This award supports a four-day Conference in Discrete Geometry and Algebraic Combinatorics to be held from April 29 to May 2, 2019 in South Padre Island, TX. The conference, the 10th in a series, is devoted to a wide range of classical and modern problems in these active areas of mathematical research. The conferences bring together students and researchers in the region centered at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Due to the diverse composition of the student body, conference organizers expect to be able to attract a sizable fraction of attendees from among groups traditionally underrepresented in U.S. mathematics studies. The grant provides travel support for graduate students and early-career researchers, as well as non-local participants without other sources of support. Topics to be discussed at the conference include packings, coverings, and tilings; rigidity and flexibility; geometric graph theory; topological combinatorics; incidence structures; lattices and discrete groups; geometric set partitioning and transversals; optimal configurations; spherical and Euclidean designs; semidefinite and linear programming in coding theory and discrete geometry. More information is available at the conference website www.utrgv.edu/discgeo.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.

该奖项支持将于2019年4月29日至5月2日在德克萨斯州南帕德雷岛举行的为期四天的离散几何和代数组合学会议。这次会议是系列会议中的第十次，致力于讨论这些活跃的数学研究领域中的广泛的经典和现代问题。这些会议汇集了以德克萨斯大学格兰德河谷为中心的该地区的学生和研究人员。由于学生组成的多样性，会议组织者预计能够吸引相当一部分与会者，这些人来自美国数学研究中传统上代表性较低的群体。这笔赠款为研究生和职业生涯早期研究人员以及没有其他支助来源的非本地参与者提供旅行支助。会议将讨论的主题包括包装、覆盖和瓦片；刚性和灵活性；几何图论；拓扑组合学；关联结构；格子和离散群；几何集划分和横截面；最优配置；球面和欧几里德设计；编码理论和离散几何中的半定和线性规划。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网站www.ucgv.edu/disGeo.该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
