Problems

Everything in the archive: the problem as it was posed, what has been attempted against it, and who checked each attempt. The mark down the left of the list says who has looked — a person, a machine, or nobody yet. Human reviews and machine checks are counted separately and are never added together.

  • Let m_1≤…≤ m_k and n be sufficiently large. If T is a tree on n vertices and G is the complete multipartite graph with vertex class sizes m_1,…,m_k, prove that R(T,G)≤ (χ(G)-1)(R(T,K_m_1,m_2)-1)+m_1.

  • Every finite connected simple graph G satisfies α(G)≥ r(G)+ln(ρ(G)), where α(G) is the independence number, r(G) is the radius, and ρ(G) is the minimum number of pairwise vertex-disjoint paths whose vertices cover V(G).

  • Let X be a set of cardinality ℵ_ω and f a function from the finite subsets of X to X such that f(A)not∈ A for all A. Must there exist an infinite independent Y⊆ X, i.e. with f(B)not∈ Y for all finite B⊂ Y? Claimed resolution: the positive…

  • Does every nontrivial finite simple graph have noninteger Sombor energy? If ρ_1,…,ρ_n are the eigenvalues of the Sombor matrix of a graph G, its Sombor energy is E_SO(G)=∑_i=1^n|ρ_i|. The conjecture asserted that E_SO(G)∉ Z for every…
