Canonical vertex partitions

Sauer, Norbert

Let $\sigma$ be a finite relational signature and $\mathcal T$ a set of finite complete relational structures of signature $\sigma$ and $\Ha_{\mathcal T}$ the countable homogeneous relational structure of signature $\sigma$ which does not embed any of the structures in $\mathcal T$. In the case that $\sigma$ consists of at most binary relations and $\mathcal T$ is finite the vertex partition behaviour of $\Ht$ is completely analysed; in the sense that it is shown that a canonical partition exists and the size of this partition in terms of the structures in $\mathcal{T}$ is determined. If $\mathcal{T}$ is infinite some results are obtained but a complete analysis is still missing. Some general results are presented which are intended to be used in further investigations in case that $\sigma$ contains relational symbols of arity larger than two or that the set of bounds $\mathcal{T}$ is infinite.

On Class Group Computations Using the Number Field Sieve

Bauer, Mark and Hamdy, Safuat

The best practical algorithm for class group computations in imaginary quadratic number fields (such as group structure, class number, discrete logarithm computations) is a variant of the quadratic sieve factoring algorithm. Paradoxical as it sounds, the principles of the number field sieve, in a strict sense, could not be applied to number field computations, yet. In this article we give an indication of the obstructions. In particular, we first present fundamental core elements of a number field sieve for number field computations of which it is absolutely unknown how to design them in a useful way. Finally, we show that the existence of a number field sieve for number field computations with a running time asymptotics similar to that of the genuine number field sieve likely implies the existence of an algorithm for elliptic curve related computational problems with subexponential running time.

On the relative lengths of sides of convex polygons

Langi, Zsolt

Let $C$ be a convex body. By the relative distance of points $p$ and $q$ we mean the ratio of the Euclidean distance of $p$ and $q$ to the half of the Euclidean length of a longest chord of $C$ parallel to $pq$. The aim of the paper is to find upper bounds for the minimum of the relative lengths of the sides of convex hexagons and heptagons.

Relative distance and a convex body touched by its homothetical copies

Langi, Zsolt

The relative distance of points $p$ and $q$ of a convex body $C$ is the ratio of the length of the segment $pq$ to the half of the length of a longest chord of $C$ parallel to $pq$. In this paper we find a connection between pairwise relative distances of $k$ points in the boundary of a convex body and the ratio of $k$ homothetical copies of the body touching it.

 

Relative distance and packing a body by homothetical copies

Langi, Zsolt and Lassak, Marek

This paper discusses packings of a planar convex body $C$ by smaller positive homothets of $C$. In particular, bounds on the maximum homothety ratio $r$ for which $k$ homothets of $C$ of ratio $r$ can pack $C$, where the maximum is taken over all possible $C$, are given for various small values of $k$. The paper surveys previously known results, finds some new ones, gives examples, and presents various interesting conjectures. The case of centrally symmetric $C$ is also considered. The basic approach to the problem is via the notion of relative distance of points in $C$---this is distance as measured in the norm with unit ball ${1\over2}(C-C)$

Representation of solutions of Pell equations using Lucas sequences

Jones, James P.

We consider classes of Pell equations of the form x^2 - dy^2 = c, where d = a^2 - 4, d = a^2 + 4, d = a^2 - 1, or d = a^2 + 1 and c = +4, -4, +1 or -1. We show that all the solutions are expressible in terms of Lucas sequences and we give the Lucas sequences explicitly.
