โฆ Synopsis
For integers m, n โฅ 2, let f (m, n) be the minimum order of a graph where every vertex belongs to both a clique of cardinality m and an independent set of cardinality n. We show that f (m, n) = ( โ m -1 + โ n -1) 2 .

Let D be a (v, k, \*)-difference set in a group G. Assume that G has a normal subgroup N such that GรN is cyclic or nearly cyclic. Under the self-conjugacy assumption on exp(GรN), we shall give bounds on |N| and \*. The theorem is applicable to a wider variety of parameters for groups, not necessari
Rabern recently proved that any graph with โฅ 3 4 ( +1) contains a stable set meeting all maximum cliques. We strengthen this result, proving that such a stable set exists for any graph with > 2 3 ( +1). This is tight, i.e. the inequality in the statement must be strict. The proof relies on finding a
Mutually orthogonal sets of hypercubes are higher dimensional generalizations of mutually orthogonal sets of Latin squares. For Latin squares, it is well known that the Cayley table of a group of order n is a Latin square, which has no orthogonal mate if n is congruent to 2 modulo 4. We will prove a
