Formal Power Series and Algebraic Combinatorics: An International Combinatorics Conference

研究者与亚利桑那州立大学共同主办了第13届正式幂级数与代数组合国际会议（FPSAC'01）。这一系列持续的会议汇集了来自组合学和理论计算机科学各个领域的研究人员，并将他们与纯数学、应用数学和物理等相关学科的领先科学家联系起来。2001年会议的重点是代数和枚举组合学，再次强调与相关领域的跨学科联系。主题包括:形式幂级数和枚举（例如，物理中的枚举问题），代数和枚举（例如，表示理论中的组合方法，关联方案），拓扑和几何组合（例如，超平面的排列，Helly和tverberg型定理，有向阵），概率方法（例如，Rodl方法的扩展和改进，随机算法），posset和图论（例如，相关和排序），组合方法（相关的代数方面），极值组合（例如，用于确定极值对象的结构特性的代数方法）。

The investigator together with Arizona State University is hosting theThirteenth International conference titled Formal Power Series andAlgebraic Combinatorics (FPSAC'01). This continuing series ofconferences bring together researchers from various areas ofcombinatorics and theoretical computer science and links them withleading scientists from allied disciplines in pure mathematics, appliedmathematics and physics. The focus of the 2001 conference is onalgebraic and enumerative combinatorics, again with emphasis oninterdisciplinary links to allied fields.Topics include: formal power series and enumeration (e.g., enumerativeproblems in physics), algebra and enumeration (e.g., combinatorialmethods in representation theory, association schemes), topological andgeometric combinatorics (e.g., arrangements of hyperplanes, Helly andTverberg type theorems, oriented matroids), probabilistic methods (e.g.,extensions and refinements of Rodl method, randomized algorithms), posetand graph theory (e.g., correlation and sorting, combinatorial approachesto the algebraic aspects of correlation), extremal combinatorics (e.g.,algebraic methods used to determine structural properties of extremalobjects).
