چکیده

Let p be a prime and let φ ∈ Zp[x1, x2, . . . , xp] be a symmetric polynomial, where Zp is the field of p elements. A sequence T in Zp of length p is called a φ-zero sequence if φ(T ) = 0; a sequence in Zp is called a φ-zero free sequence if it does not contain any φ-zero subsequence. Define g(φ, Zp) to be the smallest integer l such that every sequence in Zp of length l contains a φ-zero sequence; if l does not exist, we set g(φ, Zp) = ∞. Define M(φ, Zp) to be the set of all φ-zero free sequences of length g(φ, Zp)−1, whenever g(φ, Zp) is finite. The aim of this paper is to determine the value of g(φ, Zp) and to describe the set M(φ, Zp) for a quadratic symmetric polynomial φ in Zp[x1, x2, . . . , xp].

Some Problems in View of Recent Developments of the Erdős Ginzburg Ziv Theorem

Two conjectures concerning the Erdős Ginzburg Ziv theorem were recently confirmed. Reiher and di Fiore proved independently the two dimension analogue of the EGZ theorem, as conjectured by Kemnitz, and Grynkiewicz proved the weighed generalization of the EGZ theorem as conjectured by Caro. These developments trigger some further problems. First, we will present computer experiments that at leas...

Non-canonical Extensions of Erdős-ginzburg-ziv Theorem1

In 1961, Erdős-Ginzburg-Ziv proved that for a given natural number n ≥ 1 and a sequence a1, a2, · · · , a2n−1 of integers (not necessarily distinct), there exist 1 ≤ i1 < i2 < · · · < in ≤ 2n− 1 such that ai1 + ai2 + · · ·+ ain is divisible by n. Moreover, the constant 2n− 1 is tight. By now, there are many canonical generalizations of this theorem. In this paper, we shall prove some non-canoni...

Buckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries

The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...
