A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ shatters a set $A \subseteq [n]$ if for every $A' \subseteq A$ there is an $F \in \mathcal{F}$ such that $F \cap A=A'$. We develop a framework to analyze $f(n,k,d)$, the maximum…

We introduce the following variant of the VC-dimension. Given $S \subseteq \{0, 1\}^n$ and a positive integer $d$, we define $\mathbb{U}_d(S)$ to be the size of the largest subset $I \subseteq [n]$ such that the projection of $S$ on every…

Stable matching is a classical combinatorial problem that has been the subject of intense theoretical and empirical study since its introduction in 1962 in a seminal paper by Gale and Shapley. In this paper, we provide a new upper bound on…

We study the problem of embedding bipartite graphs in Ahlfors-David regular sets of large dimension using results from extremal graph theory. Our main theorem states that any graph satisfying a power-improving bound on the extremal number…

In 1965 Erd\H{o}s asked, what is the largest size of a family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set that does not have a matching of size $s+1$? In this note, we improve upon a recent result of Frankl and resolve this problem for…

In this paper, we give a lower bound for the maximum size of a $k$-colored sum-free set in $\mathbb{Z}_m^n$, where $k\geq 3$ and $m\geq 2$ are fixed and $n$ tends to infinity. If $m$ is a prime power, this lower bound matches (up to lower…

An old problem of Moser asks: how large of a union-free subfamily does every family of m sets have? A family of sets is called union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to…

Let $\lambda$ be the second largest eigenvalue in absolute value of a uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. It was famously conjectured by Alon and proved by Friedman that if $d$ is fixed independent of $n$, then…

Boros and Furedi (for d=2) and Barany (for abritrary d) proved that there exists a positive real number c_d such that for every set P of n points in R^d in general position, there exists a point of R^d contained in at least c_d…

Let $C^{2k}_r$ be the $2k$-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting $P_1,...,P_r$ be pairwise disjoint sets of size $k$ and taking as edges all sets $P_i \cup P_j$ with $i \neq j$. This can be thought of as the `$k$-expansion' of the complete…

We show that if A is a large subset of a box in Z^d with dimensions L_1 >= L_2 >= ... >= L_d which are all reasonably large, then |A + A| > 2^{d/48}|A|. By combining this with Chang's quantitative version of Freiman's theorem, we prove a…

A $d$-dimensional zero-one matrix $A$ avoids another $d$-dimensional zero-one matrix $P$ if no submatrix of $A$ can be transformed to $P$ by changing some ones to zeroes. Let $f(n,P,d)$ denote the maximum number of ones in a $d$-dimensional…

A set of $b$ mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in $\mathbb{C}^d$ (for $d > 1$) comprises $bd$ vectors in $\mathbb{C}^d$, partitioned into $b$ orthogonal bases for $\mathbb{C}^d$ such that the pairwise angle between all vectors from distinct…

For positive integers $n\geq k\geq t$, a collection $ \mathcal{B} $ of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set $ X $ is called a $t$-packing if every $t$-subset of $ X $ appears in at most one set in $\mathcal{B}$. In this paper, we give some upper and…

Given positive integers m,n,s,t, let z(m,n,s,t) be the maximum number of ones in a (0,1) matrix of size m-by-n that does not contain an all ones submatrix of size s-by-t. We find a flexible upper bound on z(m,n,s,t) that implies the known…

Let $f(n,k)$ be the largest number of positive integers not exceeding $n$ from which one cannot select $k+1$ pairwise coprime integers, and let $E(n,k)$ be the set of positive integers which do not exceed $n$ and can be divided by at least…

Klee's measure problem (computing the volume of the union of $n$ axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$) is well known to have $n^{\frac{d}{2}\pm o(1)}$-time algorithms (Overmars, Yap, SICOMP'91; Chan FOCS'13). Only recently, a conditional…

Let $\{(A_i,B_i)\}_{i=1}^m$ be a set pair system. F\"{u}redi, Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s and Kir\'{a}ly called it {\em $1$-cross intersecting} if $|A_i\cap B_j|$ is $1$ when $i\neq j$ and $0$ if $i=j$. They studied such systems and their…

Uniform laws of large numbers form a cornerstone of Vapnik--Chervonenkis theory, where they are characterized by the finiteness of the VC dimension. In this work, we study uniform convergence phenomena in cartesian product spaces, under…

The Hirsch conjecture, posed in 1957, stated that the graph of a $d$-dimensional polytope or polyhedron with $n$ facets cannot have diameter greater than $n - d$. The conjecture itself has been disproved, but what we know about the…
