Schur's theorem

Schur's theorem In discrete mathematics, Schur's theorem is any of several theorems of the mathematician Issai Schur. In differential geometry, Schur's theorem is a theorem of Axel Schur. In functional analysis, Schur's theorem is often called Schur's property, also due to Issai Schur.

Schur's theorem ensures that S(c) is well-defined for every positive integer c. The numbers of the form S(c) are called Schur's number.

Folkman's theorem generalizes Schur's theorem by stating that there exist arbitrarily large sets of integers, all of whose nonempty sums belong to the same part.

Using this definition, the only known Schur numbers are S(n) = 2, 5, 14, 45, and 161 (OEIS: A030126) The proof that S(5) = 161 was announced in 2017 and took up 2 petabytes of space.[1][2] Combinatorics In combinatorics, Schur's theorem tells the number of ways for expressing a given number as a (non-negative, integer) linear combination of a fixed set of relatively prime numbers. In particular, if {displaystyle {a_{1},ldots ,a_{n}}} is a set of integers such that {displaystyle gcd(a_{1},ldots ,a_{n})=1} , the number of different tuples of non-negative integer numbers {displaystyle (c_{1},ldots ,c_{n})} such that {displaystyle x=c_{1}a_{1}+cdots +c_{n}a_{n}} when {displaystyle x} goes to infinity is: {displaystyle {frac {x^{n-1}}{(n-1)!a_{1}cdots a_{n}}}(1+o(1)).} As a result, for every set of relatively prime numbers {displaystyle {a_{1},ldots ,a_{n}}} there exists a value of {displaystyle x} such that every larger number is representable as a linear combination of {displaystyle {a_{1},ldots ,a_{n}}} in at least one way. This consequence of the theorem can be recast in a familiar context considering the problem of changing an amount using a set of coins. If the denominations of the coins are relatively prime numbers (such as 2 and 5) then any sufficiently large amount can be changed using only these coins. (See Coin problem.) Differential geometry In differential geometry, Schur's theorem compares the distance between the endpoints of a space curve {displaystyle C^{*}} to the distance between the endpoints of a corresponding plane curve {displaystyle C} of less curvature.

Suppose {displaystyle C(s)} is a plane curve with curvature {displaystyle kappa (s)} which makes a convex curve when closed by the chord connecting its endpoints, and {displaystyle C^{*}(s)} is a curve of the same length with curvature {displaystyle kappa ^{*}(s)} . Let {displaystyle d} denote the distance between the endpoints of {displaystyle C} and {displaystyle d^{*}} denote the distance between the endpoints of {displaystyle C^{*}} . If {displaystyle kappa ^{*}(s)leq kappa (s)} then {displaystyle d^{*}geq d} .

Schur's theorem is usually stated for {displaystyle C^{2}} curves, but John M. Sullivan has observed that Schur's theorem applies to curves of finite total curvature (the statement is slightly different).

Linear algebra Main article: Schur decomposition In linear algebra, Schur’s theorem is referred to as either the triangularization of a square matrix with complex entries, or of a square matrix with real entries and real eigenvalues.

Functional analysis In functional analysis and the study of Banach spaces, Schur's theorem, due to I. Schur, often refers to Schur's property, that for certain spaces, weak convergence implies convergence in the norm.

Number theory In number theory, Issai Schur showed in 1912 that for every nonconstant polynomial p(x) with integer coefficients, if S is the set of all nonzero values {displaystyle {begin{Bmatrix}p(n)neq 0:nin mathbb {N} end{Bmatrix}}} , then the set of primes that divide some member of S is infinite.
