On the maximum number of integer colourings with forbidden monochromatic sums, Hong Liu, Maryam Sharifzadeh and Katherine Staden Maryam spoke about this paper at this week’s combinatorics seminar. The problem is as follows. Let be the number of -colourings of a subset of with no monochromatic sum . What is the maximum of over all ? …

Block partitions of sequences
Let be a line segment of length broken into pieces of length at most . It’s easy to break into blocks (using the preexisting breakpoints) that differ in length by at most (break at the nearest available point to , etc.). In the case where each piece has length and the number of pieces isn’t divisible …
