A graph G on n vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a cycle of length n and pancyclic if it contains cycles of length for all 3 ≤ ≤ n. Write α(G) for the independence numbe...

We consider the following combinatorial problem: given a set of n objects (for example, disks in the plane, triangles), and an integer L ≥ 1, what is the size of the smallest su...
