Hindman's generalized conjecture on finite sums and products
Hindman's generalized conjecture on finite sums and products
Let and let a finite coloring of be given. Generalized Hindman's conjecture. There exist infinitely many such that all finite sums and all finite products formed using distinct elements from are monochromatic. This extends Hindman's sum-and-product problem from two variables to arbitrarily many selected elements; the supplied status evidence says that this conjecture remains open.
