Title of TalkExploration of Counter Examples of Balance Sets
AbstractWith large data sets, one might ask if substructure exists, and if so, how large should the data subset be in order to guarantee this substructure. We investigated data subsets of Zp × Zp which are on the boundary, just short of enough data to guarantee substructure, specifically categorizing the data subsets that don’t have substruc- ture. First by brute force checking, we determined the counter examples (graphs with no substructure) for Z5 × Z5. These exam- ples guided our search into Zp × Zp where p ≥ 7. From there, we proved there are four categories of counter examples that do not have a balanced subset in Zp × Zp.
