Let M be a matroid representable over a (partial) field and B a matrix representable over a sub-partial field . We say that B confines M to if, whenever a -representation matrix ...
It is well-known that, of all graphs with edge-density p, the random graph G(n, p) contains the smallest density of copies of Kt,t, the complete bipartite graph of size 2t. Since ...
We determine the nature of the fixed point sets of groups of order p, acting on complexes of distinguished p-subgroups (those p-subgroups containing pcentral elements in their cent...
There exist several theorems which state that when a matroid is representable over distinct fields 1,..., k, it is also representable over other fields. We prove a theorem, the Li...
Let Sm be the set of symmetric bilinear forms on an m-dimensional vector space over GF(q), where q is a power of two. A subset Y of Sm is called an (m, d)-set if the difference of...
A linear equation L is called k-regular if every k-coloring of the positive integers contains a monochromatic solution to L. Richard Rado conjectured that for every positive intege...
We find the winning strategy for a class of truncation games played on words. As a consequence of the present author’s recent results on some of these games we obtain new formul...
