Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Combinatorics Conference

Arizona State University, Scottsdale AZ

Investigators

Abstract

The investigator together with Arizona State University is hosting the Thirteenth International conference titled Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC'01). This continuing series of conferences bring together researchers from various areas of combinatorics and theoretical computer science and links them with leading scientists from allied disciplines in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and physics. The focus of the 2001 conference is on algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, again with emphasis on interdisciplinary links to allied fields. Topics include: formal power series and enumeration (e.g., enumerative problems in physics), algebra and enumeration (e.g., combinatorial methods in representation theory, association schemes), topological and geometric combinatorics (e.g., arrangements of hyperplanes, Helly and Tverberg type theorems, oriented matroids), probabilistic methods (e.g., extensions and refinements of Rodl method, randomized algorithms), poset and graph theory (e.g., correlation and sorting, combinatorial approaches to the algebraic aspects of correlation), extremal combinatorics (e.g., algebraic methods used to determine structural properties of extremal objects).
