On the history of Borsuk and Nelson-Erdos-Hadwiger classical problems and recent results for lower bounds of Borsuk and chromatic numbers in Euclidean spaces

Abstract: We describe the evolution of Borsuk and Nelson-Erdos-Hadwiger problems and discuss the combinatorial method that gives new lower bounds for Borsuk's and chromatic numbers of Euclidean spaces.
