Chapter 4.3, Problem 27E

Let p 1 p 2 ....... p n + 1 denote the first n + 1 primes (in order). Prove that every number between p 1 p 2 ....... p n + 2 and p 1 p 2 ....... p n + 1 1 (inclusive) is composite. How does this show that there are gaps of arbitrary length in the sequence of primes?

how to construct the following same table?
The following is known. The complete graph K2t on an even number of vertices has a 1- factorization (equivalently, its edges can be colored with 2t - 1 colors so that the edges incident to each vertex are distinct). This implies that the complete graph K2t+1 on an odd number of vertices has a factorization into copies of tK2 + K₁ (a matching plus an isolated vertex). A group of 10 people wants to set up a 45 week tennis schedule playing doubles, each week, the players will form 5 pairs. One of the pairs will not play, the other 4 pairs will each play one doubles match, two of the pairs playing each other and the other two pairs playing each other. Set up a schedule with the following constraints: Each pair of players is a doubles team exactly 4 times; during those 4 matches they see each other player exactly once; no two doubles teams play each other more than once. (a) Find a schedule. Hint - think about breaking the 45 weeks into 9 blocks of 5 weeks. Use factorizations of complete…
. The two person game of slither is played on a graph. Players 1 and 2 take turns, building a path in the graph. To start, Player 1 picks a vertex. Player 2 then picks an edge incident to the vertex. Then, starting with Player 1, players alternate turns, picking a vertex not already selected that is adjacent to one of the ends of the path created so far. The first player who cannot select a vertex loses. (This happens when all neighbors of the end vertices of the path are on the path.) Prove that Player 2 has a winning strategy if the graph has a perfect matching and Player 1 has a winning strategy if the graph does not have a perfect matching. In each case describe a strategy for the winning player that guarantees that they will always be able to select a vertex. The strategy will be based on using a maximum matching to decide the next choice, and will, for one of the cases involve using the fact that maximality means no augmenting paths. Warning, the game slither is often described…
