  • Optimal Strategies in the All-Heads Coin GameW. van Doorn (small-$p$ regime left open; game builds on a question of J. Breitner), 2024

    In the all-heads coin game a player starts with n coins, each showing heads with probability p; each round all remaining coins are flipped, the player must set aside at least one head (losing if none shows), and wins once all coins are set…

  • Erdős Problem #1151Paul Erdős, 1999

    Let L^nf be the Lagrange interpolation polynomials of a continuous f on the Chebyshev nodes. Prove that, for any closed A⊆ [-1,1], there exists a continuous function f such that A is the set of limit points of L^nf(x).

  • Written on the Wall II, Graph Conjecture 322Written on the Wall II (automated conjecturing)

    Let G be a simple connected graph on n≥ 5 vertices. If the maximum over all vertices v of ℓ(v) - the independence number of the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood N(v) - is at most 1, must G be well totally dominated? Answered…

  • If g_3(n) is the largest size of A ⊆ [1,n] with fewer than three representations of every product a_1 a_2, does its conjectured second-order normalized term converge? The candidate proof gives an explicit limit constant.

  • Written on the Wall II, Graph Conjecture 103Graffiti (Written on the Wall II), 1996

    For every connected graph G, is α(G) ≤ ⌊ b(G) - log(ecc_avg(G)) ⌋, where b(G) is the largest induced-bipartite-subgraph order? An 11-vertex counterexample - a triangle with four leaves on each of two vertices - has α = 9 against bound 8.

    For unit-modulus complex numbers z_i, let p_n(z)=∏_i≤ n(z-z_i) and M_n=max_|z|=1|p_n(z)|. Erdős's prize question: is there c>0 with ∑_k≤ n M_k > n^1+c?

    Let A⊂N be infinite. Must there exist some k≥ 1 such that almost all integers have a divisor of the form a+k for some a∈ A? The question as posed follows negatively from Davenport–Erdős (1951). The AI result settles Tenenbaum's harder…

    Albertson and Berman conjectured that for every simple planar graph G on n vertices, the largest vertex set inducing a forest has size at least n/2. The standing lower bound since the same year has been Borodin's 2n/5, from his acyclic…
