The (-\beta)-integers are natural generalisations of the \beta-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. They can be described by infinite words which are fixed points of anti-morphisms. We show that they are not…
The $(-\beta)$-integers are natural generalisations of the $\beta$-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. When $\beta$ is the analogue of a Parry number, we describe the structure of the set of $(-\beta)$-integers by a…
Let A be a subset of an abelian group G. We say that A is sum-free if there do not exist x,y and z in A satisfying x + y = z. We determine, for any G, the cardinality of the largest sum-free subset of G. This equals c(G)|G| where c(G) is a…
We introduce the notion of \textit{star cluster} of a simplex in a simplicial complex. This concept provides a general tool to study the topology of independence complexes of graphs. We use star clusters to answer a question arisen from…
In this paper we prove undecidability of finite systems of equations in free Lie algebras of rank at least three over an arbitrary field. We show that the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ is interpretable by positive existential formulas in…
We prove some new statements on the distribution of $\mathcal{B}$-free numbers in short intervals. In particular, we show an asymptotic result for the variance of the number of $\mathcal{B}$-free integers in random short intervals which…
A generalization of numeration system in which the set N of the natural numbers is recognizable by finite automata can be obtained by describing a lexicographically ordered infinite regular language. Here we show that if P belonging to Q[x]…
Number systems with a rational number $a/b > 1$ as base have gained interest in recent years. In particular, relations to Mahler's 3/2-problem as well as the Josephus problem have been established. In the present paper we show that the…
A challenging problem is to find an algorithm to decide whether a morphism is k-power-free. We provide such an algorithm when k >= 3 for uniform morphisms showing that in such a case, contrarily to the general case, there exist finite…
This extends a theorem of Davenport and Erd\"os on sequences of rational integers to sequences of integral ideals in arbitrary number fields $K$. More precisely, we introduce a logarithmic density for sets of integral ideals in $K$ and…
We study the zero sets of the independence polynomial on recursive sequences of graphs. We prove that for a maximally independent starting graph and a stable and expanding recursion algorithm, the zeros of the independence polynomial are…
We address the following decision problem. Given a numeration system $U$ and a $U$-recognizable set $X\subseteq\mathbb{N}$, i.e. the set of its greedy $U$-representations is recognized by a finite automaton, decide whether or not $X$ is…
We consider the number of independent sets in hypergraphs, which allows us to define the independence density of countable hypergraphs. Hypergraph independence densities include a broad family of densities over graphs and relational…
A recently proposed axiom system for Andr\'e's central translation structures is improved upon. First, one of its axioms turns out to be dependent (derivable from the other axioms). Without this axiom, the axiom system is indeed…
Just as Lascar's notion of abstract rank axiomatizes the U-rank, we propose axioms for the ranks $SU^d$ and $SU^f$, the foundation ranks of dividing and forking. We study the relationships between these axioms. As with superstable, we…
The (n,k)-star graph is a very important computer modelling. The independent number and chromatic number of a graph are two important parameters in graph theory. However, we did not know the values of this two parameters of the (n,k)-star…
The properties of several types of Q-stars are studied and compared with their flat space analogues, i.e. Q-balls. The analysis is based on calculating the mass, global U(1) charge and binding energy for families of solutions parametrized…
We show that there are sets of integers with asymptotic density arbitrarily close to 1 in which there is no solution to the equation ab=c, with a,b,c in the set. We also consider some natural generalizations, as well as a specific numerical…
We study sets of the form $A = \big\{ n \in \mathbb N \big| \lVert p(n) \rVert_{\mathbb R / \mathbb Z} \leq \varepsilon(n) \big\}$ for various real valued polynomials $p$ and decay rates $\varepsilon$. In particular, we ask when such sets…
A well-known result, due to Meyer, states that the set P of Pisot numbers, generating a real algebraic number field K, is uniformly discrete and relatively dense in the set of positive real number. In the present paper, we show that P is…
