Large set (combinatorics)

In combinatorial mathematics, a large set of positive integers is one such that the infinite sum of the reciprocals diverges. A small set is any subset of the positive integers that is not large; that is, one whose sum of reciprocals converges. Large sets appear in the Müntz–Szász theorem and in the Erdős conjecture on arithmetic progressions. (Wikipedia).

Topics in Combinatorics Lecture 15.8 --- Dimension arguments and sets with only two distances.

Let X be a subset of R^n such that there are only two possible distances between distinct elements of X. How large can X be? An example of such a set is the set of all 01 vectors with precisely two 1s, which has size n(n-1)/2. In this video I show how to prove an upper bound of (n+1)(n+4)/

Introduction to sets || Set theory Overview - Part 2

A set is the mathematical model for a collection of different things; a set contains elements or members, which can be mathematical objects of any kind: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometrical shapes, variables, or even other #sets. The #set with no element is the empty

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.1 --- the structure and properties of Bohr sets.

An important informal idea in additive combinatorics is that of a "structured" set. One example of a class of sets that are rich in additive structure is the class of Bohr sets, which play the role in general finite Abelian groups that subspaces play in the special case of groups of the fo

How many functions are there?

The answer is: a lot of them! In this video, I show that F(R), the set of functions from R to R, has the same cardinality as P(R), the set of subsets of the real numbers, which, in a previous video, I’ve shown to be much bigger than R. This is set theory at its finest :)

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 3.6 --- bounds for factorials and binomial coefficients

Combinatorics is full of estimates, and for many of them one needs bounds on factorials and binomial coefficients. Fortunately, one can often get away with fairly crude bounds that have straightforward proofs. Here I discuss some of these bounds. 0:00 Introduction and brief struggle with
