Freiman's theorem in additive combinatorics
Hančl, Jaroslav ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (referee) ; Klazar, Martin (advisor)
In the presented summary work we study the inverse problem in additive number theory. More speci cally, we try to characterize sets A of positive integers if we know some information about their sumsets 2A = A + A. At the beginning we devote some time to nite sets with the property |2A| = 2|Aj| - 1, then we solve a generalized problem for such abelian groups G in whose order of all elements is bounded by a constant rand their subsets A satisfying j2Aj cjAj. At the end we present the famous Freiman theorem, which describes sets of positive integers A small in the sense |2A| - c|A|. We prove this theorem and give some corollaries and applications.

Ramsey theory and combinatorial games
Valla, Tomáš ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (advisor)
Ramsey theory studies the internal homogenity of mathematical structures (graphs, number sets), parts of which (subgraphs, number subsets) are arbitrarily coloured. Often, the sufficient object size implies the existence of a monochromatic sub-object. Combinatorial games are 2-player games of skill with perfect information. The theory of combinatorial games studies mostly the questions of existence of winning or drawing strategies. Let us consider an object that is studied by a particular Ramsey-type theorem. Assume two players alternately colour parts of this object by two colours and their goal is to create certain monochromatic sub-object. Then this is a combinatorial game. We focus on the minimum object size such that the appropriate Ramsey-type theorem holds, called Ramsey number, and on the minimum object size such that the rst player has a winning strategy in the corresponding combinatorial game, called game number. In this thesis, we describe such Ramsey-type theorems where the Ramsey number is substantially greater than the game number. This means, we show the existence of rst player's winning strategies, together with Ramsey and game numbers upper bounds, and we compare both numbers.

Combinatorial Properties of Finite Models
Hubička, Jan ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Pultr, Aleš (referee) ; Cameron, P. (referee)
We study countable embedding-universal and homomorphism-universal structures and unify results related to both of these notions. We show that many universal and ultrahomogeneous structures allow a concise description (called here a finite presentation). Extending classical work of Rado (for the random graph), we find a finite presentation for each of the following classes: homogeneous undirected graphs, homogeneous tournaments and homogeneous partially ordered sets. We also give a finite presentation of the rational Urysohn metric space and some homogeneous directed graphs. We survey well known structures that are finitely presented. We focus on structures endowed with natural partial orders and prove their universality. These partial orders include partial orders on sets of words, partial orders formed by geometric objects, grammars, polynomials and homomorphism orders for various combinatorial objects. We give a new combinatorial proof of the existence of embedding-universal objects for homomorphism-defined classes of structures. This relates countable embedding-universal structures to homomorphism dualities (finite homomorphism-universal structures) and Urysohn metric spaces. Our explicit construction also allows us to show several properties of these structures.

Ramsey-type results for ordered hypergraphs
Balko, Martin ; Valtr, Pavel (advisor) ; Conlon, David (referee) ; Nešetřil, Jaroslav (referee)
Ramsey-type results for ordered hypergraphs Martin Balko Abstract We introduce ordered Ramsey numbers, which are an analogue of Ramsey numbers for graphs with a linear ordering on their vertices. We study the growth rate of ordered Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs with respect to the number of vertices. We find ordered match- ings whose ordered Ramsey numbers grow superpolynomially. We show that ordered Ramsey numbers of ordered graphs with bounded degeneracy and interval chromatic number are at most polynomial. We prove that ordered Ramsey numbers are at most polynomial for ordered graphs with bounded bandwidth. We find 3-regular graphs that have superlinear ordered Ramsey numbers, regardless of the ordering. The last two results solve problems of Conlon, Fox, Lee, and Sudakov. We derive the exact formula for ordered Ramsey numbers of mono- tone cycles and use it to obtain the exact formula for geometric Ramsey numbers of cycles that were introduced by Károlyi et al. We refute a conjecture of Peters and Szekeres about a strengthening of the fa- mous Erd˝os-Szekeres conjecture to ordered hypergraphs. We obtain the exact formula for the minimum number of crossings in simple x-monotone drawings of complete graphs and provide a combinatorial characterization of these drawings in terms of colorings of ordered...
