If is a finite set of points which is 2-colored, an empty triangle is a set with so that the convex hull of is disjoint from . We say that is monochromatic if all points in are the same color.
Conjecture There exists a fixed constant with the following property. If is a set of points in general position which is 2-colored, then it has monochromatic empty triangles.
A friendly partition of a graph is a partition of the vertices into two sets so that every vertex has at least as many neighbours in its own class as in the other.
Problem Is it true that for every , all but finitely many -regular graphs have friendly partitions?
Begin with the generating function for unrestricted partitions:
(1+x+x^2+...)(1+x^2+x^4+...)(1+x^3+x^6+...)...
Now change some of the plus signs to minus signs. The resulting series will have coefficients congruent, mod 2, to the coefficients of the generating series for unrestricted partitions. I conjecture that the signs may be chosen such that all the coefficients of the series are either 1, -1, or zero.
The star chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of the graph so that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored.
Question Is it true that for every (sub)cubic graph , we have ?
Conjecture For , let be the statement that given any exact -coloring of the edges of a complete countably infinite graph (that is, a coloring with colors all of which must be used at least once), there exists an exactly -colored countably infinite complete subgraph. Then is true if and only if , , or .
Conjecture Let be a sequence of points in with the property that for every , the points are distinct, lie on a unique sphere, and further, is the center of this sphere. If this sequence is periodic, must its period be ?
Question What is the least integer such that every set of at least points in the plane contains collinear points or a subset of points in general position (no three collinear)?
Problem Two players alternately write O's (first player) and X's (second player) in the unoccupied cells of an grid. The first player (if any) to occupy four cells at the vertices of a square with horizontal and vertical sides is the winner. What is the outcome of the game given optimal play? Note: Roland Bacher and Shalom Eliahou proved that every 15 x 15 binary matrix contains four equal entries (all 0's or all 1's) at the vertices of a square with horizontal and vertical sides. So the game must result in a winner (the first player) when n=15.
Conjecture If a finite set of unit balls in is rearranged so that the distance between each pair of centers does not decrease, then the volume of the union of the balls does not decrease.
