Choice functions constitute a simple, direct and very general mathematical framework for modelling choice under uncertainty. In particular, they are able to represent the set-valued choices that appear in imprecise-probabilistic decision…

We define the asymptotic behavior "almost everywhere" of additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions in the paper. Classes of additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions are singled out for which the asymptotics coincides "almost…

It is proved that all sufficiently large integers $n$ can be represented as $$n=x_1^2+x_2^3+\cdots+x_{13}^{14},$$ where $x_1,\ldots,x_{13}$ are positive integers. This improves upon the current record with $14$ variables in place of $13$.

We establish formulas for the number of all downsets (or equivalently, of all antichains) of a finite poset P. Then, using these numbers, we determine recursively and explicitly the number of all posets having a fixed set of minimal points…

Let $\psi$ and $F$ be positive definite forms with integral coefficients of equal degree. Using the circle method, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of identical representations of $\psi$ by $F$, provided $\psi$ is…

Motivated by a 2001 problem of S\'ark\"ozy, we classify all situations of the integers $b,c,e$ and $f$ satisfying \begin{align*} \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|d(\mathcal{A},bn+c)-d(\mathcal{A},en+f)|=\infty \end{align*} for any infinite…

Plagne recently determined the asymptotic behavior of the function E(h), which counts the maximum possible number of essential elements in an additive basis for N of order h. Here we extend his investigations by studying asymptotic behavior…

A finite subset $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is basic, if for any function $f \colon M \to \mathbb{R}$ there exists a collection of functions $f_1, \ldots, f_d \colon \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that for each element $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in…

Let $k$ be a field, $A$ a finitely generated associative $k$-algebra and $\operatorname{Rep}_A[n]$ the functor $\operatorname{Fields}_k\to \operatorname{Sets}$, which sends a field $K$ containing $k$ to the set of isomorphism classes of…

It is shown that any continuous function depending on several $p$-adic variables, each of which is defined on $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$, can be represented as a superposition of continuous functions of one $p$-adic variable. This statement is true…

Let $F_p$ be the field of a prime order $p$. Then for any positive integer $n>1$, for any $\epsilon>0$, and for any subset $A$ of $F_p$, every element of $F_p$ can be represented as a sum of $N$ elements, each of them is a product of $n$…

For a set of natural numbers $A$, let $R_{A}(n)$ be the number of representations of a natural number $n$ as the sum of two terms from $A$. Many years ago, Nathanson studied the conditions for the set $A$ and $B$ of natural numbers that are…

Let $F$ be the set of functions from an infinite set, $S$, to an ordered ring, $R$. For $f$, $g$, and $h$ in $F$, the assertion $f = g + O(h)$ means that for some constant $C$, $|f(x) - g(x)| \leq C |h(x)|$ for every $x$ in $S$. Let $L$ be…

If $A$ is a nonempty subset of an additive group $G$, then the $h$-fold sumset is \[ hA = \{x_1 + \cdots + x_h : x_i \in A_i \text{ for } i=1,2,\ldots, h\}. \] The set $A$ is an $(r,\ell)$-approximate group in $G$ if $A$ is a nonempty…

Let $f(t_1,\ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least…

We know extensions of first order logic by quantifiers of the kind "there are uncountable many ...", "most ..." with new axioms and appropriate semantics. Related are operations such as "set of x, such that ...", Hilbert's…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

For all natural numbers a,b and d > 0, we consider the function f_{a,b,d} which associates n/d to any integer n when it is a multiple of d, and an + b otherwise; in particular f_{3,1,2} is the Collatz function. Coding in base a > 1 with b <…

For which sets A does there exist a mapping, computed by a total or partial recursive function, such that the mapping, when its domain is restricted to A, is a 1-to-1, onto mapping to $\Sigma^*$? And for which sets A does there exist such a…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $n$, and for each $a\in G$ and integer $1\le h\le n$ let $\mathcal{F}_a(h)$ denote the family of all $h$-element subsets of $G$ whose sum is $a$. A problem posed by Katona and Makar-Limanov is to…
