A skew Bollob\'{a}s system $\mathcal{P}=\{(A_i,B_i):1\leq i\leq m\}$ is a collection of pairs of disjoint subsets of $[n]$ such that $A_i\cap B_j\ne\emptyset$ for any $1\leq i<j\leq m$. Denote by $S_1…
This work investigates which sets of quantum states give rise to the highest achievable success probability in minimum-error state discrimination if multiple copies of the unknown state are given. Spe…
Let $\mathcal{OP}_n$ be the monoid of all orientation-preserving full transformations on $X_n=\{1,\dots, n\}$ with the natural order. For $\alpha \in \mathcal{OP}_n$, let $F(\alpha)=\{y\in X_n: y\alph…
Brualdi and Hoffman proposed a well-known problem of determining the graph with maximum adjacency spectral radius among all graphs with given size $m$. Early work by Friedland and Stanley addressed so…
We study the hierarchical secure aggregation problem with groupwise keys. The problem consists of an aggregation server, $U$ relays, and $UV$ users, where each relay serves $V$ disjoint users, and eac…
For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands…
We study numerical integration on $[0,1]$ by quantum amplitude estimation (QAE), focusing on the cost of constructing the amplitude oracle. Although QAE improves the statistical component of the integ…
For $0\le k\le n$, write $\binom nk=uv$ where the primes dividing $u$ are at most $k$ and the primes dividing $v$ exceed $k$, and let $f(n)$ be the least $k$ with $u>n^2$; Erd\H{o}s problem 684 asks f…
For every nonzero integer $m$ and every integer $n \ge 1$, the $n$\textsuperscript{th} harmonic number $H_n = 1 + \tfrac12 + \dots + \tfrac1n$ satisfies the identity \[ H_n \;=\; \frac{1}{m}\,\sum_{…
For $k$-graphs $F$ and $H_0$ the $F$-bootstrap percolation process (or $F$-process) starting with $H_0$ is a sequence $(H_i)_{i\geq0}$ of $k$-graphs such that $H_{i+1}$ is obtained from $H_i$ by addin…
For a family $\mathcal{H} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$, a subset $\{A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_m\} \subseteq \mathcal{H}$ is called a \textit{matching} of size~$m$ if the sets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_m$ are pairwi…
For a nonnegative integer $r$ and a positive integer $v$ satisfying \[ \frac{r(q-1)}{2}<v<\frac{(r+1)(q-1)}{2}, \] we define the combinatorial numbers \[ A_r(v)= \begin{cases} \display…
Let $\mathcal F\subset 2^{[n]}$ be an $s$-uniform family such that every two distinct sets have a nonempty intersection but intersect in at most $k$ elements. By the well-known Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson t…
The expected meeting time of two random walkers on an undirected graph of size $N$, where at each time step one walker moves and the process stops when they collide, satisfies a system of $\binom{N}{2…
Erd\H{o}s asked whether every $n$-point set in Euclidean space whose $\binom{n}{2}$ pairwise distances are mutually at least $1$ apart must have diameter at least $(1+o(1))n^2$. We disprove this state…
In this paper, we evaluate some series via the WZ method, and confirm several previous conjectures. For example, we prove the following two identities conjectured by the second author: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\…
Let $\gamma$ be a constant such that $0 < \gamma < 1$, and let $n$ be a sufficiently large integer. Consider a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices. In 2013, K\"{u}hn, Osthus, and Treglown, alon…
We present a formal verification of Wolstenholme's theorem -- $\binom{2p}{p} \equiv 2 \pmod{p^3}$ for prime $p \geq 5$ -- in Lean~4 with Mathlib. The proof proceeds by expanding the shifted factorial …
Let $P_k$ denote the path with $k$ vertices, and $\mathrm{ex}_{\mathcal{OP}}(n,H^{\mathrm{ind}},\emptyset)$ be the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex outerplanar graph. In this p…
Let $n, r, s$ be three positive integers such that $n\geq 2s+5$. Let $K_r$ denote the complete graph of order $r$. Given a graph $F$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n,F)$ is defined as the minimum number …
