Conjecture For every , the sequence in consisting of copes of and copies of has the fewest number of distinct subsequence sums over all zero-free sequences from of length .
Question Is the MSO-alternation hierarchy strict for pictures that are balanced, in the sense that the width and the length are polynomially (or linearly) related.
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 Let be a graph and be a positive integer. The power of , denoted by , is defined on the vertex set , by connecting any two distinct vertices and with distance at most . In other words, . Also subdivision of , denoted by , is constructed by replacing each edge of with a path of length . Note that for , we have . Now we can define the fractional power of a graph as follows: Let be a graph and . The graph is defined by the power of the subdivision of . In other words . Conjecture. 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.
Problem Given a link in , let the symmetry group of be denoted ie: isotopy classes of diffeomorphisms of which preserve , where the isotopies are also required to preserve .
Now let be a hyperbolic link. Assume has the further `Brunnian' property that there exists a component of such that is the unlink. Let be the subgroup of consisting of diffeomorphisms of which preserve together with its orientation, and which preserve the orientation of .
There is a representation given by restricting the diffeomorphism to the . It's known that is always a cyclic group. And is a signed symmetric group -- the wreath product of a symmetric group with .
An -factor in a graph is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of covering all vertices of .

Conjecture Can all problems that can be computed by a probabilistic Turing machine (with error probability < 1/3) in polynomial time be solved by a deterministic Turing machine in polynomial time? That is, does P = BPP?
Problem Two players start at a distance of 2 on an (undirected) line (so, neither player knows the direction of the other) and both move at a maximum speed of 1. What is the infimum expected meeting time (first time when the players occupy the same point) which can be achieved assuming the two players must adopt the same strategy?
