A family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of is called s-saturated if it contains no s pairwise disjoint sets, and moreover, no set can be added to $\mathcal F$ while preserving this property. More than 40 years ago, Erdős and Kleitman conjectured that an s-saturated family of subsets of has size at least $(1 – 2^{-(s-1)})2^n$. …
Main purpose of this talk is to introduce a connection between restriction estimates for cones and point-sphere incidence theorems in the finite field setting. First, we review the finite field restriction problem for cones and address new results on the conical restriction problems. In particular, we establish the restriction conjecture for the cone in four …
Specifying a computational problem requires fixing encodings for input and output: encoding graphs as adjacency matrices, characters as integers, integers as bit strings, and vice versa. For such discrete data, the actual encoding is usually straightforward and/or complexity-theoretically inessential (up to polynomial time, say). But concerning continuous data, already real numbers naturally suggest various encodings with very different computational properties. …
We prove that if $n \geq 3$, then any family of $3n-3$ sets of matchings of size $n$ in any graph has a rainbow matching of size $n$. This improves on a previous result, in which $3n-3$ is replaced by $3n-2$. We also prove a "cooperative" generalization: for $t > 0$ and $n \geq 3$, …
Erdős and Pósa proved in 1965 that there is a duality between the maximum size of a packing of cycles and the minimum size of a vertex set hitting all cycles. Such a duality does not hold if we restrict to odd cycles. However, in 1999, Reed proved an analogue for odd cycles by relaxing packing …
Graph saturation is one of the oldest areas of investigation in extremal combinatorics. A graph $G$ is called $F$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $F$, but the addition of any edge creates a copy of $F$. The function $\operatorname{sat}(n,F)$ is defined to be the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex …
We propose a theoretical analysis of recommendation systems in an online setting, where items are sequentially recommended to users over time. In each round, a user, randomly picked from a population of m users, requests a recommendation. The decision-maker observes the user and selects an item from a catalogue of n items. Importantly, an item …
In 1975, Erdős asked the following question: what is the smallest function $f(n)$ for which all graphs with $n$ vertices and $f(n)$ edges contain two edge-disjoint cycles $C_1$ and $C_2$, such that the vertex set of $C_2$ is a subset of the vertex set of $C_1$ and their cyclic orderings of the vertices respect each …
We show that that the maximum number of of edges in a $3$-uniform hypergraph without a Berge-cycle of length four is at most $(1+o(1)) \frac{n^{3/2}}{\sqrt{10}}$. This improves earlier estimates by Győri and Lemons and by Füredi and Özkahya. Joint work with Ergemlidze, Győri, Methuku, Salia.
In this talk we will have a brief introduction to oriented matroids and their relation to real-representability.
