O evente
In a nutshell, extremal combinatorics studies how large a collection of finite objects (numbers, vectors, sets, etc.) might be, if it has to satisfy given restrictions. About a year ago when studying an extremal problem seeking a six-tuple of different orderings that interlace in a rather peculiar way, we have formulated and resolved a simplified variant of the original problem. In May 2026, this simpler variant was added to the list of 100 problems in the so-called Benchmarks in Leipzig, where state-of-the-art LLMs got tested on research-level mathematics with known (human) solutions, and it remained as one of the two problems that resisted the AI attempt. In this talk, we give a light introduction to extremal combinatorics, and describe the shattering problem. We will also briefly discuss math tools behind our solution, emphasising the parts that were computer-aided (without any AI/LLM tools). No mathematical background beyond high school will be needed. ------------------------------------------------------------- ⌚️ Start: 17:00 and end at 18:00, both online and offline in Truhlárna Karlín (Šaldova 388/5)
