Conjecture Any linear hypergraph with incidence poset of dimension at most 3 is the intersection hypergraph of a family of triangles and segments in the plane.
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 There is a finite upper bound on the multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle, other than the number .
The number appears once in Pascal's triangle, appears twice, appears three times, and appears times. There are infinite families of numbers known to appear times. The only number known to appear times is . It is not known whether any number appears more than times. The conjectured upper bound could be ; Singmaster thought it might be or . See Singmaster's conjecture.
Problem Let be an indexed family of filters on sets. Which of the below items are always pairwise equal?
1. The funcoid corresponding to this function (considered as a single argument function on indexed families) applied to the reloidal product of filters .
2. The funcoid corresponding to this function (considered as a single argument function on indexed families) applied to the starred reloidal product of filters .
Conjecture \item If is a 4-edge-connected locally finite graph, then its line graph is hamiltonian. \item If the line graph of a locally finite graph is 4-connected, then is hamiltonian.
Conjecture Suppose with is a connected cubic graph admitting a -edge coloring. Then there is an edge such that the cubic graph homeomorphic to has a -edge coloring.
Conjecture Let be a circuit in a bridgeless cubic graph . Then there is a five cycle double cover of such that is a subgraph of one of these five cycles.
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.
To divide a given 2D convex region C into a specified number n of convex pieces all of equal area (perimeters could be different) such that the total perimeter of pieces is (1) maximized (2) minimized.
Remark: It appears maximizing the total perimeter is the easier problem.
