Meta-Heuristic Search and Square Erickson Matrices

Résumé

A Ramsey theory problem, that can be seen as a 2 dimensional extension of the Van der Waerden theorem, was posed by Martin J. Erickson in his book [1]: "find the minimum n such that if the lattice points of [n]×[n] are two-colored, there exist four points of one color lying on the vertices of a square with sides parallel to the axes". This was solved recently by Bacher and Eliahou in 2009 [2], who showed that n = 15. In this paper we tackle a derived version of this problem, searching for the minimum n that forces the existence of a monochromatic [3] × [3] subgrid of [n] × [n] of the form {i, i + t, i + 2t} × {j, j +t, j +2t}. We use meta-heuristics on this open problem to find instances of 2-colorations without monochromatic [3] × [3] subgrid of the above form, setting a lower bound on n. In particular we found such a binary square grid of size 662, implying that n > 662.
