1st IMA Conference on Theoretical and Computational Discrete Mathematics


Programme

Discrete mathematics is a branch of the mathematical sciences which poses a wide range of challenging research problems and gives rise to important applications in other fields such as computer science, engineering, industry, business, finance and the physical/biological sciences. It is a dynamic subject in which techniques, theories and algorithms are drawn from many different areas, and it offers a diverse and stimulating environment for those whose work lies within it. This is a new area for IMA Conferences that the IMA is pleased to support.

The conference will showcase theoretical and computational advances in the general field of discrete mathematics. It is open to researchers working with mathematical structures and abstract constructs, and to those involved in the theory and practise of discrete algorithmic computing. Results which establish links between different areas of discrete mathematics are welcomed, as are applications and the development of new tools. The purpose of this event is to highlight progress in the field through the development of novel theories, methodologies, and applications accordingly, and to inspire future work.

Extended abstracts are solicited from areas including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Graph Theory
  • Network Visualisation
  • Combinatorics (Algebraic, Analytic, Enumerative, Extremal, Probabilistic, Geometric, Algorithmic)
  • Number Theory
  • Discrete Probability
  • Matroid Theory
  • Cryptography
  • Computer Science
  • Large-Scale Networks
  • Ordered Sets and Permutations
  • Designs
  • Topology
  • Information Processing
  • Discrete Mathematics of Data Mining
  • Optimization (Discrete, Combinatorial)
  • Theory and Applications of Sequences
  • Operations Research and Analytics

Participants had the opportunity to submit extended abstracts (3-6 pages in length) for publication in a special conference issue of the online journal ‘Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics’ (Elsevier). Please note that the publication of an extended abstract will NOT restrict the author(s) from publishing a full-length article on the same topic and with the same title in another journal (possibly with another publisher) provided that the original publication is sufficiently enhanced (i.e. approximately doubled in size). The special conference issue can be found: https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/electronic-notes-in-discrete-mathematics/vol/56

Such a meeting aims to assemble prominent and emerging researchers in discrete mathematics to present new findings and gain a broader snapshot of activity. It is proposed to have both plenary/invited talks and contributed talks, as well as a poster presence. We welcome the participation of graduate students and early career mathematicians, as well as more established academics.  The conference seeks to bring together colleagues from the many different arenas where discrete mathematics is developed and applied, and hopes to both encourage and foster personal collaborations as a result.
