On the Growth of a Van Der Waerden-like Function

نویسنده

  • Ron Graham
چکیده

Let W (3, k) denote the largest integer w such that there is a red/blue coloring of {1, 2, . . . , w} which has no red 3-term arithmetic progression and no block of k consecutive blue integers. We show that for some absolute constant c, W (3, k) ≥ k log k for all k. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification: 05D10

Magnetic Properties in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Square Lattice

In this paper we investigate the effect of a random transverse field, distributed according to a trimodal distribution, on the phase diagram and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional lattice (square with z=4),  ferromagnetic Ising system consisting of magnetic atoms with spin-1. This study is done using the effectivefield theory (EFT) with correlations method. The equations are derived using...

Green-Tao Numbers and SAT

We consider the links between Ramsey theory in the integers, based on van der Waerden’s theorem, and (boolean, CNF) SAT solving. We aim at using the problems from exact Ramsey theory, concerned with computing Ramsey-type numbers, as a rich source of test problems, where especially methods for solving hard problems can be developed. We start our investigations here by reviewing the known van der...

A van der Waerden Variant

The classical van der Waerden Theorem says that for every every finite set S of natural numbers and every k-coloring of the natural numbers, there is a monochromatic set of the form aS+b for some a > 0 and b ≥ 0. I.e., monochromatism is obtained by a dilation followed by a translation. We investigate the effect of reversing the order of dilation and translation. S has the variant van der Waerde...

A New Method to Construct Lower Bounds for Van der Waerden Numbers

We present the Cyclic Zipper Method, a procedure to construct lower bounds for Van der Waerden numbers. Using this method we improved seven lower bounds. For natural numbers r, k and n a Van der Waerden certificate W (r, k, n) is a partition of {1, . . . , n} into r subsets, such that none of them contains an arithmetic progression of length k (or larger). Van der Waerden showed that given r an...

A Modified van der Waals Mixture Theory for Associating Fluids: Application to Ternary Aqueous Mixtures

In this study a simple and general chemical association theory is introduced. The concept of infinite equilibrium model is re-examined and true mole fractions of associated species are calculated. The theory is applied to derive the distribution function of associated species. As a severe test the application of presented theory to the van der Waals mixture model is introduced in order to p...
