LMU-SU workshop on Random Discrete Structures

As part of a collaboration between Ludwig Maximillian University of Munich and Stellenbosch University, the Mathematics Division will host a workshop titled "Random Discrete Structures".

Background

In the late 1950s, Erdős and Rényi pioneered the concept of random graphs, using advanced probability theory not only to analyse random events but also as a powerful tool to prove the existence of complex mathematical objects. Since then, the field has expanded rapidly, incorporating other random discrete structures and finding far-reaching applications in many areas, such as network science, computer science, statistical physics, and more. Although relatively young, the field has emerged as one of the central and most active areas of mathematics over the past few decades.

Objectives of the workshop:

• Launch joint research programme
• Develop sustainable and long-term collaboration
• Mentor emerging and young researchers

The visitors from LMU are Konstantinos Panagiotou (Random graphs from restricted classes); Tamas Makai (Enumeration of regular multipartite hypergraphs); Julian Becker (Universal graphs for trees); Julius Hallmann (Dispersion on Random Graphs)
