Unsolved problems in graph theory | Conjectures

Sumner's conjecture

Sumner's conjecture (also called Sumner's universal tournament conjecture) states that every orientation of every -vertex tree is a subgraph of every -vertex tournament. David Sumner, a graph theorist at the University of South Carolina, conjectured in 1971 that tournaments are universal graphs for polytrees. The conjecture was proven for all large by Daniela Kühn, Richard Mycroft, and Deryk Osthus. (Wikipedia).

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

A (compelling?) reason for the Riemann Hypothesis to be true #SOME2

A visual walkthrough of the Riemann Zeta function and a claim of a good reason for the truth of the Riemann Hypothesis. This is not a formal proof but I believe the line of argument could lead to a formal proof.

The Pattern to Prime Numbers?

In this video, we explore the "pattern" to prime numbers. I go over the Euler product formula, the prime number theorem and the connection between the Riemann zeta function and primes. Here's a video on a similar topic by Numberphile if you're interested: https://youtu.be/uvMGZb0Suyc The

Mertens Conjecture Disproof and the Riemann Hypothesis | MegaFavNumbers

#MegaFavNumbers The Mertens conjecture is a conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of the prime numbers. It can be seen as a stronger version of the Riemann hypothesis. It says that the Mertens function is bounded by sqrt(n). The Riemann hypothesis on the other hand only require

Gronwall inequality

In this video, I state and prove Grönwall’s inequality, which is used for example to show that (under certain assumptions), ODEs have a unique solution. Basically it says that if a function satisfies a differential equation, but with an inequality, then it must grow sub-exponentially.
