A novel approach to an old symmetry problem is developed. A new proof is given for the following symmetry problem, studied earlier.

We study the famous mathematical puzzle of prisoners and hats. We introduce a framework in which various variants of the problem can be formalized. We examine three particular versions of the problem (each one in fact a class of problems)…

The future of mathematics is described, by using the WZ algorithmic proof theory as a parable.

The paper contains a discussion on a number of open problems in queueing theory. Some of them are known for decades, some are more recent. They relate to stability and to rare events. There is an idea to prepare a special issue of QUESTA on…

There are the longstanding differences in the continuity of continuum among mathematicians. Starting from studies on a mathematical model of contact, we construct a set that is in contact everywhere by using the original idea of Dedekind's…

We survey recent developments on the Restriction conjecture.

In this short note we briefly review some recent mathematical results relevant to the classical Regge Calculus evolution problem.

This paper has two parts. The first part surveys Euler's work on the constant gamma=0.57721... bearing his name, together with some of his related work on the gamma function, values of the zeta function and divergent series. The second part…

Over 300 sequences and many unsolved problems and conjectures related to them are presented herein together with theorems corollaries, formulae, examples, mathematical criteria, etc. (about integer sequences, numbers, quotients, residues,…

The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.

The halting problem is considered to be an essential part of the theoretical background to computing. That halting is not in general computable has supposedly been proved in many text books and taught on many computer science courses, in…

In this short note we prove a result that is an extension of an old Olympiad problem and is a very simple variant of the question of finding an approximation for $k$, where it is a nonzero constant and it satisfies the equation $a^k+b^k=c$,…

In this paper we propose a new perspective on the evolution and history of the idea of mathematical proof. Proofs will be studied at three levels: syntactical, semantical and pragmatical. Computer-assisted proofs will be give a special…

Summing the values of the real portion of the logarithmic integral of n^rho, where rho is one of a consecutive series of zeros of the Riemann zeta function, reveals an unexpected periodicity to the sum. This is the cycle problem.

We provide empirical evidence for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture by improving computational bounds to $10^{18}$ and by evaluating the solution-counting function $f(p)$ for this conjecture.

The Collatz problem is related to the fixed point problem, and is widely used in mathematics. It has attracted a wide range of math enthusiasts, but is still difficult to solve. So, this article aimed to study the extension of the Collatz…

A covering system is a finite collection of arithmetic progressions whose union is the set of integers. The study of these objects was initiated by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, and over the following decades he asked many questions about them. Most…

Brief account of results on the Cauchy problem for the Einstein equations starting with early the works of Darmois and Lichnerowicz and going up to the proofs of the existence and uniqueness of solutions global in space and local in time,…

The Frankl conjecture (called also union-closed sets conjecture) is one of the famous unsolved conjectures in combinatorics of finite sets. In this short note, we introduce and to some extent justify some variants of the Frankl conjecture.

The coincidence problem of late cosmic acceleration constitutes a serious riddle with regard to our understanding of the evolution of the Universe. Here we argue that this problem may someday be solved -or better understood- by expressing…
