  • LINEAR ALGEBRA METHODS in COMBINATORICS László Babai
    LINEAR ALGEBRA METHODS IN COMBINATORICS L´aszl´oBabai and P´eterFrankl Version 2.1∗ March 2020 ||||| ∗ Slight update of Version 2, 1992. ||||||||||||||||||||||| 1 c L´aszl´oBabai and P´eterFrankl. 1988, 1992, 2020. Preface Due perhaps to a recognition of the wide applicability of their elementary concepts and techniques, both combinatorics and linear algebra have gained increased representation in college mathematics curricula in recent decades. The combinatorial nature of the determinant expansion (and the related difficulty in teaching it) may hint at the plausibility of some link between the two areas. A more profound connection, the use of determinants in combinatorial enumeration goes back at least to the work of Kirchhoff in the middle of the 19th century on counting spanning trees in an electrical network. It is much less known, however, that quite apart from the theory of determinants, the elements of the theory of linear spaces has found striking applications to the theory of families of finite sets. With a mere knowledge of the concept of linear independence, unexpected connections can be made between algebra and combinatorics, thus greatly enhancing the impact of each subject on the student's perception of beauty and sense of coherence in mathematics. If these adjectives seem inflated, the reader is kindly invited to open the first chapter of the book, read the first page to the point where the first result is stated (\No more than 32 clubs can be formed in Oddtown"), and try to prove it before reading on. (The effect would, of course, be magnified if the title of this volume did not give away where to look for clues.) What we have said so far may suggest that the best place to present this material is a mathematics enhancement program for motivated high school students.

  • Breakthrough in My Favorite Open Problem of Mathematics: Chromatic Number of the Plane Alexander Soifer
    Breakthrough in My Favorite Open Problem of Mathematics: Chromatic Number of the Plane Alexander Soifer [I] can’t offer money for nice problems of other people because then I will really go broke… It is a very nice problem. If it were mine, I would offer $250 for it. – Paul Erdős Boca Raton, February 1992 1. Chromatic Number of the Plane: The Problem On behalf of all enthusiasts of this problem, let me express gratitude to my friend, the late Edward Nelson, who created this problem at a tender age of 18 in November 1950: What is the smallest number of colors sufficient for coloring the plane in such a way that no two points of the same color are unit distance apart? This number is called the chromatic number of the plane and is denoted by . In 1961, the Swiss geometer Hugo Hadwiger admitted that he was not the author of the problem, even though the name “Harwiger-Nelson” got stuck to the problem, just as Cardano did not author the Cardano Formula, and Pythagoras Theorem was known a millennium before the great Greek was born. Such is life with credits in mathematics. Right at problem’s birth, Eddie Nelson determined the lower bound of 4, and his 20-year old friend John Isbell, 20 figured out the upper bound of 7: = 4, or 5, or 6, or 7 A very broad spread. Which one is the value of ? Paul Erd"os thought 5. On May 28, 2009, during the DIMACS Ramsey Theory International Workshop that I organized on request of DIMACS Director Fred Roberts, I asked the distinguished audience to determine the chromatic number of the plane by democratic means of a vote.

  • Some Remarks on Even-Hole-Free Graphs
    Some remarks on even-hole-free graphs Zi-Xia Song∗ Department of Mathematics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA Abstract A vertex of a graph is bisimplicial if the set of its neighbors is the union of two cliques; a graph is quasi-line if every vertex is bisimplicial. A recent result of Chudnovsky and Seymour asserts that every non-empty even-hole-free graph has a bisimplicial vertex. Both Hadwiger’s conjecture and the Erd˝os-Lov´asz Tihany conjecture have been shown to be true for quasi-line graphs, but are open for even-hole-free graphs. In this note, we prove that for all k ≥ 7, every even-hole-free graph with no Kk minor is (2k − 5)-colorable; every even-hole-free graph G with ω(G) < χ(G) = s + t − 1 satisfies the Erd˝os-Lov´asz Tihany conjecture provided that t ≥ s>χ(G)/3. Furthermore, we prove that every 9-chromatic graph G with ω(G) ≤ 8 has a K4 ∪ K6 minor. Our proofs rely heavily on the structural result of Chudnovsky and Seymour on even-hole-free graphs. 1 Introduction All graphs in this paper are finite and simple. For a graph G, we use V (G) to denote the vertex set, E(G) the edge set, |G| the number of vertices, e(G) the number of edges, δ(G) the minimum degree, ∆(G) the maximum degree, α(G) the independence number, ω(G) the clique number and χ(G) the chromatic number. A graph H is a minor of a graph G if H can be obtained from a subgraph of G by contracting edges.

It soon became obvious that at least 4 colours are needed, which can be easily seen thanks to a graph with 7 vertices, the so called Moser spindle, found by William and Leo Moser. There is also a relatively simple colouring by John R. Isbell, which shows that the chromatic number is at most 7. And despite the simplicity of the bounds, these remained the strongest ones until 2018, when biologist Aubrey de Grey found a subgraph which was not colourable with 4 colours. This meant that the chromatic number of the plane is at least 5.
