A linear $3$-graph is a set of vertices along with a set of edges, which are three element subsets of the vertices, such that any two edges intersect in at most one vertex. The crown, $C$, is a specific $3$-graph consisting of three…
We consider the complexity of finding a correlated equilibrium of an $n$-player game in a model that allows the algorithm to make queries on players' payoffs at pure strategy profiles. Randomized regret-based dynamics are known to yield an…
We prove Tur\'an-type theorems for two related Ramsey problems raised by Bollob\'as and by Fox and Sudakov. First, for $t \ge 3$, we show that any two-colouring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices that is $\delta$-far from being…
The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…
We prove an explicit upper bound on the amount of entanglement required by any strategy in a two-player cooperative game with classical questions and quantum answers. Specifically, we show that every strategy for a game with n-bit questions…
The classical cake cutting problem studies how to find fair allocations of a heterogeneous and divisible resource among multiple agents. Two of the most commonly studied fairness concepts in cake cutting are proportionality and…
We consider sequential random packing of cubes $z+[0,1]^n$ with $z\in \frac{1}{N}\ZZ^n$ into the cube $[0,2]^n$ and the torus $\QuotS{\RR^n}{2\ZZ^n}$ as $N\to\infty$. In the cube case $[0,2]^n$ as $N\to\infty$ the random cube packings thus…
Twin prime number problem is mainly the structure of the twin prime numbers and whether there are infinitely many prime twins group. In this paper, by constructing a special cluster number set(see formula(2.3)in the paper), proves that the…
It is well-known that the congruence $\sum_{i=1}^{ n} i^{ n} \equiv 1 \pmod{n}$ has exactly five solutions: $\{1,2,6,42,1806\}$. In this work, we characterize the solutions to the congruence $1^n + 2^n + \dotsb + n^n\equiv p \pmod{n}$ for…
We show the chess billiard map, which was introduced in [HM] in order to study a generalization of the $n$-Queens problem in chess, is a circle homeomorphism. We give a survey of some of the known results on circle homeomorphisms, and apply…
In this paper, we show that the treewidth of the $n \times n$ toroidal grid is $2n-1$ for all $n \ge 5$. This closes the gap between the previously known upper bound of $2n-1$ (Ellis and Warren, DAM 2008) and the lower bound of $2n-2$…
We consider the following Tur\'an-type problem: given a fixed tournament $H$, what is the least integer $t=t(n,H)$ so that adding $t$ edges to any $n$-vertex tournament, results in a digraph containing a copy of $H$. Similarly, what is the…
We study outer length billiards; our main results are as follows. We prove 3- and 4-periodic versions of the Ivrii conjecture. We show that, for every period $n\ge 3$, there exists a functional space of billiard tables that possess…
We consider a generalization of the standard oracle model in which the oracle acts on the target with a permutation selected according to internal random coins. We describe several problems that are impossible to solve classically but can…
A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ exhibits Poissonian pair correlation if for all $s\geq0$, \begin{equation*} \lim_{N\to\infty} \frac{1}{N}\#\left\{1\leq m\neq n \leq N : |x_m-x_n| \leq \frac{s}{N}\right\} = 2s.…
A tournament is an orientation of a complete graph. We say that a vertex $x$ in a tournament $\vec T$ controls another vertex $y$ if there exists a directed path of length at most two from $x$ to $y$. A vertex is called a king if it…
We describe a method that we believe may be foundational for a comprehensive theory of generalised Turan problems. The cornerstone of our approach is a quasirandom counting lemma for quasirandom hypergraphs, which extends the standard…
We study the equilibrium solutions of three player Kuhn poker with $N>3$ cards. We compute these solutions as a function of the initial pot size, $P$, using a novel method based on regularizing the system of polynomial equations and…
The paper considers the problem of finding the largest possible set P(n), a subset of the set N of the natural numbers, with the property that a number is in P(n) if and only if it is a sum of n distinct naturals all in P(n) or none in…
Planar point sets with many triple lines (which contain at least three distinct points of the set) have been studied for 180 years, started with Jackson and followed by Sylvester. Green and Tao has shown recently that the maximum possible…
