Set-polynomials and polynomial extension of the Hales-Jewett theorem.
We prove a version of the Ramsey theorem for partitions of (increasing) n-tuples. We derive this result from a version of König's infinity lemma for ξ-large trees. Here ξ < ε₀ and the notion of largeness is in the sense of Hardy hierarchy.
We prove that every bounded, uniformly separated sequence in a normed space contains a “uniformly independent” subsequence (see definition); the constants involved do not depend on the sequence or the space. The finite version of this result is true for all quasinormed spaces. We give a counterexample to the infinite version in for each 0 < p < 1. Some consequences for nonstandard topological vector spaces are derived.
Let n, k, α be integers, n, α>0, p be a prime and q=p α. Consider the complete q-uniform family We study certain inclusion matrices attached to F(k,q) over the field . We show that if l≤q−1 and 2l≤n then This extends a theorem of Frankl [7] obtained for the case α=1. In the proof we use arguments involving Gröbner bases, standard monomials and reduction. As an application, we solve a problem of Babai and Frankl related to the size of some L-intersecting families modulo q.
Let r ≥ 2 be an integer. A real number α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r if for any ε > 0 and any integer m ≥ r, any r-uniform graph with n > n₀(ε,m) vertices and density at least α+ε contains a subgraph with m vertices and density at least α+c, where c = c(α) > 0 does not depend on ε and m. A result of Erdös, Stone and Simonovits implies that every α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r = 2. Erdös asked whether the same is true for r ≥ 3. Frankl and Rödl gave a negative answer by showing an infinite sequence...
The theorem of Edmonds and Fulkerson states that the partial transversals of a finite family of sets form a matroid. The aim of this paper is to present a symmetrized and continuous generalization of this theorem.
