A note on the Hadwiger number of circular arc graphs
Abstract. The intention of this note is to motivate the researchers to study Hadwiger’s conjecture for circular arc graphs. Let η(G) denote the largest clique minor of a graph G...

Merit Factors and Morse Sequences
Abstract. We show that Turyn’s conjecture, arising from the Theory of Error Correcting Codes, has an equivalent formulation in Dynamical Systems Theory. In particular, Turyn’s ...

Distribution of irreducible polynomials of small degrees over finite fields
D. Wan very recently proved an asymptotic version of a conjecture of Hansen and Mullen concerning the distribution of irreducible polynomials over finite fields. In this note we ...

On the Stanley-Wilf Conjecture for the Number of Permutations Avoiding a Given Pattern
Abstract. Consider, for a permutation Sk, the number F(n, ) of permutations in Sn which avoid as a subpattern. The conjecture of Stanley and Wilf is that for every there is a c...

On intersecting hypergraphs
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...

On the notion of interestingness in automated mathematical discovery
We survey five mathematical discovery programs by looking in detail at the discovery processes they illustrate and the success they've had. We focus on how they estimate the ...

On a conjecture of Keedwell and the cycle double cover conjecture
At the 16th British Combinatorial Conference (1997), Cameron introduced a new concept called 2-simultaneous coloring. He used this concept to reformulate a conjecture of Keedwell ...

Toida's Conjecture is True
Let S be a subset of the units in Zn. Let be a circulant graph of order n (a Cayley graph of Zn) such that if ij E(), then i - j (mod n) S. Toida conjectured that if is another...

Graph Color Extensions: When Hadwiger's Conjecture and Embeddings Help
Suppose G is r-colorable and P V (G) is such that the components of G[P] are far apart. We show that any (r + s)-coloring of G[P] in which each component is s-colored extends to ...

Note on Gy. Elekes's Conjectures Concerning Unavoidable Patterns in Proper Colorings
A counterexample is presented to Gy. Elekes's conjecture concerning the existence of long 2-colored paths in properly colored graphs. A modified version of the conjecture is ...
