Combinatorics
The Erdős-Szekeres Theorem states that any sequence of more than $$ab$$ distinct real numbers contains either an increasing subsequence of length $$a+1$$ or a decreasing subsequence of length $$b+1$$. This theorem is fundamental in combinatorics and establishes a connection between sequences and the existence of ordered subsequences, which has implications in various areas including Ramsey theory.
congrats on reading the definition of Erdős-Szekeres Theorem. now let's actually learn it.
