Menger's theorem

In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, Menger's theorem says that in a finite graph, the size of a minimum cut set is equal to the maximum number of disjoint paths that can be found between any pair of vertices.Proved by Karl Menger in 1927, it characterizes the connectivity of a graph.It is generalized by the max-flow min-cut theorem, which is a weighted, edge version, and which in turn is a special case of the strong duality theorem for linear programs. (Wikipedia).

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Dirichlet Eta Function - Integral Representation

Today, we use an integral to derive one of the integral representations for the Dirichlet eta function. This representation is very similar to the Riemann zeta function, which explains why their respective infinite series definition is quite similar (with the eta function being an alte rna

Intro to Menger's Theorem | Graph Theory, Connectivity

Menger's theorem tells us that for any two nonadjacent vertices, u and v, in a graph G, the minimum number of vertices in a u-v separating set is equal to the maximum number of internally disjoint u-v paths in G. The Proof of Menger's Theorem: https://youtu.be/2rbbq-Mk-YE Remember that

A (truly) universal polynomial differential equation Lee A. Rubel proved in 1981 that there exists a universal fourth-order algebraic differential equation P(y,y',y'',y''')=0 (1) and provided an explicit example. It is universal in the sense that for any continuous function f from R to

Proof: Menger's Theorem | Graph Theory, Connectivity

We prove Menger's theorem stating that for two nonadjacent vertices u and v, the minimum number of vertices in a u-v separating set is equal to the maximum number of internally disjoint u-v paths. If you want to learn about the theorem, see how it relates to vertex connectivity, and see

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 1.8 --- Plünnecke's theorem

In this video I present a proof of Plünnecke's theorem due to George Petridis, which also uses some arguments of Imre Ruzsa. Plünnecke's theorem is a very useful tool in additive combinatorics, which implies that if A is a set of integers such that |A+A| is at most C|A|, then for any pair

What are Vertex Separating Sets? | Graph Theory

What are vertex separating sets in graph theory? We'll be going over the definition of a vertex separating set and some examples in today's video graph theory lesson! Let G be a graph and S be a vertex cut of G. As in, S is a set of vertices of G such that G - S is disconnected. Then, let
