Conference on Combinatorics

in honour of Walter Deuber's 60th birthday

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, October 7th-8th 2002

The meeting consisted of the following talks:

Martin Aigner (Freie Universität Berlin): Two colors and more,

Peter Gritzmann (Technische Universität München): On the approximation of convex bodies by polytopes and its application in optimization,

Hanno Lefmann (Technische Universität Chemnitz): Partition regular systems of equations,

Jaroslav Nesetril (Karls-Universität, Prag): Ramsey Classes and Categories,

Vojtech Rödl (Emory University, Atlanta): Ramsey type problems,

Vera Sós (Ungarische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Budapest): Amenability and paradoxicality in groups, graphs, and algebras,

Ernst Specker (ETH Zürich): Modular counting and substitution of structures,

Joel Spencer (New York University): Some combinatorial games,

William T. Trotter (Arizona State University, Tempe): Graphs and posets - recent results und

Ingo Wegener (Universität Dortmund): Combinatorics, probability, and the analysis of evolutionary algorithms

• Schedule
• Contact

Programme Coordination: Hans Jürgen Prömel und Bernd Voigt

To mark the occasion, there will be a special issue of the journal Combinatorics, Probability and Computing devoted to the memory of Walter Deuber (Guest editor: Hans Jürgen Prömel). Contributions are welcome and should be sent to Hans Jürgen Prömel. They will be refereed subject to the usual high standards of the journal. The deadline for submissions is the 31st of December 2002.

The conference was preceded by the Symposium Diskrete Mathematik 2002, which took place at the TU Dresden from the 3rd to the 5th of October.
