Covering the plane with sprays

James H. Schmerl (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For any three noncollinear points c₀,c₁,c₂ ∈ ℝ², there are sprays S₀,S₁,S₂ centered at c₀,c₁,c₂ that cover ℝ². This improves the result of de la Vega in which c₀,c₁,c₂ were required to be the vertices of an equilateral triangle.

An update on a few permanent conjectures

Fuzhen Zhang (2016)

Special Matrices

Similarity:

We review and update on a few conjectures concerning matrix permanent that are easily stated, understood, and accessible to general math audience. They are: Soules permanent-on-top conjecture†, Lieb permanent dominance conjecture, Bapat and Sunder conjecture† on Hadamard product and diagonal entries, Chollet conjecture on Hadamard product, Marcus conjecture on permanent of permanents, and several other conjectures. Some of these conjectures are recently settled; some are still open.We...

On the Collatz conjecture

Sebastian Hebda (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We propose two conjectures which imply the Collatz conjecture. We give a numerical evidence for the second conjecture.
