A clutter is \emph{$k$-wise intersecting} if every $k$ members have a common element, yet no element belongs to all members. We conjecture that, for some integer $k\geq 4$, every $k$-wise intersecting clutter is non-ideal. As evidence for…

A $k-$quasiperfect dominating set ($k\ge 1$) of a graph $G$ is a vertex subset $S$ such that every vertex not in $S$ is adjacent to at least one and at most k vertices in $S$. The cardinality of a minimum k-quasiperfect dominating set in…

This article is about Pi Formulas, infinite series of fractions which sum to multiples of Pi. Each such one can be associated with a unique set $S_k$ of rough numbers, where $k$ is a prime number. Given $S_k$ for any prime $k$, the set…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

A k-uniform linear cycle of length s is a cyclic list of k-sets A_1,..., A_s such that consecutive sets intersect in exactly one element and nonconsecutive sets are disjoint. For all k at least 5 and s at least 3 and sufficiently large n we…

For x and y sequences of real numbers define the inner product (x,y) = x(0)y(0) + x(1)y(1)+ ... which may not be finite or even exist. We say that x and y are orthogonal iff (x,y) converges and equals 0. Define l_p to be the set of all real…

A subset $S$ of a vertex set of a graph $G$ is a total $(k,r)$-dominating set if every vertex $u \in V(G)$ is within distance $k$ of at least $r$ vertices in $S$. The minimum cardinality among all total $(k,r)$-dominating sets of $G$ is…

In this paper, a sum rule means a relationship between a functional defined on a subset of all probability measures on $\mathbb{R}$ involving the reverse Kullback-Leibler divergence with respect to a particular distribution and recursion…

Fix an integer $n \geq 1$, and consider the set of all connected finite simple graphs on $n$ vertices. For each $G$ in this set, let $I(G)$ denote the edge ideal of $G$ in the polynomial ring $R = K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We initiate a study of…

A superposition rule is a particular type of map that enables one to express the general solution of certain systems of first-order ordinary differential equations, the so-called Lie systems, out of generic families of particular solutions…

Let $\mathbf{x}$ be a (non-empty) sequence of positive real numbers. Its achievement set $\mathcal{\mathbf{x}}$ is the set of all the possible sums of the elements of $\mathbf{x}$. The cardinal function of $\mathbf{x}$ is the function…

We investigate the dynamics of maps of the real line whose behavior on an invariant interval is close to a rational rotation on the circle. We concentrate on a specific two-parameter family, describing the dynamics arising from models in…

A family ${\mathcal A}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\dots, N\}$ is a Sidon system if the sumsets $A+B$, $A,B\in \mathcal{A}$ are pairwise distinct. We show that the largest cardinality $F_k(N)$ of a Sidon system of $k$-subsets of $[N]$…

A simple graph more often than not contains adjacent vertices with equal degrees. This in particular holds for all pairs of neighbours in regular graphs, while a lot such pairs can be expected e.g. in many random models. Is there a…

A typical problem in optimal design theory is finding an experimental design that is optimal with respect to some criteria in a class of designs. The most popular criteria include the A- and D-criteria. Regular graph designs occur in many…

A g-circulant matrix of order n is defined as a matrix of order n where each row is a right cyclic shift in g-places to the preceding row. Using number theory, certain nonnegative g-circulant real matrices are constructed. In particular, it…

The classical Descartes' rule of signs limits the number of positive roots of a real polynomial in one variable by the number of sign changes in the sequence of its coefficients. One can ask the question which pairs of nonnegative integers…

We investigate the behavior of cardinal characteristics of the reals under extensions that do not add new ${<}\kappa$-sequences (for some regular $\kappa$). As an application, we show that consistently the following cardinal characteristics…

We consider $k$-cop-win graphs in the binomial random graph $G(n,1/2).$ It is known that almost all cop-win graphs contain a universal vertex. We generalize this result and prove that for every $k \in N$, almost all $k$-cop-win graphs…

A $k$-ranking of a graph $G$ is a labeling of its vertices from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that any nontrivial path whose endpoints have the same label contains a larger label. The least $k$ for which $G$ has a $k$-ranking is the ranking number…
