Let $u_k$ be a solution of the Helmholtz equation with the wave number $k$, $\Delta u_k+k^2 u_k=0$, on a small ball in either $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\mathbb{S}^n$, or $\mathbb{H}^n$. For a fixed point $p$, we define $M_{u_k}(r)=\max_{d(x,p)\le…

Denote by $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ the minimum integer $N$ such that any three-colouring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of a graph $G_i$ coloured with colour $i$ for some $i\in{1,2,3}$. In a…

The chromatic threshold $\delta_\chi(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the infimum of $d>0$ such that the chromatic number of every $n$-vertex $H$-free graph with minimum degree at least $d n$ is bounded by a constant depending only on $H$ and $d$.…

In this paper, we explore algebraic approaches to $d$-improper and $t$-clustered colourings, where the colouring constraints are relaxed to allow some monochromatic edges. Bilu [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B, 96(4):608-613, 2006] proved a…

We show that for every sufficiently large $n$, the number of monotone subsequences of length four in a permutation on $n$ points is at least $\binom{\lfloor n/3 \rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor(n+1)/3\rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor…

For integers $k\ge1$ and $m\ge2$, let $g(k,m)$ be the least integer $n\ge1$ such that every graph with chromatic number at least $n$ contains a $(k+1)$-connected subgraph with chromatic number at least $m$. Refining the recent result…

The (weak) chromatic number of a hypergraph $H$, denoted by $\chi(H)$, is the smallest number of colors required to color the vertices of $H$ so that no hyperedge of $H$ is monochromatic. For every $2\le k\le d+1$, denote by $\chi_L(k,d)$…

For every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $k\geq2$, it is known that every $k$-edge-colouring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic connected component of order at least $\frac{n}{k-1}$. For $k\geq3$, it is known that the…

We develop novel techniques which allow us to prove a diverse range of results relating to subset sums and complete sequences of positive integers, including solutions to several longstanding open problems. These include: solutions to the…

We solve four similar problems: For every fixed $s$ and large $n$, we describe all values of $n_1,\ldots,n_s$ such that for every $2$-edge-coloring of the complete $s$-partite graph $K_{n_1,\ldots,n_s}$ there exists a monochromatic (i)…

We show that for any two linear homogenous equations $\mathcal{E}_0,\mathcal{E}_1$, each with at least three variables and coefficients not all the same sign, any 2-coloring of $\mathbb{Z}^+$ admits monochromatic solutions of color 0 to…

We construct for every integer $k\geq 3$ and every real $\mu\in(0, \frac{k-1}{k})$ a set of integers $X=X(k, \mu)$ which, when coloured with finitely many colours, contains a monochromatic $k$-term arithmetic progression, whilst every…

A coloured version of classic extremal problems dates back to Erd\H{o}s and Rothschild, who in 1974 asked which $n$-vertex graph has the maximum number of 2-edge-colourings without monochromatic triangles. They conjectured that the answer…

We consider $m$-colorings of the edges of a complete graph, where each color class is defined semi-algebraically with bounded complexity. The case $m = 2$ was first studied by Alon et al., who applied this framework to obtain surprisingly…

In this work we show that, for any fixed d, random d-regular graphs asymptotically almost surely can be coloured with k colours, where k is the smallest integer satisfying d<2(k-1)log(k-1). From previous lower bounds due to Molloy and Reed,…

The Ramsey number $R(G_1,\dots,G_k)$ is the smallest $n$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of $K_n$ contains a monochromatic copy of $G_i$ in color $i$. Ramsey numbers are challenging to compute, and few are known exactly. We use…

This article provides new lower bounds for both Schur and weak Schur numbers by exploiting a "template"-based approach. The concept of "template" is also generalized to weak Schur numbers. Finding new templates leads to explicit partitions…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ green and $n - k$ red points in $\mathbb{C}^2$. A line determined by $i$ green and $j$ red points such that $i + j \ge 2$ and $|i - j| \le r$ is called \emph{r-equichromatic}. We establish lower bounds for…

A $\delta$-colouring of the point set of a block design is said to be {\em weak} if no block is monochromatic. The {\em chromatic number} $\chi(S)$ of a block design $S$ is the smallest integer $\delta$ such that $S$ has a weak…

We study regularity of minimizing $p$-harmonic maps $u \colon B^3 \to \mathbb{S}^3$ for $p$ in the interval $[2,3]$. For a long time, regularity was known only for $p = 3$ (essentially due to Morrey) and $p = 2$ (Schoen-Uhlenbeck), but…
