Let K be a closed, bounded, symmetric convex domain with centre at the origin O and gauge function F(x). By a homothetic translate of K with centre a and radius r we mean the set {x: F(x−a) ≤ r}. A family ℳ of homothetic translates of K is called a saturated family or a saturated system if (i) the infimum r of the radii of sets in ℳ is positive and (ii) every homothetic translate of K of radius r intersects some member of ℳ. For a saturated family ℳ of homothetic translates of K, let S denote the point-set union of the interiors of members of ℳ and S(l), the set S ∪ {x: F(x) ≤ l}. The lower density ρℳ(K) of the saturated system ℳ is defined bywhere V(S(l)) denotes the Lebesgue measure of the set S(l). The problem is to find the greatest lower bound ρK of ρℳ(K) over all saturated systems ℳ of homothetic translates of K. In case K is a circle, Fejes Tóth(9) conjectured thatwhere ϑ(K) denotes the density of the thinnest coverings of the plane by translates of K. In part I, we state results already known in this direction. In part II, we prove that ρK = (¼) ϑ(K) when K is strictly convex and in part III, we prove that ρK = (¼) ϑ(K) for all symmetric convex domains.

AbstractWe generalise the mass transference principle established by Beresnevich and Velani to limsup sets generated by rectangles. More precisely, let {xn}n⩾1 be a sequence of points in the unit cube [0, 1]d with d ⩾ 1 and {rn}n⩾1 a sequence of positive numbers tending to zero. Under the assumption of full Lebesgue measure theoretical statement of the set \begin{equation*}\big\{x\in [0,1]^d: x\in B(x_n,r_n), \ {{\rm for}\, {\rm infinitely}\, {\rm many}}\ n\in \mathbb{N}\big\},\end{equation*} we determine the lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure of the set \begin{equation*}\big\{x\in [0,1]^d: x\in B^{a}(x_n,r_n), \ {{\rm for}\, {\rm infinitely}\, {\rm many}}\ n\in \mathbb{N}\big\},\end{equation*} where a = (a1, . . ., ad) with 1 ⩽ a1 ⩽ a2 ⩽ . . . ⩽ ad and Ba(x, r) denotes a rectangle with center x and side-length (ra1, ra2,. . .,rad). When a1 = a2 = . . . = ad, the result is included in the setting considered by Beresnevich and Velani.

A family ℳ of closed circular discs in the plane is called a saturated family or a saturated system of circles if (i) the infimum r of the radii of the discs in ℳ is positive and (ii) every closed disc of radius r in the plane intersects at least one disc in ℳ. For a saturated family ℳ, we denote by S the point-set union of the interiors of the members of ℳ and by S(l) the part of S inside the circular disc of radius l centred at the origin. We define the lower density ρℳ of the saturated family ℳ aswhere V(S(l)) denotes the Lebesgue measure of the set S(l).

Let σ be a finite positive singular Borel measure defined on Euclidean space RN. For w ∈ RN and y > 0, its Poisson integral is defined by the formulawhere CN is chosen so thatSince σ is singular, almost everywhere with respect to Lebesgue measure on RN. On the other hand, almost everywhere dσ. It follows that for all sufficiently small y,is a non-empty open subset of RN. If σ has compact support then |Ey| → 0 as y → 0, where |Ey| denotes the Lebesgue measure of Ey. In this paper we give a lower bound on the rate at which |Ey| may go to zero. The lower bound depends on the smoothness of the measure; the smoother the measure, the more slowly |Ey| may approach 0.

AbstractA central problem motivated by Diophantine approximation is to determine the size properties of subsets of$\R^d$ ($d\in\N$)of the formwhere ‖⋅‖ denotes an arbitrary norm,Ia denumerable set, (xi,ri)i∈ Ia family of elements of$\R^d\$× (0, ∞) and ϕ a nonnegative nondecreasing function defined on [0, ∞). We show that ifFId, where Id denotes the identity function, has full Lebesgue measure in a given nonempty open subsetVof$\R^d\$, the setFϕbelongs to a class Gh(V) of sets with large intersection inVwith respect to a given gauge functionh. We establish that this class is closed under countable intersections and that each of its members has infinite Hausdorffg-measure for every gauge functiongwhich increases faster thanhnear zero. In particular, this yields a sufficient condition on a gauge functiongsuch that a given countable intersection of sets of the formFϕhas infinite Hausdorffg-measure. In addition, we supply several applications of our results to Diophantine approximation. For any nonincreasing sequenceψof positive real numbers converging to zero, we investigate the size and large intersection properties of the sets of all points that areψ-approximable by rationals, by rationals with restricted numerator and denominator and by real algebraic numbers. This enables us to refine the analogs of Jarník's theorem for these sets. We also study the approximation of zero by values of integer polynomials and deduce several new results concerning Mahler's and Koksma's classifications of real transcendental numbers.

Letbe n linear forms with real coefficients and determinant Δ = ∥ aij∥ ≠ 0; and denote by M(X) the lower bound of | X1X2 … Xn| over all integer sets (u) ≠ (0). It is well known that γn, the upper bound of M(X)/|Δ| over all sets of forms Xi, is finite, and the value of γn has been determined when n = 2 and n = 3.

Let D be a domain in Euclidean space of d dimensions and K a compact subset of D. The well known Harnack inequality assures the existence of a positive constant A depending only on D and K such that (l/A)u(x)<u(y)<Au(x) for all x and y in K and all positive harmonic functions u on D. In this we obtain a global integral version of this inequality under geometrical conditions on the domain. The result is the following: suppose D is a Lipschitz domain satisfying the uniform exterior sphere condition—stated in Section 2. If u is harmonic in D with continuous boundary data f thenwhere ds is the d — 1 dimensional Hausdorff measure on the boundary ժD. A large class of domains satisfy this condition. Examples are C2-domains, convex domains, etc.

In (3) Tutte showed that the order of a regular graph of degree d and even girth g > 4 is greater than or equal toHere the girth of a graph is the length of the shortest circuit. It was shown in (2) that this lower bound cannot be attained for regular graphs of degree > 2 for g ≠ 6, 8, or 12. When this lower bound is attained, the graph is called minimal. In a group-theoretic setting a similar situation arose and it was noticed by Gleason that minimal regular graphs of girth 12 could be constructed from certain groups. Here we construct these graphs making only incidental use of group theory. Also we give what is believed to be an easier construction of minimal regular graphs of girth 8 than is given in (2). These results are contained in the following two theorems.

We show that for every sufficiently largen, the number of monotone subsequences of length four in a permutation onnpoints is at least\begin{equation*} \binom{\lfloor{n/3}\rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor{(n+1)/3}\rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor{(n+2)/3}\rfloor}{4}. \end{equation*}Furthermore, we characterize all permutations on [n] that attain this lower bound. The proof uses the flag algebra framework together with some additional stability arguments. This problem is equivalent to some specific type of edge colourings of complete graphs with two colours, where the number of monochromaticK4is minimized. We show that all the extremal colourings must contain monochromaticK4only in one of the two colours. This translates back to permutations, where all the monotone subsequences of length four are all either increasing, or decreasing only.

We give the lower bound for the modulus of the radial derivatives and Jacobian of harmonic injective mappings from the unit ball onto convex domain in plane and space. As an application we show co-Lipschitz property of some classes of qch mappings. We also review related results in planar case using some novelty.

In this paper we shall prove that every finite lattice is isomorphic to a sublattice of the degrees of unsolvability, and that every one of a certain class of finite lattices is isomorphic to an initial segment of degrees.Acknowledgment. I am grateful to Ralph McKenzie for his assistance in matters of lattice theory.1. Representation of lattices. The equivalence lattice of the set S consists of all equivalence relations on S, ordered by setting θ ≦ θ’ if for all a and b in S, a θ b ⇒ a θ’ b. The least upper bound and greatest lower bound in are given by the ⋃ and ⋂ operations:
