CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences -The Mutually Beneficial Relationship of Matrices and Graphs - Summer 2010

NSF-CMBS区域会议“矩阵和图的互惠关系”将于2010年7月12日至7月16日在爱荷华州立大学举行。首席演讲人理查德·布鲁尔迪是组合矩阵理论领域的创始人和持续领导者之一，发表了200多篇论文，也是一位获奖教师。会议将讨论矩阵和图之间的共生关系以及它们在纯数学和应用数学、科学和技术中共同发挥的重要作用。讨论的主题包括图的矩阵的特征值(邻接矩阵、拉普拉斯矩阵等)、有向图的特征值、竞赛、符号模式矩阵、A类(R，S)、矩阵多面体和全非负性。会议将为初级研究人员提供必要的背景知识，并让他们参与组合矩阵理论的研究合作。女性、代表性不足的少数民族、研究生、博士后助理、初级教职员工和本科院校教职员工将被特别招募参加。

An NSF-CMBS Regional Conference, "The Mutually Beneficial Relationship of Matrices and Graphs," will be held at Iowa State University July 12 - July 16, 2010. Richard Brualdi, the principal speaker, is one of the founders and continuing leaders of the area of Combinatorial Matrix Theory, author of more than 200 papers, and an award-winning teacher.The conference will discuss the symbiotic relationship between matrices and graphs and the significant role that they jointly play in pure and applied mathematics, science, and technology. Topics to be discussed include eigenvalues of matrices of graphs (adjacency matrix, Laplacian matrix, etc.), eigenvalues of digraphs, tournaments, sign pattern matrices, the class A(R,S), matrix polytopes, and total nonnegativity. The conference will equip beginning researchers with the necessary background and involve them in research collaborations in combinatorial matrix theory. Women, underrepresented minorities, graduate students, post-doctoral associates, junior faculty, and faculty at undergraduate colleges will be specifically recruited to participate.
