A theorem of Kleitman states that a collection of binary vectors with diameter d has cardinality at most that of a Hamming ball of radius d/2. In this paper, we give a q-analog of it.

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

In this work we prove the following: let $K$ be a convex body in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, contained in the interior of the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $p\in \mathbb{R}^n$ be a point such that, from each point…

We consider the Bohr radius $R_n$ for the class of complex polynomials in one variable of degree at most $n$. It was conjectured by R. Fournier in 2008 that $R_n={1\over 3}+{\pi^2\over {3n^2}}+o({1\over n^2})$. We shall prove this…

We present a full geometric characterization of the $1$-dimensional (semialgebraic) images $S$ of either $n$-dimensional closed balls $\overline{\mathcal B}_n\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ or $n$-dimensional spheres ${\mathbb S}^n\subset{\mathbb…

Let S=K[x_1,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring and R=S/I be a graded K-algebra where I is a graded ideal in S. Herzog, Huneke and Srinivasan have conjectured that the multiplicity of R is bounded above by a function of the maximal shifts in the…

We investigate game-theoretic variants of cardinal invariants of the continuum. The invariants we treat are the reaping number $\mathfrak{r}$, the bounding number $\mathfrak{b}$, the dominating number $\mathfrak{d}$, and the additivity…

Spectral approximation by polynomials on the unit ball is studied in the frame of the Sobolev spaces $W^{s}_p(\ball)$, $1<p<\infty$. The main results give sharp estimates on the order of approximation by polynomials in the Sobolev spaces…

We study expansion/contraction properties of some common classes of mappings of the Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^n, n\ge 2\,,$ with respect to the distance ratio metric. The first main case is the behavior of M\"obius transformations of the…

We prove a result on the singularities of ball quotients $\Gamma\backslash\CC H^n$. More precisely, we show that a ball quotient has canonical singularities under certain restrictions on the dimension $n$ and the underlying lattice. We also…

We prove that the cardinality of transitive quasi-uniformities in a quasi-proximity class is at least $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$ if there exist at least two transitive quasi-uniformities in the class. The transitive elements of $\pi(\delta)$ are…

We demonstrate the truth of the sunflower conjecture by showing that a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets each of cardinality at most $m$ includes a $k$-sunflower, if $|\mathcal{F}| > ( c k )^{2m}$ for a constant $c>0$ independent of $m$ and $k$,…

The width $w$ of a curve $\gamma$ in Euclidean space $R^n$ is the infimum of the distances between all pairs of parallel hyperplanes which bound $\gamma$, while its inradius $r$ is the supremum of the radii of all spheres which are…

We consider the occupancy problem where balls are thrown independently at infinitely many boxes with fixed positive frequencies. It is well known that the random number of boxes occupied by the first n balls is asymptotically normal if its…

We study the dynamics of polynomial mappings f:C^k to C^k of degree at least 2 that extend continuously to projective space P^k. Our approach is to study the dynamics near the hyperplane at infinity and then making a descent to K --- the…

New bounds on the cardinality of permutation codes equipped with the Ulam distance are presented. First, an integer-programming upper bound is derived, which improves on the Singleton-type upper bound in the literature for some lengths.…

A set of points $S$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ is called a 2-distance set if the set of pairwise distances between the points has cardinality two. The 2-distance set is called spherical if its points lie on the unit…

We generalize the classical notion of packing a set by balls with identical radii to the case where the radii may be different. The largest number of such balls that fit inside the set without overlapping is called its {\em non-uniform…

Let m be a probability measure supported on some infinite and compact set K in the complex plane and let p_n(z) be the corresponding degree n orthonormal polynomial with positive leading coefficient. Let v_n be the normalized zero counting…

We describe the eigenvalues and the eigenspaces of the adjacency matrices of subgraphs of the Hamming cube induced by Hamming balls, and more generally, by a union of adjacent concentric Hamming spheres. As a corollary, we extend the range…
