The Friendship Theorem states that if any two people in a party have exactly one common friend, then there exists a politician who is a friend of everybody. In this paper, we generalize the Friendship Theorem. Let $\lambda$ be any nonnegative integer and $\mu$ be any positive integer. Suppose each pair of friends have exactly $\lambda$ common friends and each pair of strangers have exactly $\mu$ common friends in a party. The corresponding graph is a generalization of strongly regular graphs obtained by relaxing the regularity property on vertex degrees. We prove that either everyone has exactly the same number of friends or there exists a politician who is a friend of everybody. As an immediate consequence, this implies a recent conjecture by Limaye et. al.

AbstractErdős and Odlyzko proved that odd integers k such that k2n+1 is prime for some positive integer n have a positive lower density. In this paper, we characterize all arithmetic progressions in which natural numbers that can be expressed in the form (p−1)2−n (where p is a prime number) have a positive proportion. We also prove that an arithmetic progression consisting of odd numbers can be obtained from a covering system if and only if those integers in such a progression which can be expressed in the form (p−1)2−n have an asymptotic density of zero.

For every positive integer [Formula: see text], it is shown that there exists a positive definite diagonal quaternary integral quadratic form that represents all positive integers except for precisely those which lie in [Formula: see text] arithmetic progressions. For [Formula: see text], all forms with this property are determined.

Computational Results

In this paper we are interested in two problems stated in the book of Erdős and Graham. The first problem was stated by Erdős and Straus in the following way: Let n ∈ ℕ+ be fixed. Does there exist a positive integer k such that [Formula: see text] The second problem is similar and was formulated by Erdős and Graham. It can be stated as follows: Can one show that for every nonnegative integer n there is an integer k such that [Formula: see text] The aim of this paper is to give some computational results related to these problems. In particular we show that the first problem has positive answer for each n ≤ 20. Similarly, we show the existence of desired n in the second problem for all n ≤ 9. We also note some interesting connections between these two problems.

A generalisation of the van der Waerden numbers w(k, r) is considered. For a function f: Z+ → R+ define w(f, k, r) to be the least positive integer (if it exists) such that for every r-coloring of [1, w(f, k, r)] there is a monochromatic arithmetic progression {a + id: 0 ≤ i ≤ k −1} such that d ≥ f(a). Upper and lower bounds are given for w(f, 3, 2). For k > 3 or r > 2, particular functions f are given such that w(f, k, r) does not exist. More results are obtained for the case in which f is a constant function.

For a positive integer d and a non-negative integer a, let Sd,a be the set of all integers of the form dn + a for any non-negative integer n. A (positive definite integral) quadratic form f is said to be Sd,a-universal if it represents all integers in the set Sd, a, and is said to be Sd,a-regular if it represents all integers in the non-empty set Sd,a ∩ Q((f)), where Q(gen(f)) is the set of all integers that are represented by the genus of f. In this paper, we prove that there is a polynomial U(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y] (R(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y]) such that the discriminant df for any Sd,a-universal (Sd,a-regular) ternary quadratic forms is bounded by U(d,a) (respectively, R(d,a)).

Let r ≥ 2. A positive integer n is called r-free if n is not divisible by the r th power of a prime. Generalizing an earlier work of Orr, we provide an upper bound of Bombieri–Vinogradov type for the r-free numbers in arithmetic progressions.

Let q ≥ 2 be a positive integer and let ( a j ) , ( b j ) and ( c j ) (with j nonnegative integer) be three given C -valued and q-periodic sequences. Let A ( q ) : = A q − 1 ⋯ A 0 , where A j is defined below. Assume that the eigenvalues x , y , z of the “monodromy matrix” A ( q ) verify the condition ( x − y ) ( y − z ) ( z − x ) ≠ 0 . We prove that the linear recurrence in C x n + 3 = a n x n + 2 + b n x n + 1 + c n x n , n ∈ Z + is Hyers–Ulam stable if and only if ( | x | − 1 ) ( | y | − 1 ) ( | z | − 1 ) ≠ 0 , i.e., the spectrum of A ( q ) does not intersect the unit circle Γ : = { w ∈ C : | w | = 1 } .

AbstractLet k ≥ 2 and q = g(k) — G(k), where g(k) is the smallest possible value of r such that every natural number is the sum of at most r k-th powers and G(k) is the minimal value of r such that every sufficiently large integer is the sum of r k-th powers. For each positive integer r ≥ q, let Then for every ε > 0 and N ≥ N(r, ε), we construct a set A of k-th powers such that |A| ≤ (r(2 + ε)r + l)N1/(k+r) and every nonnegative integer n ≤ N is the sum of k-th powers in A. Some related results are also obtained.
