Let S ⊂ R have size |S| > `2n−1. We show that there are distinct points {x, . . . , x} ⊂ S such that for each i ∈ [n], the coordinate sequence (xji ) `+1 j=1 is strictly increasing, strictly decreasing, or constant, and that this bound on |S| is best possible. This is analogous to the Erdős-Szekeres theorem on monotonic sequences in R. We apply these results to bound the size of a stable set in...

In this article we show the process that led Colombian medicine toward the discovery and acceptance of the causes of paludism, a disease that still haunts the large hot and humid zones in the country. To carry out this process, a new generation of physicians had to overrule the old miasma theory and accept the vectors theory. In this regard, however, Pasteurian theory was also more of an obstac...
