Finite-to-one continuous s-covering mappings

Alexey Ostrovsky (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The following theorem is proved. Let f: X → Y be a finite-to-one map such that the restriction $f | f^{- 1} (S)$ is an inductively perfect map for every countable compact set S ⊂ Y. Then Y is a countable union of closed subsets $Y_{i}$ such that every restriction $f | f^{- 1} (Y_{i})$ is an inductively perfect map.

On the index of an odd perfect number

Feng-Juan Chen, Yong-Gao Chen (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Suppose that N is an odd perfect number and $q^{α}$ is a prime power with $q^{α} | | N$ . Define the index $m = σ (N / q^{α}) / q^{α}$ . We prove that m cannot take the form $p^{2 u}$ , where u is a positive integer and 2u+1 is composite. We also prove that, if q is the Euler prime, then m cannot take any of the 30 forms q₁, q₁², q₁³, q₁⁴, q₁⁵, q₁⁶, q₁⁷, q₁⁸, q₁q₂, q₁²q₂, q₁³q₂, q₁⁴ q₂, q₁⁵q₂, q₁²q₂², q₁³q₂², q₁⁴q₂², q₁q₂q₃, q₁²q₂q₃, q₁³q₂q₃, q₁⁴q₂q₃, q₁²q₂²q₃, q₁²q₂²q₃², q₁q₂q₃q₄, q₁²q₂q₃q₄, q₁³q₂q₃q₄, q₁²q₂²q₃q₄, q₁q₂q₃q₄q₅, q₁²q₂q₃q₄q₅,...

Less than $2^{ω}$ many translates of a compact nullset may cover the real line

Márton Elekes, Juris Steprāns (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We answer a question of Darji and Keleti by proving that there exists a compact set C₀ ⊂ ℝ of measure zero such that for every perfect set P ⊂ ℝ there exists x ∈ ℝ such that (C₀+x) ∩ P is uncountable. Using this C₀ we answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that it is consistent with ZFC (as it follows e.g. from $c o f () < 2^{ω}$ ) that less than $2^{ω}$ many translates of a compact set of measure zero can cover ℝ.

Possibly there is no uniformly completely Ramsey null set of size $2^{ω}$

Andrzej Nowik (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that under the axiom $C P A_{c u b e}$ there is no uniformly completely Ramsey null set of size $2^{ω}$ . In particular, this holds in the iterated perfect set model. This answers a question of U. Darji.

A note on perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs with large minimum collective degree

Vojtěch Rödl, Andrzej Ruciński, Mathias Schacht, Endre Szemerédi (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For an integer $k \geq 2$ and a $k$ -uniform hypergraph $H$ , let $δ_{k - 1} (H)$ be the largest integer $d$ such that every $(k - 1)$ -element set of vertices of $H$ belongs to at least $d$ edges of $H$ . Further, let $t (k, n)$ be the smallest integer $t$ such that every $k$ -uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and with $δ_{k - 1} (H) \geq t$ contains a perfect matching. The parameter $t (k, n)$ has been completely determined for all $k$ and large $n$ divisible by $k$ by Rödl, Ruci’nski, and Szemerédi in [, submitted]. The values of $t (k, n)$ are very close to $n / 2 - k$ . In fact, the function $t (k, n) = n / 2 - k + c_{n, k}$ ,...

Perfect unary forms over real quadratic fields

Dan Yasaki (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $F = ℚ (\sqrt{d})$ be a real quadratic field with ring of integers $𝒪$ . In this paper we analyze the number $h_{d}$ of ${GL}_{1} (𝒪)$ -orbits of homothety classes of perfect unary forms over $F$ as a function of $d$ . We compute $h_{d}$ exactly for square-free $d \leq 200000$ . By relating perfect forms to continued fractions, we give bounds on $h_{d}$ and address some questions raised by Watanabe, Yano, and Hayashi.

Bérenger/Maxwell with Discontinous Absorptions : Existence, Perfection, and No Loss

Laurence Halpern, Jeffrey Rauch (2012-2013)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

We analyse Bérenger’s split algorithm applied to the system version of the two dimensional wave equation with absorptions equal to Heaviside functions of $x_{j}$ , $j = 1, 2$ . The methods form the core of the analysis [11] for three dimensional Maxwell equations with absorptions not necessarily piecewise constant. The split problem is well posed, has no loss of derivatives (for divergence free data in the case of Maxwell), and is perfectly matched.

Some properties of perfect metric spaces

Angelo Bella, Biagio Ricceri (1983)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

In questa Nota, dati uno spazio metrico perfetto $X$ ed un suo sottoinsieme $K$ chiuso e raro, si dimostra l'esistenza di una funzione continua $f:X\to[0,1]$ tale che $int(f^{-1}(t))=\emptyset$ per ogni $t\in[0,1]$ , $f(x)=0$ per ogni $x\in K$ e $f(y)=1$ per qualche $y\in X\setminus K$ . In particolare, ciò permette di dare risposta simultaneamente a due questioni poste in [2]. Si mettono in evidenza, poi, ulteriori conseguenze di tale risultato.

On locally $S$ -closed spaces

$F_{σ}$ -mappings and the invariance of absolute Borel classes

Petr Holický, Jiří Spurný (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is proved that $F_{σ}$ -mappings preserve absolute Borel classes, which improves results of R. W. Hansell, J. E. Jayne and C. A. Rogers. The proof is based on the fact that any $F_{σ}$ -mapping f: X → Y of an absolute Suslin metric space X onto an absolute Suslin metric space Y becomes a piecewise perfect mapping when restricted to a suitable $F_{σ}$ -set $X_{\infty} \subset X$ satisfying $f (X_{\infty}) = Y$ .

Representation functions with different weights

Quan-Hui Yang (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For any given positive integer k, and any set A of nonnegative integers, let $r_{1, k} (A, n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation n = a₁ + ka₂ with a₁,a₂ ∈ A. We prove that if k,l are multiplicatively independent integers, i.e., log k/log l is irrational, then there does not exist any set A ⊆ ℕ such that both $r_{1, k} (A, n) = r_{1, k} (ℕ ∖ A, n)$ and $r_{1, l} (A, n) = r_{1, l} (ℕ ∖ A, n)$ hold for all n ≥ n₀. We also pose a conjecture and two problems for further research.

The mean square of the divisor function

Chaohua Jia, Ayyadurai Sankaranarayanan (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let d(n) be the divisor function. In 1916, S. Ramanujan stated without proof that $\sum_{n \leq x} d ² (n) = x P (l o g x) + E (x)$ , where P(y) is a cubic polynomial in y and $E (x) = O (x^{3 / 5 + ε})$ , with ε being a sufficiently small positive constant. He also stated that, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), $E (x) = O (x^{1 / 2 + ε})$ . In 1922, B. M. Wilson proved the above result unconditionally. The direct application of the RH would produce $E (x) = O (x^{1 / 2} (l o g x) ⁵ l o g l o g x)$ . In 2003, K. Ramachandra and A. Sankaranarayanan proved the above result without any assumption. In this paper, we prove $E (x) = O (x^{1 / 2} (l o g x) ⁵)$ . ...

A note on representation functions with different weights

Zhenhua Qu (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For any positive integer k and any set A of nonnegative integers, let $r_{1, k} (A, n)$ denote the number of solutions (a₁,a₂) of the equation n = a₁ + ka₂ with a₁,a₂ ∈ A. Let k,l ≥ 2 be two distinct integers. We prove that there exists a set A ⊆ ℕ such that both $r_{1, k} (A, n) = r_{1, k} (ℕ ∖ A, n)$ and $r_{1, l} (A, n) = r_{1, l} (ℕ ∖ A, n)$ hold for all n ≥ n₀ if and only if log k/log l = a/b for some odd positive integers a,b, disproving a conjecture of Yang. We also show that for any set A ⊆ ℕ satisfying $r_{1, k} (A, n) = r_{1, k} (ℕ ∖ A, n)$ for all n ≥ n₀, we have $r_{1, k} (A, n) \to \infty$ as n → ∞.

Finiteness of odd perfect powers with four nonzero binary digits

Pietro Corvaja, Umberto Zannier (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We prove that there are only finitely many odd perfect powers in $ℕ$ having precisely four nonzero digits in their binary expansion. The proofs in fact lead to more general results, but we have preferred to limit ourselves to the present statement for the sake of simplicity and clarity of illustration of the methods. These methods combine various ingredients: results (derived from the Subspace Theorem) on integer values of analytic series at $S$ -unit points (in a suitable $ν$ -adic convergence),...
