An edge of the complete graph $K_n$: an unordered, non-diagonal pair of vertices.
Instances For
The complete graph $K_n$ has $\binom{n}{2}$ edges.
edgesWithin n S is the set of edges of $K_n$ whose endpoints both lie in S.
Instances For
The vertex-set $S$ spans exactly $\binom{|S|}{2}$ edges in $K_n$.
Equivalence between Boolean labellings of $\alpha$ that are constantly $b$ on $s$ and arbitrary Boolean labellings of the complement $\{x : \alpha \mid x \notin s\}$.
Instances For
Counting Boolean labellings constrained to take value $b$ on a set $s$: there are exactly $2^{|\alpha| - |s|}$ such labellings.
The number of 2-colorings of $K_n$ that are constant of value $b$ on the edges inside $S$ is $2^{\binom{n}{2} - \binom{|S|}{2}}$.
From $2\binom{n}{k} < 2^{\binom{k}{2}}$ deduce $2\binom{n}{k} \cdot 2^{\binom{n}{2} - \binom{k}{2}} < 2^{\binom{n}{2}}$, which expresses that the expected number of monochromatic $k$-cliques is strictly less than the number of 2-colorings.
The simple graph on $[n]$ whose edges are those colored true by a given 2-coloring
c of $K_n$.
Instances For
If $S$ is a clique in coloringToGraph c, then every edge inside $S$ is colored
true by c.
If $S$ is a clique in the complement graph of coloringToGraph c, then every edge
inside $S$ is colored false by c.
(Erdős 1947, Ramsey lower bound) If $\binom{n}{k} \cdot 2^{1 - \binom{k}{2}} < 1$, then there exists a graph on $n$ vertices with no $k$-clique in $G$ or $G^c$, so $R(k, k) > n$.
