Title: Applications of the entropy method
Speaker: | Michelle Delcourt |
Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract: In the second talk of our reading group on entropy and counting. Following Galvin's survey, we will focus on Friedgut and Kahn's determination of the maximum number of copies of a fixed graph that can appear in another graph on a fixed number of edges. If time permits, we also will examine Radhakrishnan's proof of Bregman's theorem on the maximum permanent of a 0-1 matrix with fixed row sums.

Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
