A tree with $n$ vertices has at most $95^{n/13}$ minimal dominating sets. The growth constant $\lambda = \sqrt[13]{95} \approx 1.4194908$ is best possible. It is obtained in a semi-automatic way as a kind of "dominant eigenvalue" of a…

Let $k \ge 2$ be an integer. We say a set $A$ of positive integers is an asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be represented as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is called…

Here is a direct problem for Sidon sets: Given a linear form $\varphi = c_1 x_1 + \cdots + c_h x_h $, construct and describe sets $A$ that are Sidon sets for $\varphi$. This paper considers an inverse problem for Sidon sets: Given a set…

For $h \ge 2$ and an infinite set of positive integers $A$, let $R_{A,h}(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots{} + a_{h} = n, a_{1} \in A, \dots{} ,a_{h} \in A, a_{1} < a_{2} < \dots{} < a_{h}.$ In this…

We start by studying the Goldberger-Treiman discrepancy (GTd) $\Delta = (2.259\pm 0.591)%$. Then we look at the $\pi N$ $\sigma$ term, with the dimensionless ratio $\sigma_N/2m_N=3.35%$. Finally we return to predicting (via the quark model)…

For each natural number $d$, we introduce the concept of a $d$-cap in $\mathbb{F}_3^n$. A subset of $\mathbb{F}_3^n$ is called a $d$-cap if, for each $k = 1, 2, \dots, d$, no $k+2$ of the points lie on a $k$-dimensional flat. This…

A Sidon set is a set of the positive integers such that the sums of two pairs is not repeated. I. Ruzsa gave a probabilistic construction of an infinite Sidon set. In this work we present the details of a simplified proof of this…

We obtain a new lower bound on the largest Sidon subset of an arbitrary finite set of integers. If $H(n)$ denotes the minimum, over all $n$-element subsets of $\mathbb Z$, of the largest Sidon subset they contain, we prove that $H(n)…

We calculate the complete $T$-matrices of pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) scattering to the third order in heavy baryon SU(3) chiral perturbation theory. The baryon mass in the chiral limit $M_0$ and the low-energy constants are determined by…

In this article, we provide a short and elementary proof of the following result: For $n \geq 3$ the middle coefficient of $\Phi_n(x)$ is either zero (when $n$ is a power of $2$) or an odd integer.

The delta set of a numerical semigroup $S$, denoted $\Delta(S)$, is a factorization invariant that measures the complexity of the sets of lengths of elements in $S$. We study the following problem: Which finite sets occur as the delta set…

The purpose of this short problem paper is to raise an extremal question on set systems which seems to be natural and appealing. Our question is: which set systems of a given size maximise the number of $(n+1)$-element chains in the power…

Given $h,g \in \mathbb{N}$, we write a set $X \subset \mathbb{Z}$ to be a $B_{h}^{+}[g]$ set if for any $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, the number of solutions to the additive equation $n = x_1 + \dots + x_h$ with $x_1, \dots, x_h \in X$ is at most…

We show that for any finite set $A$ and an arbitrary $\varepsilon>0$ there is $k=k(\varepsilon)$ such that the higher energy ${\mathsf{E}}_k(A)$ is at most $|A|^{k+\varepsilon}$ unless $A$ has a very specific structure. As an application we…

The Noether number of a representation is the largest degree of an element in a minimal homogeneous generating set for the corresponding ring of invariants. We compute the Noether number for an arbitrary representation of a cyclic group of…

We estimate the number of incidences in a configuration of $m$ lines and $n$ points in dimension 3. The main term is $mn^{1/3}$ if we work over the real or complex numbers but $mn^{2/5}$ over finite fields. Both of these are optimal, aside…

Let D denote the (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Let Y be a random 2-dimensional subcomplex of D obtained by starting with the full 1-skeleton of D and then adding each 2-simplex independently with probability p. For a fixed c>0 it is shown that…

In this paper, we propose two families of nonconforming finite elements on $n$-rectangle meshes of any dimension to solve the sixth-order elliptic equations. The unisolvent property and the approximation ability of the new finite element…

Let $\varphi(x_1,\ldots, x_h) = c_1 x_1 + \cdots + c_h x_h $ be a linear form with coefficients in a field $\mathbf{F}$, and let $V$ be a vector space over $\mathbf{F}$. A nonempty subset $A$ of $V$ is a $\varphi$-Sidon set if, for all…

A family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is called 3-wise intersecting if any three members in the family have non-empty intersection. We determine the maximum size of such families exactly or asymptotically. One of our results…
