• Sun Kim (김선), Two identities in Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook with Bessel function series

    Room 1401, Bldg. E6-1, KAIST

    On page 335 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan recorded without proofs two identities involving finite trigonometric sums and doubly infinite series of Bessel functions. We proved each of these identities under three different interpretations for the double series, and showed that they are intimately connected with the classical circle and divisor problems in number theory.

  • Tony Huynh, Stable sets in graphs with bounded odd cycle packing number

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    It is a classic result that the maximum weight stable set problem is efficiently solvable for bipartite graphs.  The recent bimodular algorithm of Artmann, Weismantel and Zenklusen shows that it is also efficiently solvable for graphs without two disjoint odd cycles.  The complexity of the stable set problem for graphs without $k$ disjoint odd cycles is

  • Ruth Luo, Induced Turán problems for hypergraphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $\mathcal H$ is an induced Berge $F$ if there exists a bijective mapping $f$ from the edges of $F$ to the hyperedges of $\mathcal H$ such that for all $xy \in E(F)$, $f(xy) \cap V(F) = \{x,y\}$. In this talk, we show asymptotics for the maximum number of

  • Frédéric Meunier, Topological bounds for graph representations over any field

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Haviv (European Journal of Combinatorics, 2019) has recently proved that some topological lower bounds on the chromatic number of graphs are also lower bounds on their orthogonality dimension over $\mathbb {R}$. We show that this holds actually for all known topological lower bounds and all fields. We also improve the topological bound he obtained for

  • Jakub Gajarský, First-order interpretations of bounded expansion classes

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter tractable over such graph classes. With the aim of generalizing such results to dense graphs, we introduce classes of graphs with structurally bounded expansion, defined as first-order interpretations of

  • Hong Liu, A proof of Mader’s conjecture on large clique subdivisions in $C_4$-free graphs

    Room 1401, Bldg. E6-1, KAIST

    Given any integers $s,t\geq 2$, we show there exists some $c=c(s,t)>0$ such that any $K_{s,t}$-free graph with average degree $d$ contains a subdivision of a clique with at least $cd^{\frac{1}{2}\frac{s}{s-1}}$ vertices. In particular, when $s=2$ this resolves in a strong sense the conjecture of Mader in 1999 that every $C_4$-free graph has a subdivision of

  • Attila Joó, Base partition for finitary-cofinitary matroid families

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Let ${\mathcal{M} = (M_i \colon i\in K)}$ be a finite or infinite family consisting of finitary and cofinitary matroids on a common ground set $E$. We prove the following Cantor-Bernstein-type result: if $E$ can be covered by sets ${(B_i \colon i\in K)}$ which are bases in the corresponding matroids and there are also pairwise disjoint

  • Jaiung Jun (전재웅), The Hall algebra of the category of matroids

    Room 1401, Bldg. E6-1, KAIST

    To an abelian category A satisfying certain finiteness conditions, one can associate an algebra H_A (the Hall algebra of A) which encodes the structures of the space of extensions between objects in A. For a non-additive setting, Dyckerhoff and Kapranov introduced the notion of proto-exact categories, as a non-additive generalization of an exact category, which

  • Sanjeeb Dash, Boolean decision rules via column generation

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    In many applications of machine learning, interpretable or explainable models for binary classification, such as decision trees or decision lists, are preferred over potentially more accurate but less interpretable models such as random forests or support vector machines. In this talk, we consider boolean decision rule sets (equivalent to boolean functions in disjunctive normal form)
