Objectives:
The project concerns research on the frontier between discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Discrete mathematics is an established mathematical discipline and is playing an increasing role in various fields of mathematics. Many real-life problems can be formulated using the language of discrete mathematics. Deep mathematics is hidden behind practical problems such as devising optimal schedules, or efficient routing of data packets through the internet. These problems also suggest that besides problems typical to pure mathematics (such as existence of a solution) one often seeks their efficient algorithmic counterparts (algorithm design).
The project goals are the following:
