However, the default installation does not work because it requires extra configuration on Perl. To make it worse, this …

## List of YouTube Channels for research talks on discrete mathematics

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many seminars are now held online. Many of them made a YouTube channel to post their videos. But it is very difficult to search for such videos. In this post, I’d like to share a few of them. Please suggest more in the comment. IBS Discrete Mathematics Group Department of …

## Big Congratulations to Bruno Courcelle for the first S. Barry Cooper Prize

“The 2020 S. Barry Cooper Prize is awarded to Bruno Courcelle for his work on the definability of graph properties in Monadic Second Order Logic, through a sequence of seminal papers and a book (joint with Joost Engelfriet). This forms an outstanding example of theory building, bringing together logic, computability, graph grammars, and various notions …

## A solution to the Particles Problem

Prof. Yuval Peres posted the following very interesting problem on his blog. Suppose there are n particles in the unit square. Initially one particle is awake and all others are sleeping. Each awake particle moves in the unit square at speed 1 in a direction you prescribe and wakes up any sleeping particle it encounters. The …
