Ramseyan variations on symmetric subsequences
A theorem of Dekking in the combinatorics of words implies that there exists an injective order-preserving transformation \(f : {\{0,1,\ldots,n\}}\rightarrow {\{0,1,\ldots,2n\}}\) with the restriction \(f(i+1)\le f(i) + 2\) such that for every 5-term arithmetic progression \(P\) its image \(f(P)\)...

In this paper we consider symmetric sets in place of arithmetic progressions and prove lower and upper bounds for the maximum \(M=M(n)\) such that every \(f\) as above preserves the symmetry of at least one symmetric set \(S\subseteq\{0,1,\ldots,n\}\) with \(|S|\ge M\). |
