Extermal Combinatorics II: Some Geometry and Number Theory

Posted on July 17, 2008 by

Extremal problems in additive number theory Our first lecture dealt with extremal problems for families of sets. In this lecture we will consider extremal problems for sets of real numbers, and for geometric configurations in planar Euclidean geometry.  Problem I: Given a set A of … Continue reading →
