Extremal Combinatorics
Karen Gunderson (University of Manitoba) , Karen Meagher (University of Regina) , Venkata Raghu Tej Pantangi (University of Lethbridge)Jan 1, 2022 — Apr 30, 2022
About the course
We will be exploring topics in extremal combinatorics from problems for set systems to graph theory and hypergraphs. These include extremal results for chains and antichains, intersecting set systems, isoperimetric problems, extremal numbers for graphs, extremal properties of matchings, extremal numbers for small hypergraphs, graph eigenvalues, extremal problems for graph diameter, distance transitive graphs, and some extremal results from combinatorial matrix theory.
A more detailed list of topics is available in the preliminary syllabus.
