A generalization of Schönemann's theorem via a graph theoretic method

چکیده
Recently, Grynkiewicz et al. [Israel J. Math. 193 (2013), 359–398], using tools from additive combinatorics and group theory, proved necessary and sufficient conditions under which the linear congruence a1x1+ · · ·+akxk ≡ b (mod n), where a1, . . . , ak, b, n (n ≥ 1) are arbitrary integers, has a solution 〈x1, . . . , xk〉 ∈ Z k n with all xi distinct modulo n. So, it would be an interesting problem to give an explicit formula for the number of such solutions. Quite surprisingly, this problem was first considered, in a special case, by Schönemann almost two centuries ago(!) but his result seems to have been forgotten. Schönemann [J. Reine Angew. Math. 1839 (1839), 231–243] proved an explicit formula for the number of such solutions when b = 0, n = p a prime, and ∑k i=1 ai ≡ 0 (mod p) but ∑ i∈I ai 6≡ 0 (mod p) for all I {1, . . . , k}. In this paper, we generalize Schönemann’s theorem using a result on the number of solutions of linear congruences due to D. N. Lehmer and also a result on graph enumeration recently obtained by Ardila et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2015 (2015), 3830–3877]. This seems to be a rather uncommon method in the area; besides, our proof technique or its modifications may be useful for dealing with other cases of this problem (or even the general case) or other relevant problems.

متن کاملNew Generalization of Darbo's Fixed Point Theorem via $alpha$-admissible Simulation Functions with Application
In this paper, at first, we introduce $alpha_{mu}$-admissible, $Z_mu$-contraction and $N_{mu}$-contraction via simulation functions. We prove some new fixed point theorems for defined class of contractions via $alpha$-admissible simulation mappings, as well. Our results can be viewed as extension of the corresponding results in this area. Moreover, some examples and an application to funct...
متن کاملA cone theoretic Krein-Milman theorem in semitopological cones
In this paper, a Krein-Milman type theorem in $T_0$ semitopological cone is proved, in general. In fact, it is shown that in any locally convex $T_0$ semitopological cone, every convex compact saturated subset is the compact saturated convex hull of its extreme points, which improves the results of Larrecq.
متن کاملOn the Subsequence Theorem of Erdős and Szekeres
In the early 1950s, Kruskal generalized the well-known subsequence theorem of Erdős and Szekeres to finite sequences over all domains satisfying his requirement of ‘relation spaces’. We give a Ramsey-theoretic perspective on the subsequence theorem and generalize it to sequences over all domains with a finite number of binary relations, without constraints. We show that Kruskal’s generalization...
متن کاملFixed points for Chatterjea contractions on a metric space with a graph
In this work, we formulate Chatterjea contractions using graphs in metric spaces endowed with a graph and investigate the existence of fixed points for such mappings under two different hypotheses. We also discuss the uniqueness of the fixed point. The given result is a generalization of Chatterjea's fixed point theorem from metric spaces to metric spaces endowed with a graph.
