Sunflower Showdown Sunflower Showdown The Sunflower Showdown is the series of athletic contests between Kansas State University and the University of Kansas athletic programs, most notably football and men's basketball. The name is derived from the official nickname for the state of Kansas: the Sunflower State. The two schools compete each year for the Governor's Cup in football. The football series dates back to 1902, and has been played every year since 1911, making it the sixth-longest active series in NCAA college football. The University of Kansas built a large advantage in the series by 1923, and leads the overall series 64–47–5
Sunflower (mathematics) sunflower lemma, stating that if formula_40 and formula_41 are positive integers then a collection of formula_42 sets of cardinality at most formula_41 contains a sunflower with more than formula_40 sets. The sunflower conjecture is one of several variations of the conjecture of that the factor of formula_45 can be replaced by formula_46 for some constant formula_47. For formula_48 this is now known to be true, with constant formula_49. Sunflower (mathematics) In mathematics, a sunflower or formula_1-system is a collection of sets whose pairwise intersection is constant. This constant intersection is called the kernel of the sunflower. The main research question
