Conjecture Can the approximation ratio be improved for the Maximum Edge Disjoint Paths problem (MaxEDP) in planar graphs or can an inapproximability result stronger than -hardness?
For a graph , let denote the cardinality of a maximum cycle packing (collection of vertex disjoint cycles) and let denote the cardinality of a minimum feedback vertex set (set of vertices so that is acyclic).
For any simple digraph , we let be the number of unordered pairs of nonadjacent vertices (i.e. the number of non-edges), and be the size of the smallest feedback edge set.
Conjecture If is a simple digraph without directed cycles of length , then .
Conjecture For all positive integers and , there exists an integer such that every graph of average degree at least contains a subgraph of average degree at least and girth greater than .
The problem concerns the extension of Monadic Second Order Logic (over a binary relation representing the edge relation) with the following atomic formulas:
\item \item
where is a fixed recursive set of integers.
Let us fix and a closed formula in this language.
Conjecture Is it true that the validity of for a graph of tree-width at most can be tested in polynomial time in the size of ?
Suppose is a finite group, and is a positive integer dividing . Suppose that has exactly solutions to . Does it follow that these solutions form a subgroup of ?
Problem What is the maximum number of colours needed to colour countries such that no two countries sharing a common border have the same colour in the case where each country consists of one region on earth and one region on the moon ?
Problem Find a constant such that for any there is a sequence of tautologies of depth that have polynomial (or quasi-polynomial) size proofs in depth Frege system but requires exponential size proofs.
Question Is the MSO-alternation hierarchy strict for pictures that are balanced, in the sense that the width and the length are polynomially (or linearly) related.
Let be a simple graph, and for every list assignment let be the maximum number of vertices of which are colorable with respect to . Define , where the minimum is taken over all list assignments with for all .
Conjecture [2] Let be a graph with list chromatic number and . Then
Conjecture There is a finite upper bound on the multiplicities of entries in Pascal's triangle, other than the number .
The number appears once in Pascal's triangle, appears twice, appears three times, and appears times. There are infinite families of numbers known to appear times. The only number known to appear times is . It is not known whether any number appears more than times. The conjectured upper bound could be ; Singmaster thought it might be or .
