Using the Borsuk-Ulam theorem [electronic resource] : lectures on topological methods in combinatorics and geometry / Jiří Matoušek ; written in cooperation with Anders Björner and Günter M. Ziegler.

"The "Kneser conjecture"--Posed by Martin Kneser in 1955 in the Jahresbericht der DMV -- is an innocent-looking problem about partitioning the k-subsets of an n-set into intersecting subfamilies. Its striking solution by L. Lovsz featured an unexpected use of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem,...
