We consider families of $k$-subsets of $\{1, \dots, n\}$, where $n$ is a multiple of $k$, which have no perfect matching. An equivalent condition for a family $\mathcal{F}$ to have no perfect matching is for there to be a blocking set,…

In this paper, we study the cardinality of the distance set $\Delta(A, B)$ determined by two subsets $A$ and $B$ of the $d$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Assuming that $A$ or $B$ lies in a $k$-coordinate plane…

In 1997 Cochran-Orr-Teichner introduced a natural filtration, called the n-solvable filtration, of the smooth knot concordance group, C. Its terms {F_n} are indexed by half integers. We show that each associated graded abelian group…

A theorem of Galvin asserts that if the unordered pairs of reals are partitioned into finitely many Borel classes then there is a perfect set P such that all pairs from P lie in the same class. The generalization to n-tuples for n >= 3 is…

We present a concise proof for the supporting hyperplane theorem. We then observe that the proof not only establishes the supporting hyperplane theorem but also extends it to a hyperplane separation theorem for certain non-convex sets. The…

Following a systematic analysis of existing results, we investigate when complete interlacing between the zeros of distinct polynomial sequences, $\{\mathcal{P}_n\}$ and $\{\mathcal{G}_n\}$ can be achieved by using a naturally arising extra…

Let $F$ be a field. Following the resolution of Milnor's conjecture relating the graded Witt ring of $F$ to its mod-2 Milnor $K$-theory, a major problem in the theory of symmetric bilinear forms is to understand, for any positive integer…

Let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be independent integers distributed uniformly on $\{1,\dots, M\}$, $M=M(n)\to\infty$ however slow. A partition $S$ of $[n]$ into $\nu$ non-empty subsets $S_1,\dots, S_{\nu}$ is called perfect, if all $\nu$ values…

Recently, Blecher and Knopfmacher explored the notion of fixed points in integer partitions. Here, we distinguish partitions with a fixed point by which value is fixed and analyze the resulting triangle of integers. In particular, we…

Tibor Gallai conjectured that the edge set of every connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into $\lceil n/2\rceil$ paths. Let $\mathcal{G}_{k}$ be the class of all $2k$-regular graphs of girth at least $2k-2$ that admit a…

We set out an elementary approach to derive Visible Point Identities summed on lattice points of inverted triangle (2D), pyramid (3D), hyperpyramid (4D, 5D and so on) utilizing the greatest common divisor for the nD Visible Point Vectors.…

M. Levin defined a real number $x$ that satisfies that the sequence of the fractional parts of $(2^n x)_{n\geq 1}$ are such that the first $N$ terms have discrepancy $O((\log N)^2/ N)$, which is the smallest discrepancy known for this kind…

We introduce a very natural generalization of the well-known problem of simultaneous congruences. Instead of searching for a positive integer $s$ that is specified by $n$ fixed remainders modulo integer divisors $a_1,\dots,a_n$ we consider…

In this paper we study the problem of deciding whether two disjoint semialgebraic sets of an algebraic variety over R are separable by a polynomial. For that we isolate a dense subfamily of Spaces of Orderings, named Geometric, which…

In 1967, Kadison asked ``does every type $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor have an orthonormal (with respect to the trace) basis consisting of unitaries?'' Using a noncommutative Lyapunov theorem of Akemann and Weaver, we prove that if $M$ is a…

A partition n = p_1 + p_2 + ... + p_k with 1 <= p_1 <= p_2 <= ... <= p_k is called non-squashing if p_1 + ... + p_j <= p_{j+1} for 1 <= j <= k-1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the…

In this paper, the existence of perfect and quasi-perfect splitter sets in finite abelian groups is studied, motivated by their application in coding theory for flash memory storage. For perfect splitter sets we view them as splittings of…

The perfect matching association scheme is a set of relations on the perfect matchings of the complete graph on $2n$ vertices. The relations between perfect matchings are defined by the cycle structure of the union of any two perfect…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{F_1,F_2, \ldots,F_n\}$ be a family of $n$ sets on a ground set $S$, such as a family of balls in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For every finite measure $\mu$ on $S$, such that the sets of $\mathcal{F}$ are measurable, the classical…

In this paper, we prove some new thickness theorems with partial derivatives. We give some applications. First, we give a simple criterion that can judge whether two scaled Cantor sets have non-empty intersection. Second, we prove under…
