According to Paul Erd\H{o}s [Some notes on Tur\'an's mathematical work, J. Approx. Theory 29 (1980), page 4] it was Paul Tur\'an who "created the area of extremal problems in graph theory". However, without a doubt, Paul Erd\H{o}s…
We discuss various forms of the classical van der Corput's difference theorem and explore applications to and connections with the theory of uniform distribution, ergodic theory, topological dynamics and combinatorics.
In \cite[Proposition 8.21 Page-169]{F} Using the methods of topological dynamics, H. Furstenberg introduced the notion of central set and proved the famous Central Sets Theorem. Later, in \cite{DHS}, D. De, H. Hindman and D. Struss…
Let A be a set of nonnegative integers. For every nonnegative integer n and positive integer h, let r_{A}(n,h) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,..., a_h are elements of A and…
We provide a short proof of a conic version of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem for oriented matroids. Holmsen's extension of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem to oriented matroids (Advances in Mathematics, 2016) already encompasses…
One of the earliest results in enumerative combinatorial geometry is the following theorem of de Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s: Every set of points $E$ in a projective plane determines at least $|E|$ lines, unless all the points are contained in a…
Roth's theorem is extended to finitely generated field extensions of $\Bbb Q$, using Moriwaki's framework for heights.
Keller proposed a combinatorial conjecture on construction of an n-by-infinite matrix, which comes from showing the existence of many orbits of different sizes in certain linear group actions. He proved it for the case n=4, and we show that…
A special case of a combinatorial theorem of De Bruijn and Erdos asserts that every noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. Chen and Chvatal suggested a possible generalization of this assertion in…
The Theorems of Hindman and van der Waerden belong to the classical theorems of partition Ramsey Theory. The Central Sets Theorem is a strong simultaneous extension of both theorems that applies to general commutative semigroups. We give a…
Our main theorem classifies the Auslander-Reiten triangles according to properties of the morphisms involved. As a consequence, we are able to compute the mapping cone of an irreducible morphism. We finish by showing a technique for…
An abstract, Hales-Jewett type extension of the polynomial van der Waerden Theorem [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 9 (1996),725-753] is established: Theorem. Let r,d,q \in \N. There exists N \in \N such that for any r-coloring of the set of subsets of…
Hindman's theorem and van der Waerden's theorem are two classical Ramsey theoretic results, the first one deals with finite configurations and the second one deals with infinite configurations. The Central Sets Theorem due to Furstenberg is…
We present a proof of Roth's theorem that follows a slightly different structure to the usual proofs, in that there is not much iteration. Although our proof works using a type of density increment argument (which is typical of most proofs…
Brouwer's fixed point theorem from 1911 is a basic result in topology - with a wealth of combinatorial and geometric consequences. In these lecture notes we present some of them, related to the game of HEX and to the piercing of multiple…
Pirillo and Varricchio, and independently, Halbeisen and Hungerbuhler considered the following problem, open since 1994: Does there exist an infinite word w over a finite subset of Z such that w contains no two consecutive blocks of the…
Wei's celebrated Duality Theorem is generalized in several ways, expressed as duality theorems for linear codes over division rings and, more generally, duality theorems for matroids. These results are further generalized, resulting in two…
We introduce a geometric method to study additive combinatorial problems. Using equivariant cohomology we reprove the Dias da Silva-Hamidoune theorem. We improve a result of Sun on the linear extension of the Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn conjecture.…
Recently, Bennett et al. introduced the vertex-induced weighted Tur\'an problem. In this paper, we consider their open Tur\'an problem under sum-edge-weight function and characterize the extremal structure of $K_{l}$-free graphs. Based on…
H. Furstenberg introduced the notion of central sets in terms of topological dynamics and established the famous Central Sets Theorem. Later in [A new and stronger Central Sets Theorem, Fund. Math. 199 (2008), 155-175], D. De, N. Hindman,…
