Obstacles For Splitting Multidimensional Necklaces

Michal Lason

The well-known "necklace splitting theorem" of Alon (1987) asserts that every k-colored necklace can be fairly split into q parts using at most t cuts, provided k(q - 1)

Coloring Intersection Graphs of Arc-Connected Sets in the Plane

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

A family of sets in the plane is simple if the intersection of any subfamily is arc-connected, and it is pierced by a line L if the intersection of any member with L is a nonempty segment. It is proved that the intersection graphs of simple families of com ...

Triangle-free intersection graphs of line segments with large chromatic number

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

In the 1970s Erdos asked whether the chromatic number of intersection graphs of line segments in the plane is bounded by a function of their clique number. We show the answer is no. Specifically, for each positive integer k we construct a triangle-free fam ...

An extremal problem on crossing vectors

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

For positive integers w and k, two vectors A and B from Z(w) are called k-crossing if there are two coordinates i and j such that A[i] - B[i] >= k and B[j] - A[j] >= k. What is the maximum size of a family of pairwise 1-crossing and pairwise non-k-crossing ...

Triangle-Free Geometric Intersection Graphs with Large Chromatic Number

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph may be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently no such construction was known for intersection graphs of geometric objects in the ...
