• Harry Richman, Distinguishing graphs with tropical Weierstrass weights

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    I will introduce a new structure on finite graphs, which takes the form of a labeling of the vertices by nonnegative integers (possibly repeated). This labeling is isomorphism invariant, and seems to reflect some mix of local and global structure of the graph. I will describe an algorithm for computing these labels, which uses a

  • Stefan Weltge, The relaxation complexity of the standard simplex is logarithmic

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    For a set $X$ of integer points, the relaxation complexity $\operatorname{rc}(X)$ is the smallest number of facets of any polyhedron P whose integer points are precisely those of X. In this paper, we focus on the case where X is the discrete standard simplex $\Delta_d = \{0, e_1, ..., e_d\}$. We show that $\operatorname{rc}(\Delta_d) =

  • 2026 Workshop on Topological Combinatorics

    GIST

    The 2026 Workshop on Topological Combinatorics will be held from June 28 to July 11, 2026 at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), located in Gwangju in the southwest of Republic of Korea.  The workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in applications of topology to combinatorics and related areas. This will be the

  • Ting-Wei Chao, The Oddtown Problem Modulo a Composite Number

    Room B332 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    A family of sets in $$ is called an $\ell$-Oddtown if the sizes of all sets are not divisible by $\ell$, but the sizes of pairwise intersections are divisible by $\ell$. The problem was completely solved when $\ell$ is a prime via an elegant linear algebraic method, showing that the family has size at most

  • 2026 Summer School on Combinatorics and Algorithms (2026 조합론 및 알고리즘 여름학교)

    Bldg. E11, KAIST

    The 2026 Summer School on Combinatorics and Algorithms is a venue for students and early-career researchers to learn selected topics in theoretical computer science and discrete mathematics. It will be a great opportunity for young and aspiring researchers to study topics which are important but not covered during the lectures in the university classes. Website:

  • 2026 Combinatorics Workshop (2026 조합론 학술대회)

    Konjiam Resort, EW Village, B2, Meeting Room OPUS2

    Combinatorics Workshop (조합론 학술대회) is an annual conference for researchers in combinatorics and related areas in Korea. It was started in 2004 by the Yonsei University BK21 Research Group. Since 2013, this workshop has been advised by the committee of discrete mathematics of the Korean Mathematical Society.
