Abstract When $k\geqslant 4$ and $0\leqslant d\leqslant (k-2)/4$ , we consider the system of Diophantine equations \begin{align*}x_1^j+\ldots +x_k^j=y_1^j+\ldots +y_k^j\quad (1\leqslant j\leqslant k,\, j\ne k-d).\end{align*} We show that in this cousin a Vinogradov system, there is paucity non-diagonal positive integral solutions. Our quantitative estimates are particularly sharp when $d=o\!\le...

The familiar Intermediate Value Theorem of elementary calculus says that if a real valued function f is continuous on the interval [a, b] ⊆ R then it takes each value between f(a) and f(b). As our next result shows, the critical fact is that the domain of f , the interval [a, b], is a connected space, for the theorem generalizes to real-valued functions on any connected space. The Intermediate ...

Let s ? 3 $s \geqslant 3$ be a natural number, let ? ( x ) $\psi (x)$ polynomial with real coefficients and degree d 2 $d 2$ , A $A$ some large, non-empty, finite subset of numbers. We use E $E_{s,2}(A)$ to denote the number solutions system equations ? i = 1 ? + 0 \begin{equation*}\hskip2.5pc \sum _{i=1}^{s} (\psi (x_i) - \psi (x_{i+s}) )= (x_i x_{i+s} 0, \end{equation*} where ? $x_i \in A$ fo...

in this paper, after reviewing some results in minimal space, some new results in this setting are given. we prove a generalized form of the fan-kkm typetheorem in minimal vector spaces. as some applications, the open type of matching theorem and generalized form of the classical kkm theorem in minimal vector spaces are given.
