Revision of Finding subsets front page from Fri, 02/01/2009 - 19:10

Quick description

This page contains links to articles that are about techniques for finding subsets with given properties of sets such as \mathbb{N}, \mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}^2, the complete graph on n vertices, the discrete cube, or the set of all subsets of \mathbb{N}. It is not about finding structured subsets such as subgroups or subspaces, so the techniques have a combinatorial flavour.
