Budapest
Budapest (, ; ) is the capital and most populous city of Hungary. It is the ninth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits and the second-largest city on the Danube river; the city has an estimated population of 1,752,286 over a land area of about . Budapest, which is both a city and county, forms the centre of the Budapest metropolitan area, which has an area of and a population of 3,303,786; it is a primate city, constituting 33% of the population of Hungary. The history of Budapest began when an early Celtic settlement transformed into the Roman town of Aquincum, the capital of Lower Pannonia. The Hungarians arrived in the territory in the late 9th century, but the area was pillaged by the Mongols in 1241–42. Re-established Buda became one of the centres of Renaissance humanist culture by the 15th century. The Battle of Mohács, in 1526, was followed by nearly 150 years of Ottoman rule. After the reconquest of Buda in 1686, the ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Népszava
''Népszava'' (meaning "People's Word" in English) is a social-democratic Hungarian language newspaper published in Hungary. History and profile ''Népszava'' is Hungary's eldest continuous print publication and as of October 2019 the last and only remaining liberal, social democratic political daily in the country. ''Népszava'' was established in 1873 in Budapest by Viktor Külföldi. It was the official newspaper of the Hungarian Social Democratic Party until 1948 when Hungary became a communist state. During this period two of Népszava's editors in chief were murdered: Béla Somogyi (along with reporter Béla Bacsó) in 1920 by right wing officers and Illés Mónus in 1944 by members of the Hungarian Nazi Arrow Cross militia. During the period of the Hungarian People's Republic between 1948 and 1989, it was the official newspaper of Hungarian trade unions. In 1990 it was privatized. Its publisher, the entrepreneur János Fenyő was shot dead in Budapest in 1998. The ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Szemerédi–Trotter Theorem
The Szemerédi–Trotter theorem is a mathematical result in the field of Discrete geometry. It asserts that given points and lines in the Euclidean plane, the number of incidences (''i.e.'', the number of point-line pairs, such that the point lies on the line) is O \left ( n^ m^ + n + m \right ). This bound cannot be improved, except in terms of the implicit constants. As for the implicit constants, it was shown by János Pach, Radoš Radoičić, Gábor Tardos, and Géza Tóth that the upper bound 2.5n^ m^ + n + m holds. Since then better constants are known due to better crossing lemma constants; the current best is 2.44. On the other hand, Pach and Tóth showed that the statement does not hold true if one replaces the coefficient 2.5 with 0.42. An equivalent formulation of the theorem is the following. Given points and an integer , the number of lines which pass through at least of the points is O \left( \frac + \frac \right ). The original proof of Endre Szemerédi ...

Hajnal–Szemerédi Theorem
In graph theory, an area of mathematics, an equitable coloring is an assignment of colors to the vertices of an undirected graph, in such a way that *No two adjacent vertices have the same color, and *The numbers of vertices in any two color classes differ by at most one. That is, the partition of vertices among the different colors is as uniform as possible. For instance, giving each vertex a distinct color would be equitable, but would typically use many more colors than are necessary in an optimal equitable coloring. An equivalent way of defining an equitable coloring is that it is an embedding of the given graph as a subgraph of a Turán graph with the same set of vertices. There are two kinds of chromatic number associated with equitable coloring.. The equitable chromatic number of a graph ''G'' is the smallest number ''k'' such that ''G'' has an equitable coloring with ''k'' colors. But ''G'' might not have equitable colorings for some larger numbers of colors; the equita ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Erdős–Szemerédi Theorem
In arithmetic combinatorics, the Erdős–Szemerédi theorem states that for every finite set A of integers, at least one of A+A, the set of pairwise sums or A\cdot A, the set of pairwise products form a significantly larger set. More precisely, the Erdős–Szemerédi theorem states that there exist positive constants ''c'' and \varepsilon such that for any non-empty set A \subset \mathbb :\max( , A+A, , , A \cdot A, ) \geq c , A, ^ . It was proved by Paul Erdős and Endre Szemerédi in 1983.. The notation , A, denotes the cardinality of the set A. The set of pairwise sums is A+A = \ and is called sum set of A. The set of pairwise products is A \cdot A = \ and is called the product set of A. The theorem is a version of the maxim that additive structure and multiplicative structure cannot coexist. It can also be viewed as an assertion that the real line does not contain any set resembling a finite subring or finite subfield; it is the first example of what is now known as th ...

Szemerédi Regularity Lemma
Szemerédi's regularity lemma is one of the most powerful tools in extremal graph theory, particularly in the study of large dense graphs. It states that the vertices of every large enough graph can be partitioned into a bounded number of parts so that the edges between different parts behave almost randomly. According to the lemma, no matter how large a graph is, we can approximate it with the edge densities between a bounded number of parts. Between any two parts, the distribution of edges will be pseudorandom as per the edge density. These approximations provide essentially correct values for various properties of the graph, such as the number of embedded copies of a given subgraph or the number of edge deletions required to remove all copies of some subgraph. Statement To state Szemerédi's regularity lemma formally, we must formalize what the edge distribution between parts behaving 'almost randomly' really means. By 'almost random', we're referring to a notion called -regu ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Szemerédi's Theorem
In arithmetic combinatorics, Szemerédi's theorem is a result concerning arithmetic progressions in subsets of the integers. In 1936, Erdős and Turán conjectured that every set of integers ''A'' with positive natural density contains a ''k''-term arithmetic progression for every ''k''. Endre Szemerédi proved the conjecture in 1975. Statement A subset ''A'' of the natural numbers is said to have positive upper density if :\limsup_\frac > 0. Szemerédi's theorem asserts that a subset of the natural numbers with positive upper density contains infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length ''k'' for all positive integers ''k''. An often-used equivalent finitary version of the theorem states that for every positive integer ''k'' and real number \delta \in (0, 1], there exists a positive integer :N = N(k,\delta) such that every subset of of size at least δ''N'' contains an arithmetic progression of length ''k''. Another formulation uses the function ''r''''k''(''N''), t ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
