The Rado triple conjecture for homogeneous quadratic equations
The Rado triple conjecture for homogeneous quadratic equations
Let . An equation is partition regular if every finite coloring of admits a monochromatic solution. A triple is a Rado triple in the sense used for homogeneous quadratic equations.
Rado triple conjecture. The equation
is partition regular if and only if is a Rado triple.
The necessity follows from Rado's theorem together with the implication that partition regularity of implies partition regularity of . No instance of a Rado triple is currently known for which the required partition regularity has been proved; notable test cases include , , and .
