A Survey of Forbidden Configuration Results (Draft)

چکیده
This paper surveys various results concerning the problem of forbidden configurations (also known as trace in the language of set systems). Let F be a k × ` (0,1)-matrix (the forbidden configuration). We define a matrix to be simple if it is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. The matrix F need not be simple. We define forb(m,F ) as the maximum number of columns of any simple m-rowed matrix A which do not contain F as a configuration. Thus if A is an m × n simple matrix which has no submatrix which is a row and column permutation of F then n ≤ forb(m,F ). Or alternatively if A is an m × (forb(m,F ) + 1) simple matrix then A has a submatrix which is a row and column permutation of F . Perhaps the most fundamental result is due to Sauer, Perles and Shelah, Vapnik and Chervonenkis but there are many other results catalogued here. In the language of sets, a configuration is a trace. We seek exact values for forb(m,F ) as well as seeking asymptotic results for forb(m,F ) for a fixed F and as m tends to infinity. A conjecture of Anstee and Sali predicts the asymptotically best constructions from which to derive the asymptotics of forb(m,F ). This conjecture has helped guide the research and has been verified for k×` F with k = 1, 2, 3, with ` = 1, 2 and for simple F with k = 4 as well as other cases.

A Survey of Forbidden Configuration Results
Let F be a k×` (0,1)-matrix. We say a (0,1)-matrix A has F as a configuration if there is a submatrix of A which is a row and column permutation of F . In the language of sets, a configuration is a trace and in the language of hypergraphs a configuration is a subhypergraph. Let F be a given k × ` (0,1)-matrix. We define a matrix to be simple if it is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. The...

Visual Preferences of Small Urban Parks Based on Spatial Configuration of Place
The importance of small urban parks (SUP) in mega cities has been accepted as an essential component of urban lung and restorative settings. As urban population in the world increases and the cost of maintaining large parks escalates, urban authorities are shifting their attention to creating and maintaining smaller urban parks. However, SUP may present a different ambience due to their locatio...
متن کاملNumerical Study of a Pipe Extension Effect in Draft Tube on Hydraulic Turbine Performance
Draft tube of Francis type hydraulic turbine usually consists of: cone, elbow and diffuser. On the contrary, in some power stations an extra pipe should be added to the draft tube at the bottom of cone because of installation limitation. In this paper, this special case has been numerically studied. To this end CFD analysis was applied to simulate all parts of hydraulic turbine. A homogeneous m...
