Szekeres sequence
The Szekeres sequence is a mathematical sequence that arises in the study of combinatorial geometry. It is named after the Hungarian mathematician George Szekeres, who explored its properties in relation to the arrangement of points in the plane. The sequence is defined recursively, where each term is generated based on specific rules that depend on previous terms.
This sequence is particularly significant in the context of Ramsey theory, which deals with conditions under which a certain order must appear within a structure. The Szekeres sequence helps in understanding how points can be arranged to avoid certain configurations, contributing to broader insights in both mathematics and computer science.
