In additive number theory, Kemnitz's conjecture states that every set of lattice points in the plane has a large subset whose centroid is also a lattice point. It was proved independently in the autumn of 2003 by Christian Reiher and Carlos di Fiore. The exact formulation of this conjecture is as follows: :Let be a natural number and a set of 4''n'' − 3 lattice points in plane. Then there exists a subset with points such that the centroid of all points from is also a lattice point. Kemnitz's conjecture was formulated in 1983 by Arnfried Kemnitz as a generalization of the Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv theorem, an analogous one-dimensional result stating that every 2''n'' − 1 integers have a subset of size ''n'' whose average is an integer. In 2000, Lajos Rónyai proved a weakened form of Kemnitz's conjecture for sets with 4''n'' − 2 lattice points. Then, in 2003, Christian Reiher proved the full conjecture using the Chevalley–Warning theorem. ==References== * * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kemnitz's conjecture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
