The total chromatic number zt(G) of a graph G is the least number of colors needed to color the vertices and edges of G so that no adjacent vertices or edges receive the same colo...
We investigate the following question: “Given an intersecting multi-hypergraph on n points, what fraction of edges must be covered by any of the best 2 points?” (Here “best...
We prove the conjecture of Abbott and Katchalski that for every m ≥ 2 there is a positive constant λm such that S(Kd mn) ≥ λmnd−1 S(Kd−1 m ) where S(Kd m) is the length o...
For every integer p > 0 let f(p) be the minimum possible value of the maximum weight of a cut in an integer weighted graph with total weight p. It is shown that for every large...
A tree function (TF) t on a ÿnite set X is a real function on the set of the pairs of elements of X satisfying the four-point condition: for all distinct x; y; z; w ∈ X; t(xy)+...
