Intertwining Extremal Combinatorics and Finite Geometry Ghent University
Extremal combinatorics investigates finite objects such as graphs or set systems with extremal properties. Finite geometry investigates finite incidence structures. For decades there have been interesting interactions between both areas: (1) Finite geometry provides examples of graphs and hypergraphs with extremal properties for extremal combinatorics. (2) Problems in extremal combinatorics on families of finite sets generalize naturally to ...
