. Using the bound, we estimate the…

We investigate the problem of showing that the values of a given polynomial are smooth (i.e., have no large prime factors) a positive proportion of the time. Although some results exist that bound the number of smooth values of a polynomial…

Assuming the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we show that for all k, there exist polynomials with coefficients in $\MA$ having no arithmetic circuits of size O(n^k) over the complex field (allowing any complex constant). We also build…

The problem of characterizing a real polynomial $f$ as a sum of squares of polynomials on a real algebraic variety $V$ dates back to the pioneering work of Hilbert in [Mathematische Annalen 32.3 (1888): 342-350]. In this paper, we…

We show that any n-vertex complete graph with edges colored with three colors contains a set of at most four vertices such that the number of the neighbors of these vertices in one of the colors is at least 2n/3. The previous best value,…

Let f(n,m) be the maximum of the sum of the squares of degrees of a graph with n vertices and m edges. Summarizing earlier research, we present a concise, asymptotically sharp upper bound on f(n,m), better than the bound of de Caen for…

We define sets of orthogonal polynomials satisfying the additional constraint of a vanishing average. These are of interest, for example, for the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional for electronic or nucleonic densities and for the study…

A set of integers $A$ is non-averaging if there is no element $a$ in $A$ which can be written as an average of a subset of $A$ not containing $a$. We show that the largest non-averaging subset of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ has size $n^{1/4+o(1)}$,…

Let A be a finite nonempty subset of an additive abelian group G, and let \Sigma(A) denote the set of all group elements representable as a sum of some subset of A. We prove that |\Sigma(A)| >= |H| + 1/64 |A H|^2 where H is the stabilizer…

Consider the partially ordered set on $[t]^n:=\{0,\dots,t-1\}^n$ equipped with the natural coordinate-wise ordering. Let $A(t,n)$ denote the number of antichains of this poset. The quantity $A(t,n)$ has a number of combinatorial…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…

We consider the following random graph process: starting with n isolated vertices, add edges uniformly at random provided no such edge creates a copy of C_4. We show that, with probability tending to 1 as $n \to \infty$, the final graph…

We study the minimization of fixed-degree polynomials over the simplex. This problem is well-known to be NP-hard, as it contains the maximum stable set problem in graph theory as a special case. In this paper, we consider a rational…
