Problem What is the maximum number of colours needed to colour countries such that no two countries sharing a common border have the same colour in the case where each country consists of one region on earth and one region on the moon ?
Conjecture For which values of and are there bi-colored graphs on vertices and different colors with the property that all the monochromatic colorings have unit weight, and every other coloring cancels out?
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 .
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.
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.
Let be a class of finite relational structures. We denote by the number of structures in over the labeled set . For any class definable in monadic second-order logic with unary and binary relation symbols, Specker and Blatter showed that, for every , the function is ultimately periodic modulo .
Question Does the Blatter-Specker Theorem hold for ternary relations.
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.
Problem Is there a minimum integer such that the vertices of any digraph with minimum outdegree can be partitioned into two classes so that the minimum outdegree of the subgraph induced by each class is at least ?
Problem What is the largest connected planar graph of minimum degree 3 which has everywhere positive combinatorial curvature, but is not a prism or antiprism?
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)?
Conjecture For every set of points in the plane, not all collinear, there is a point in contained in at least lines determined by , for some constant .
Consider a set of great circles on a sphere with no three circles meeting at a point. The arrangement graph of has a vertex for each intersection point, and an edge for each arc directly connecting two intersection points. So this arrangement graph is 4-regular and planar.
Conjecture Every arrangement graph of a set of great circles is -colourable.
The zeroes of the Riemann zeta function that are inside the Critical Strip (i.e. the vertical strip of the complex plane where the real part of the complex variable is in ]0;1[), are actually located on the Critical line ( the vertical line of the complex plane with real part equal to 1/2)
Conjecture For every prime , there is a constant (possibly ) so that the union (as multisets) of any bases of the vector space contains an additive basis.
Conjecture Every complete geometric graph with an even number of vertices has a partition of its edge set into plane (i.e. non-crossing) spanning trees.
Conjecture Let and . Then for any neighborhood there is such that is periodic point of
There is an analogous conjecture for flows ( vector fields . In the case of diffeos this was proved by Charles Pugh for . In the case of Flows this has been solved by Sushei Hayahshy for . But in the two cases the problem is wide open for
An alternating walk in a digraph is a walk so that the vertex is either the head of both and or the tail of both and for every . A digraph is universal if for every pair of edges , there is an alternating walk containing both and
Question Does there exist a locally finite highly arc transitive digraph which is universal?
