In this note we disprove a conjecture of Kuzmin and Warmuth claiming that every family whose VC-dimension is at most d admits an unlabeled compression scheme to a sample of size at most d. We also study the unlabeled compression schemes of…

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding a maximum cardinality subset of vectors, given a constraint on the normalized squared length of vectors sum. This problem is closely related to Problem 1 from (Eremeev, Kel'manov, Pyatkin,…

Resolving a conjecture of Methuku and the first author we determine the size of the largest family of subsets of an $n$-element set avoiding both $Y_k$ and $Y_k'$ as induced subposets. The result follows as a consequence of the analogous…

An $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear set of rank $k$ on a projective line $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^h)$, containing at least one point of weight one, has size at least $q^{k-1}+1$ (see [J. De Beule and G. Van De Voorde, The minimum size of a linear set, J.…

We consider encoding problems for range queries on arrays. In these problems the goal is to store a structure capable of recovering the answer to all queries that occupies the information theoretic minimum space possible, to within lower…

The collection of all $n$-point metric spaces of diameter $\le 1$ constitutes a polytope $\mathcal{M}_n \subset \mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}$, called the \emph{Metric Polytope}. In this paper, we consider the best approximations of…

In this work we study subdivisions of $k$-rotationally symmetric planar convex bodies that minimize the maximum relative diameter functional. For some particular subdivisions called $k$-partitions, consisting of $k$ curves meeting in an…

\emph{A maximal distance minimizer} for a given compact set $M \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and some given $r > 0$ is a set having the minimal length (one-dimensional Hausdorff measure) over the class of closed connected sets $\Sigma \subset…

This is the second in a sequence of three papers investigating the question for which positive integers $m$ there exists a maximal antichain of size $m$ in the Boolean lattice $B_n$ (the power set of $[n]:=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$, ordered by…

We investigate the length $\ell(n,k)$ of a shortest preset distinguishing sequence (PDS) in the worst case for a $k$-element subset of an $n$-state Mealy automaton. It was mentioned by Sokolovskii that this problem is closely related to the…

Let $n\geqslant 4$ be a natural number, and let $K$ be a set $K\subseteq [n]:={1,2,...,n}$. We study the problem to find the smallest possible size of a maximal family $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of $[n]$ such that $\mathcal{A}$ contains only…

We develop an algorithm that determines, for a given squarefree binary form $F$ with real coefficients, a smallest representative of its orbit under $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb Z)$, either with respect to the Euclidean norm or with respect…

In this paper we study two directions of extending the classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem which states that any family of $k$-element subsets of the set $[n] = \{1,\ldots,n\}$ in which any two sets intersect, has cardinality at most…

Let $ k, n \in \mathbb{N}^+ $ and $ m \in \mathbb{N}^+ \cup \{\infty \} $. A $ k $-multiset in $ [n]_m $ is a $ k $-set whose elements are integers from $ \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $, and each element is allowed to have at most $ m $ repetitions.…

Extremal problems on set systems with restricted intersections have been an important part of combinatorics in the last 70 year. In this paper, we study the following Ramsey version of these problems. Given a set $L\subseteq…

A class of one-dimensional convolutional codes will be presented. They are all MDS codes, i. e., have the largest distance among all one-dimensional codes of the same length n and overall constraint length delta. Furthermore, their extended…

Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a discrete valued field with finite residue field. In analogy with orthogonality in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, there is a well-studied notion of "ultrametric orthogonality" in $\mathcal{K}^n$. In this paper,…

In this paper, we introduce a weakening of the Freiman isomorphisms between subsets of non necessarily abelian groups. Inspired by the breakthrough result of Kravitz, [14], on cyclic groups, as a first application, we prove that any subset…

Every graph G can be embedded in a Euclidean space as a two-distance set. The Euclidean representation number of G is the smallest dimension in which G is representable by such an embedding. We consider spherical and J-spherical…

The present work is the first member of a pair of papers concerning decreasingly-minimal (dec-min) elements of a set of integral vectors, where a vector is dec-min if its largest component is as small as possible, within this, the next…
