Jungho Ahn (안정호) gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on the almost linear kernel for packing and covering problems on nowhere dense classes of graphs
On November 8, 2022, Jungho Ahn (안정호) from KAIST and the IBS Discrete Mathematics Group gave a talk at the Discrete Math Seminar on a unified framework to create a polynomial-time preprocessing algorithm (kernel) for various packing and covering problems reducing the input instance to an equivalent instance of almost linear size on nowhere dense classes of graphs. The title of his talk was “Unified almost linear kernels for generalized covering and packing problems on nowhere dense classes“.
Welcome Suyun Jiang (江素云) from Jianghan University, a new visiting scholar in the IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group
The IBS discrete mathematics group welcomes Dr. Suyun Jiang (江素云), a new visiting scholar from Jianghan University, China. She is visiting the IBS extremal combinatorics and probability group for 21 months from November 4, 2022. She received her Ph.D. from Shandong University in China and is currently an assistant researcher in the School of Artificial Intelligence, Jianghan University, Wuhan, China.
The 2022 DIMAG-ECOPRO Joint Internal Workshop was held in Yeosu on October 31-November 3, 2022
The IBS Discrete Mathematics Group (DIMAG) had its third internal workshop with the new IBS Extremal Combinatorics and Probability Group (ECOPRO) at the Yeosu Expo UTOP Marina Hotel & Resort under the name “The 2022 DIMAG-ECOPRO Joint Internal Workshop” on October 31-November 3, 2022. Participants include almost all current members of DIMAG and ECOPRO, Minki Kim from GIST, Cheolwon Heo from Sungkyunkwan University, Eun-Kyung Cho from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and Semin Yoo from KIAS. Every participant presented open problems and had active discussions.
