Conference on Graph Decompositions at Michigan Technological University

该奖项为将于2018年8月9日至11日在密歇根理工大学校园举行的第四届年度KliakHandler图形分解会议的与会者提供资金支持。这次会议的目的是促进数学科学界成员之间的研究活动和合作。这次会议的重点是图形分解领域。图分解问题经常出现在图论、设计理论和代数领域，并在通信、优化和算法中得到应用。会议还将包括一个名为“日常组合学”的特别会议，重点讨论高中阶段的组合学。一位对数学教育感兴趣的组合学专家将组织这次会议，当地的高中教师将被邀请参加。会议的网站地址是http://kliak.mtu.edu/This奖，反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides funds to support expenses for participants of the 4th Annual Kliakhandler Conference on Graph Decompositions, which will be held on August 9-11, 2018 on the campus of Michigan Technological University. The purpose of this conference is to stimulate research activity and collaboration between members of the mathematical sciences community. The conference is focused in the area of graph decompositions. Graph decomposition problems regularly appear in the fields of graph theory, design theory, and algebra and have applications to communication, optimization, and algorithms. The conference will also include a special session titled "Everyday Combinatorics", which will focus on combinatorics at the high school level. A combinatorics specialist with an interest in math education will organize the session, and local high school teachers will be invited to attend. The website address for the conference is http://kliak.mtu.edu/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
