We prove a number of results related to a problem of Po-Shen Loh [9], which is equivalent to a problem in Ramsey theory. Let a = (a1, a2, a3) and b = (b1, b2, b3) be two triples of integers. Define a to be 2-less than b if ai < bi for at least two values of i, and define a sequence a1, …, am of triples to be 2-increasing if ar is 2-less than as whenever r < s. Loh asks how long a 2-increasing sequence can be if all the triples take values in {1, 2, …, n}, and gives a log* improvement over the…

Tight paths and matchings in convex geometric hypergraphs
• Mathematics

A convex geometric hypergraph or cgh is a hypergraph whose vertex set comprises the vertices of a convex polygon in the plane. The extremal problem consists in determining, given an $r$-uniform cgh
Computing Autotopism Groups of Partial Latin Rectangles

These results suggest a hybrid approach to computing autotopism groups: the software decides on suitable EIs based on the input; and the user chooses between the MMM or the PLR graph methods, depending on their dataset.
Extremal problems for pairs of triangles in a convex polygon

A convex geometric hypergraph or cgh consists of a family of subsets of a strictly convex set of points in the plane. The study of cghs is motivated by problems in combinatorial geometry, and was

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and

We prove the well-known Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture for hypergraphs of large uniformity in the following form: any dense linear $r$-graph $G$ has $k$ edges spanning at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices,

It is shown that packings by the cross that are extremely regular (lattice packings) do just about as well as arbitrary packings in all dimensions and for k large, and for the semicross, even in R^{3} , when the arm length k is large, latticePackings are much less dense than arbitraryPackings.
