Extracting a subsequence common to infinitely many sets from an uncountable collection with uniform positive upper density
Let $\{a_n\},\{b_n\}$ be strictly increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying $a_1<b_1<a_2<b_2<a_3<b_3<\ldots$ and $(b_n-a_n) \to \infty$. Define $I_n:= [a_n,b_n]$, meaning ...

What is the number of representations of a real number?
Let $f:\omega\to\mathbb N$ be a function such that $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{f(n)}{2^n}<\infty$.
We identify each natural number $n\in\mathbb N$ with the set $\{0,\dots,n-1\}$.
Then the map $$\...
