South-Central Combinatorics Conference

CombinaTexas 2016会议将于2016年5月7日至8日在德克萨斯州学院站的德克萨斯A M大学举行。会议将在周六和周日举行，以方便研究人员参加，并将有六个50分钟的全体演讲和一些贡献的会谈，每个20分钟长。预计2016年将有约50名与会者参加，并在平行会议上提供约20场演讲。CombinaTexas系列会议的目的是加强德克萨斯州及周边各州组合数学家的教育和研究氛围，增加该地区数学家之间的交流，并提供一个论坛，用于介绍和讨论组合数学领域的最新发展。自2000年德州农工大学举办第一届会议以来，几乎每年都在美国中南部的不同机构举行。CombinaTexas 2016是该系列的第十六届会议。会议将通过分发列表和相关会议网站进行宣传（会议网站是http://www.math.tamu.edu/conferences/combinatexas/，包括演讲者的标题和摘要）。会议将以广泛的组合研究为特色，包括代数组合学，枚举组合学，几何组合学，图论的广泛领域和各种应用。关于图论的特别会议将由全体发言人Neil Robertson教授和Guoli Ding教授主持。已确定的讲者为Bruno Benedetti教授（U迈阿密）、丁国立教授（LSU）、刘富教授（UC Davis）、Nicholas Loehr教授（Virginia Tech）、Neil Robertson教授（俄亥俄州）及Anne Shiu教授（Texas A M）。

The CombinaTexas 2016 conference will be held at Texas A&M University, College Station TX on May 7-8 2016. The conference will take place on Saturday and Sunday to make it easy for researchers to attend, and will feature six fifty minute plenary lectures and a number of contributed talks, each twenty minutes long. About 50 participants are anticipated in 2016, with about 20 contributed talks in parallel sessions. The aim of the CombinaTexas conference series is to enhance the educational and research atmosphere of combinatorialists in Texas and the surrounding states, increase communication between mathematicians of the region, and provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the most recent developments in the field of Combinatorics. Ever since Texas A&M University hosted the first conference in 2000, it has been held almost every year at different institutions in the South Central United States. CombinaTexas 2016 is the sixteenth conference in this series. The conference will be publicized using distribution lists and on related conference websites (a conference website is at http://www.math.tamu.edu/conferences/combinatexas/ including titles and abstracts of the speakers).The conference will feature a broad selection of combinatorial research, including Algebraic Combinatorics, Enumerative Combinatorics, Geometric Combinatorics, a wide range of areas in Graph Theory, and various applications. A Special Session on Graph Theory will be led by plenary speakers Professors Neil Robertson and Guoli Ding. The confirmed plenary speakers are Professor Bruno Benedetti (U Miami), Professor Guoli Ding (LSU), Professor Fu Liu (UC Davis), Professor Nicholas Loehr (Virginia Tech), Professor Neil Robertson (Ohio State) and Professor Anne Shiu (Texas A&M).
