• 2019 Combinatorics Workshop

    Hotel Skypark, Songdo, Incheon, Korea (송도 스카이파크호텔)

    The annual conference on Combinatorics Workshop (조합론 학술대회) began in 2004 by the Yonsei University BK21 Research Group. This year it will take place in Songdo, Incheon, August 13-15, 2019. Due to the capacity (50 persons) of the place, we are able to limit your registration. In principle, registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Mihyun Kang (강미현), The genus of a random graph and the fragile genus property

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    In this talk we shall discuss how quickly the genus of the Erdős-Rényi random graph grows as the number of edges increases and how dramatically a small number of random edges can increase the genus of a randomly perturbed graph. (Joint work with Chris Dowden and Michael Krivelevich)

  • Kevin Hendrey, The minimum connectivity forcing forest minors in large graphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Given a graph $G$, we define $\textrm{ex}_c(G)$ to be the minimum value of $t$ for which there exists a constant $N(t,G)$ such that every $t$-connected graph with at least $N(t,G)$ vertices contains $G$ as a minor. The value of $\textrm{ex}_c(G)$ is known to be tied to the vertex cover number $\tau(G)$, and in fact $\tau(G)\leq

  • Cory Palmer, A survey of Turán-type subgraph counting problems

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Let $F$ and $H$ be graphs. The subgraph counting function $\operatorname{ex}(n,H,F)$ is defined as the maximum possible number of subgraphs $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. This function is a direct generalization of the Turán function as $\operatorname{ex}(n,F)=\operatorname{ex}(n,K_2,F)$. The systematic study of $\operatorname{ex}(n,H,F)$ was initiated by Alon and Shikhelman in 2016 who generalized several classical

  • Casey Tompkins, Extremal problems for Berge hypergraphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    Given a graph $G$, there are several natural hypergraph families one can define. Among the least restrictive is the family $BG$ of so-called Berge copies of the graph $G$. In this talk, we discuss Turán problems for families $BG$ in $r$-uniform hypergraphs for various graphs $G$. In particular, we are interested in general results in

  • Alexandr V. Kostochka, Reconstructing graphs from smaller subgraphs

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    A graph or graph property is $\ell$-reconstructible if it is determined by the multiset of all subgraphs obtained by deleting $\ell$ vertices. Apart from the famous Graph Reconstruction Conjecture, Kelly conjectured in 1957 that for each $\ell\in\mathbb N$, there is an integer $n=n(\ell)$ such that every graph with at least $n$ vertices is $\ell$-reconstructible. We show that for

  • Zi-Xia Song (宋梓霞), Ramsey numbers of cycles under Gallai colorings

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    For a graph $H$ and an integer $k\ge1$, the $k$-color Ramsey number $R_k(H)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. Let $C_m$ denote the cycle on $m\ge4 $ vertices. For odd cycles, Bondy and Erd\H{o}s in 1973 conjectured that

  • Joonkyung Lee (이준경), On some properties of graph norms

    Room B232 IBS (기초과학연구원)

    For a graph $H$, its homomorphism density in graphs naturally extends to the space of two-variable symmetric functions $W$ in $L^p$, $p\geq e(H)$, denoted by $t_H(W)$. One may then define corresponding functionals $\|W\|_{H}:=|t_H(W)|^{1/e(H)}$ and $\|W\|_{r(H)}:=t_H(|W|)^{1/e(H)}$ and say that $H$ is (semi-)norming if $\|.\|_{H}$ is a (semi-)norm and that $H$ is weakly norming if $\|.\|_{r(H)}$ is
