Setup Fix a tree and for every vertex a non-negative integer which we think of as the amount of gold at .
2-Player game Players alternate turns. On each turn, a player chooses a leaf vertex of the tree, takes the gold at this vertex, and then deletes . The game ends when the tree is empty, and the winner is the player who has accumulated the most gold.
If , are graphs, a function is called cycle-continuous if the pre-image of every element of the (binary) cycle space of is a member of the cycle space of .
Problem Does there exist an infinite set of graphs so that there is no cycle continuous mapping between and whenever ?
Conjecture A Fermat prime is a Fermat number that is prime. The only known Fermat primes are F_0 =3,F_1=5,F_2=17,F_3 =257 ,F_4=65537 It is unknown if other fermat primes exist.
Conjecture Define a array of positive integers where the first row consists of some distinct positive integers arranged in increasing order, and the second row consists of any positive integers in any order. Create a new array where the first row consists of all the integers that occur in the first array, arranged in increasing order, and the second row consists of their multiplicities. Repeat the process. For example, starting with the array , the sequence is: -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> , and we now have a fixed point (loop of one array).
The process always results in a loop of 1, 2, or 3 arrays.
Conjecture For every rational and every rational , there is no polynomial-time algorithm for the following problem.
Given is a 3SAT (3CNF) formula on variables, for some , and clauses drawn uniformly at random from the set of formulas on variables. Return with probability at least 0.5 (over the instances) that is typical without returning typical for any instance with at least simultaneously satisfiable clauses.
Basic Question: Given any positive integer n, can any convex polygon be partitioned into n convex pieces so that all pieces have the same area and same perimeter?
Definitions: Define a Fair Partition of a polygon as a partition of it into a finite number of pieces so that every piece has both the same area and the same perimeter. Further, if all the resulting pieces are convex, call it a Convex Fair Partition.
Questions: 1. (Rephrasing the above 'basic' question) Given any positive integer n, can any convex polygon be convex fair partitioned into n pieces?
2. If the answer to the above is "Not always'', how does one decide the possibility of such a partition for a given convex polygon and a given n? And if fair convex partition is allowed by a specific convex polygon for a give n, how does one find the optimal convex fair partition that minimizes the total length of the cut segments?
3. Finally, what could one say about higher dimensional analogs of this question?
Conjecture: The authors tend to believe that the answer to the above 'basic' question is "yes". In other words they guess: Every convex polygon allows a convex fair partition into n pieces for any n
Conjecture In the category of continuous funcoids (defined similarly to the category of topological spaces) the following is a direct categorical product:
\item Product morphism is defined similarly to the category of topological spaces. \item Product object is the sub-atomic product. \item Projections are sub-atomic projections.

Let be a connected graph with and be a positive integer greater than 1. Then for any positive integer , we have . In [1], it was shown that this conjecture is true in some special cases.
