Summary: A
deep understanding of graphs and networks takes inspiration from many different branches of mathematics, ranging from discrete mathematics, spectral methods and optimization through to geometry and topology. This workshop aims to bring various of these areas
together in order both to interface with mathematical statistics, and to anticipate rich future areas of cross-fertilisation. Each of
the sessions over the two days will contain 2-3 talks, with all talks aimed to be accessible to a general mathematics audience. Plenty of time will be left on both days for convivial scientific discussion amongst the attendees.
Special sessions include:
· Distributed
optimization and control of networks
· Topology
and networks
· Random
Matrices and Graphs
Speakers include: Matthew
Kahle (Ohio State, USA), Yuliy Baryshnikov (U. Illinois, USA), Pavel Dlotko (Inria), Steve
Morse (Yale, USA), Angelia Nedich (U. Illinois, USA), Anders Rantzer (Lund University, Sweden), Julien Hendrickx (UC Louvain, Belgium) and Svante Janson (Uppsala University, Sweden). Additional speakers will be listed on the event
page as they are confirmed, and a fuller agenda
will be published closer to the time.
Registration: Please register
via Eventbrite. Registration costs £45 which grants admission to both days of the workshop, and includes lunch and daytime refreshments.
Best wishes
Ali, Patrick and Sofia
