Martin Ziegler, Quantitative Coding and Complexity Theory of Continuous Data

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Specifying a computational problem requires fixing encodings for input and output: encoding graphs as adjacency matrices, characters as integers, integers as bit strings, and vice versa. For such discrete data, the actual encoding is usually straightforward and/or complexity-theoretically inessential (up to polynomial time, say). But concerning continuous data, already real numbers naturally suggest various encodings with very different computational properties.

David Wood, Tree densities of sparse graph classes

Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

This talk considers the following question at the intersection of extremal and structural graph theory: What is the maximum number of copies of a fixed forest $T$ in an $n$-vertex graph in a graph class $\mathcal{G}$ as $n\to \infty$? I will answer this question for a variety of sparse graph classes $\mathcal{G}$. In particular, we show that the answer is

Minki Kim (김민기), Rainbow paths and rainbow matchings

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

We prove that if $n \geq 3$, then any family of $3n-3$ sets of matchings of size $n$ in any graph has a rainbow matching of size $n$. This improves on a previous result, in which $3n-3$ is replaced by $3n-2$. We also prove a "cooperative" generalization: for $t > 0$ and $n \geq 3$,

Kevin Hendrey, A unified half-integral Erdős-Pósa theorem for cycles in graphs labelled by multiple abelian groups

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Erdős and Pósa proved in 1965 that there is a duality between the maximum size of a packing of cycles and the minimum size of a vertex set hitting all cycles. Such a duality does not hold if we restrict to odd cycles.  However, in 1999, Reed proved an analogue for odd cycles by relaxing packing

Debsoumya Chakraborti, Some classical problems in graph saturation

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Graph saturation is one of the oldest areas of investigation in extremal combinatorics. A graph $G$ is called $F$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $F$, but the addition of any edge creates a copy of $F$. The function $\operatorname{sat}(n,F)$ is defined to be the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex

Se-Young Yun (윤세영), Regret in Online Recommendation Systems

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

We propose a theoretical analysis of recommendation systems in an online setting, where items are sequentially recommended to users over time. In each round, a user, randomly picked from a population of m users, requests a recommendation. The decision-maker observes the user and selects an item from a catalogue of n items. Importantly, an item

Yixin Cao (操宜新), Recognizing (unit) interval graphs by zigzag graph searches

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

Corneil, Olariu, and Stewart presented a recognition algorithm for interval graphs by six graph searches. Li and Wu simplified it to only four. The great simplicity of the latter algorithm is however eclipsed by the complicated and long proofs. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new and significantly shorter proof for

Hong Liu (刘鸿), Nested cycles with no geometric crossing

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

In 1975, Erdős asked the following question: what is the smallest function $f(n)$ for which all graphs with $n$ vertices and $f(n)$ edges contain two edge-disjoint cycles $C_1$ and $C_2$, such that the vertex set of $C_2$ is a subset of the vertex set of $C_1$ and their cyclic orderings of the vertices respect each

Édouard Bonnet, Twin-width and ordered binary structures

Zoom ID: 869 4632 6610 (ibsdimag)

The twin-width of a graph G can be defined as the least integer d such that there is a sequence of length |V(G)| of (strictly) coarser and coarser partitions of its vertex set V(G), and every part X of every partition P of the sequence has at most d other parts Y of P with

Casey Tompkins, 3-uniform hypergraphs avoiding a cycle of length four

Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

We show that that the maximum number of of edges in a $3$-uniform hypergraph without a Berge-cycle of length four is at most $(1+o(1)) \frac{n^{3/2}}{\sqrt{10}}$. This improves earlier estimates by Győri and Lemons and by Füredi and Özkahya. Joint work with Ergemlidze, Győri, Methuku, Salia.
