Title: Diagonal method and tree strategies

Speaker:  Valentina Harizanov, GWU

Abstract: We will continue with more sophisticated diagonal arguments in computability theory and how they can be presented on a tree.

Special Colloquium-Connectivity and structure in matroids

Wednesday, 2/15/2017, 4:00pm - 11:59pm

Title: Connectivity and structure in matroids

Speaker: Stefan van Zwam, Louisiana State University

Special Colloquium

Wednesday, 2/15/2017, 4:00pm - 11:59pm

Title: Connectivity and structure in matroids

Speaker: Stefan van Zwam, Louisiana State University

Abstract: A general theme in matroid structure theory is that highly connected matroids exhibit more structure than matroids with low-order separations. We will discuss several examples of this phenomenon, as well as an application to the theory of error-correcting codes.
