Combinatorics is a fundamental mathematical discipline which focuses on the study of discrete objects and their properties. The current workshop brought together researchers from diverse fields such as Extremal and ...

This is the report on the Oberwolfach workshop on Combinatorics, held 6–12 January 2008. Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics studying families of mainly, but not exclusively discrete (i.e. finite or countable) structures, ...

The main theme of this workshop was the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics and theoretical computer science. Although these methods have been around for decades, they are being refined all the time: they are ...

One of the exciting phenomena in mathematics in recent years has been the widespread and surprisingly effective use of probabilistic methods in diverse areas. The probabilistic point of view has turned out to be

The main theme of this workshop was the use of probabilistic methods in combinatorics and theoretical computer science. This area is evolving extremely quickly, with the introduction of powerful new methods and the development ...

Computational topology is a young, emerging field of mathematics that seeks out practical algorithmic methods for solving complex and fundamental problems in geometry and topology. It draws on a wide variety of techniques ...

This was the ninth Oberwolfach Workshop on Computational Group Theory. It demonstrated the deep and interesting interactions between theoretical results and powerful practical algorithms in Computational Group Theory. ...

From a mathematical perspective, optimization is the science of proving inequalities. In this sense, computational optimization is a method for computer-assisted proofs. Conic (linear) optimization is ...

The quon algebra is an approach to particle statistics in order to provide a theory in which the Pauli exclusion principle and Bose statistics are violated by a small amount. The quons are particles whose annihilation and ...

This was the fifth workshop on mathematical and statistical methods on the transmission of infectious diseases. Building on epidemiologic models which were the subject of earlier workshops, this workshop concentrated on ...
