Let $n$ be a positive integer. The Diophantine equation $n(x_1+x_2+\dots +x_n)=x_1x_2\dots x_n$, $1 \le x_1\le x_2\le \dots \le x_n$ is called Erd\H{o}s's last equation. We prove that $x_n\to \infty $ as $n\to \infty$ and determine all…

A $k$-configuration is a collection of $k$ distinct integers $x_1,\ldots,x_k$ together with their pairwise arithmetic means $\frac{x_i+x_j}{2}$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq k$. Building on recent work of Filmus, Hatami, Hosseini and Kelman on…

Matom\"aki proved that if $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ is irrational, then there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $|\alpha-a/p|\le p^{-4/3+\varepsilon}$ for a suitable integer a. In this paper, we extend this result to all quadratic…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked for the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have if it does not contain two edge-disjoint cycles on the same vertex set. It is known that Tur\'an-type results can be used to prove an upper bound of…

Motivated by the problem of filtering candidate pairs in inner product similarity joins we study the following inner product estimation problem: Given parameters $d\in {\bf N}$, $\alpha>\beta\geq 0$ and unit vectors $x,y\in {\bf R}^{d}$…

Let $d$ be a positive integer. Let $p$ be a prime number. Let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number of degree $d+1$. We establish that there exist a positive constant $c$ and infinitely many algebraic numbers $\xi$ of degree $d$ such that…

For a graph $G=(V,E)$, let $bc(G)$ denote the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ so that each edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that for every graph $G$, $bc(G) \leq n…

Erd\H{o}s posed the question whether there exist infinitely many sets of consecutive numbers whose least common multiple (lcm) exceeds the lcm of another, larger set with greater consecutive numbers. In this paper, we answer this question…

We show that for every $\alpha > 0$, there exist $n$-point metric spaces (X,d) where every "scale" admits a Euclidean embedding with distortion at most $\alpha$, but the whole space requires distortion at least $\Omega(\sqrt{\alpha \log…

Erd\H{o}s and Rothschild asked to estimate the maximum number, denoted by H(N,C), such that every N-vertex graph with at least CN^2 edges, each of which is contained in at least one triangle, must contain an edge that is in at least H(N,C)…

We study the extent to which divisors of a typical integer $n$ are concentrated. In particular, defining the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function by $\Delta(n) := \max_t \# \{d | n, \log d \in [t,t+1]\}$, we show that $\Delta(n) \geq (\log…

We prove there exist infinitely many odd integers $n$ for which there exists a pair of positive divisors $d_1, d_2>1$ of $(n^2+1)/2$ such that $$d_1+d_2=\delta n+(\delta+2).$$ We prove the similar result for $\varepsilon=\delta-2$ and…

Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. We provide details for the proof of a statement of Erd\H{o}s implying that, for any function $\xi(n)$ tending to infinity with…

A new, constructive proof with a small explicit constant is given to the Erd\H{o}s-Pyber theorem which says that the edges of a graph on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into complete bipartite subgraphs so that every vertex is covered at…

We refine a remark of Steinerberger (2024), proving that for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists integers $1 \leq b_{1}, \ldots, b_{k} \leq n$ such that \[ \left\| \sum_{j=1}^k \sqrt{b_j} - \alpha \right\| = O(n^{-\gamma_k}), \] where…

An important result of H. Weyl states that for every sequence $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n\geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers the sequence of fractional parts of $\left(a_{n} \alpha \right)_{n \geq1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for…

We present two short proofs giving the best known asymptotic lower bound for the maximum element in a set of $n$ positive integers with distinct subset sums.

We present an explicit subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{N} = \{0,1,\ldots\}$ such that $A + A = \mathbb{N}$ and for all $\varepsilon > 0$, \[\lim_{N\to \infty}\frac{\big|\big\{(n_1,n_2): n_1 + n_2 = N, (n_1,n_2)\in…

The triangle covering number of a graph is the minimum number of vertices that hit all triangles. Given positive integers $s,t$ and an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor +t$ edges and triangle covering number $s$, we determine…

We consider the problem of finding a large clique in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only query a limited number of edges. Recall that the largest clique in $G \sim G(n,1/2)$ has…
