Networks of vertices and edges.
26 problemsArrangements, distances, coverings, and extremal geometric configurations.
11 problemsColors, subgraphs, labels and paths that visit every vertex.
20 problemsPacking, covering, distances and other limits set by geometry.
11 problemsRearranging bases, choosing distinct symbols and listing minimal hitting sets.
4 problemsA graph that needs many colors is predicted to contain a correspondingly large complete graph after edges are contracted and vertices removed.
How many colors are needed to color every point of the plane so that points exactly one unit apart always have different colors?
Square matrices of plus and minus ones can have mutually orthogonal rows. The conjecture predicts one for every size divisible by four.
If a finite collection of sets contains every union of two of its members, must some element occur in at least half the sets?
Runners start together on a circular track at different constant speeds. Each is predicted to eventually be well separated from all the others.
Forbidding one fixed induced graph is predicted to force a large group of vertices that are all connected to each other or all disconnected.
