| Speaker: | Gora Adj |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract: After having defined the supersingular isogeny graph, in this second talk
Title: Hamilton cycles in cubic planar graphs
| Speaker: | Frantisek Kardos |
| Affiliation: | University of Bordeaux |
| Room: | MC 5479 |
Abstract: Tait conjectured in 1884 that each cubic planar graph contains a Hamilton cycle. Had the conjecture been true,
Title: Distributed coloring in planar graphs
| Speaker: | Marthe Bonamy |
| Affiliation: | University of Bordeaux |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
We are concerned with efficiently coloring sparse graphs in the distributed setting with as few colors as possible. According to the celebrated Four Color Theorem, planar graphs can be colored with at most 4 colors, and the proof gives a (sequential) quadratic algorithm finding such a coloring.
Title: Minimization of convex compositions
| Speaker: | Courtney Paquette |
| Affiliation: | Lehigh University |
| Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract:
Numerous optimization tasks can be posed as minimization of a finite convex function composed with a smooth map. Phase retrieval and matrix factorization problems are common examples.
Title: The price of connectivity for domination
| Speaker: | Paul Ouvrard |
| Affiliation: | University of Bordeaux |
| Room: | MC 5479 |
Abstract: The price of connectivity for dominating set in a graph G is the ratio between the minimum sizes of a connected dominating set and a dominating set of G.
Title: Two-level polytopes
| Speaker: | Kanstantsin Pashkovich |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
This talk is dedicated to two-level polytopes. On one side, two-level polytopes form a well structured family of polytopes.
Title: The Many Faces of Circulation Algebras
| Speaker: | Nick Olson-Harris |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract: The circulation algebra is a commutative graded algebra associated to a graph, introduced by Wagner in 1998 to study flows.
Title: Stretching drawings of graphs
| Speaker: | Alan Arroyo |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5479 |
Abstract: Given a drawing D of a graph (where vertices are dots in the plane and edges are arbitrary curves connecting some pairs of dots),
Title: The c2 invariant at p=2 by counting edge bipartitions
| Speaker: | Karen Yeats |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 5501 |
Abstract:
Since no one provided a visitor or volunteered for this week, I will explain how to prove a special case of a conjecture about the c2 invariant.
Title: Edge State Transfer
| Speaker: | Tina Chen |
| Affiliation: | University of Waterloo |
| Room: | MC 6486 |
Abstract: Most research about quantum state transfer on graphs use adjacency matrices as their Hamiltonians and investigate the transfers between single vertex states.
