In this paper we find asymptotic enumerations for the number of line graphs on $n$-labelled vertices and for different types of related combinatorial objects called 2-covers. We find that the number of 2-covers, $s_n$, and proper 2-covers,…

It is a classical fact that every $n$-element set of positive reals has at least $\binom{n+1}{2}+1$ distinct subset sums, with equality exactly for homogeneous arithmetic progressions (when $n\geq 4$). We establish stability versions of…

Erd\H{o}s asked for the largest size $f(n)$ of a subset of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ with no element dividing two others. We show that $f(n)=c_2\,n+o(n)$ for an effectively computable constant $c_2$, and moreover that the number $q(n)$ of such…

We give a negative answer to a question by Paul Erd\H{o}s and Ronald Graham on whether the series \[ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(n+1)(n+2)\cdots(n+f(n))} \] has an irrational sum whenever $(f(n))_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of positive…

A set of integers is \emph{primitive} if it does not contain an element dividing another. Denote by $f(n)$ the number of maximum-size primitive subsets of $\{1,\ldots, 2n\}$. We prove that the limit $\alpha=\lim_{n\rightarrow…

A set of integers $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an $\alpha$-strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on $\alpha$, more specifically if $| (x+w) - (y+z) | \geq \max \{…

Let $\mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}=\{ \alpha^n \; : \; \alpha \in \mathbb{Q}, \; n \ge 2\}$ be the set of rational perfect powers, and let $S \subseteq \mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite subset. We prove the existence of a polynomial $f_S \in…

Let ${\Bbb F}_2$ be the finite field of two elements, ${\Bbb F}_2^n$ be the vector space of dimension $n$ over ${\Bbb F}_2$. For sets $A,\,B\subseteq{\Bbb F}_2^n$, their sumset is defined as the set of all pairwise sums $a+b$ with $a\in…

Given an infinite group G, we consider the finitely additive measure defined on finite unions of cosets of finite index subgroups. We show that this shares many properties with the size of subsets of a finite group, for instance we can…

We consider the set of finite sequences of length n over a finite or countable alphabet C. We consider the function which associate each given sequence with the size of the maximum overlap with a (shifted) copy of itself. We compute the…

In this paper we provide two results. The first one consists an infinitary version of the Furstenberg-Weiss Theorem. More precisely we show that every subset $A$ of a homogeneous tree $T$ such that $\frac{|A\cap T(n)|}{|T(n)|}\geq\delta$,…

Infinite antichains of permutations have long been used to construct interesting permutation classes and counterexamples. We prove the existence and detail the construction of infinite antichains with arbitrarily large growth rates. As a…

In this paper we prove that if $A$ and $B$ are infinite subsets of positive integers such that every positive integer $n$ can be written as $n=ab$, $a\in A$, $b\in B$, then $\displaystyle \lim_{x\to \infty}\frac{A(x)B(x)}{x}=\infty $. We…

In this paper we show that every sequence (F_n) of finite dimensional subspaces of a real or complex Banach space with increasing dimensions can be ``refined'' to yield an F.D.D. (G_n), still having increasing dimensions, so that either…

A set $A$ is dually Dedekind finite if every surjection from $A$ onto $A$ is injective; otherwise, $A$ is dually Dedekind infinite. An amorphous set is an infinite set that cannot be partitioned into two infinite subsets. A strictly…

Odifreddi asked whether every non-irreducible many-one degree must contain an infinite antichain of one-one degrees. Positive answers are known for computably enumerable many-one degrees (Degtev) and, more recently, for many-one degrees…

We construct counterexamples for the partial data inverse problem for the fractional conductivity equation in all dimensions on general bounded open sets. In particular, we show that for any bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and…

Fix a prime $p\geq 11$. We show that there exists a positive integer $m$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_p^n\times\mathbb{F}_p^n$ containing no nontrivial configurations of the form $(x,y),(x,y+z),(x,y+2z),(x+z,y)$ must have density…

A new notion of thickness for subsets of $B[0,1]\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ called affine thickness is defined; this notion of thickness is a generalisation of Falconer-Yavicoli thickness and is adapted to be used in the study of certain sets…

This is the second in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that together develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of Out(F_n). In this paper we relativize the "Kolchin-type theorem" from the work of…
