PREFACE
The 1988 Cambridge Combinatorial Conference was held at Trinity College,
Cambridge, from 21 to 25 March 1988, under the auspices of the London
Mathematical Society, the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical
Statistics of Cambridge University and Trinity College, Cambridge. The financial
support from these institutions is gratefully acknowledged. The conference was in
honour of Professor Paul Erdiis on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday.
Thirty leading combinatorialists accepted the invitation to give talks at the
meeting. This volume consists of most of the papers they presented together with
some additional articles on closely related topics.
In organising the meeting, I received invaluable help from many people,
especially Graham Brightwell, Hugh Hind, Yoshiharu Kohayakawa, Imre
Leader, Jamie Radcliffe, Andrew Thomason, Jurek Wojciechowski and above all
my wife, Gabriella. It would have been impossible to run the conference without
their enthusiastic assistance.
Combinatorics has not been an established branch of mathematics for very
long: the last quarter of a century has seen an explosive growth in the subject.
This growth has been due in large part to the doyen of combinatorialists, Paul
Erdiis, who through his penetrating insight and insatiable curiosity has provided a
huge stimulus for the workers in the field, a great many of whom have
collaborated with him. All combinatorialists are vastly indebted to Paul Erd&
there is hardly any part of combinatorics that has not been greatly enriched by his
ideas. It is a pleasure to dedicate this volume to Paul Erd6s on the occasion of his
seventy-fifth birthday.
