05.03.2012 Lecturer: dr. Marko Orel Title: The mathematics in computed tomography (CT) Abstract: In 1979, the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology was awarded jointly to Allan McLeod Cormack and Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, the two pioneering scientistengineers primarily…
27.02.2012 Lecturer: dr. Klavdija Kutnar Title: Cayley snarks Abstract: In this talk I will discuss the well-known conjecture that there are no snarks amongst Cayley graphs. I will present an innovative approach in solving this conjecture combining the theory of…
20.02.2012 Lecturer: dr. Vito Vitrih Title: Pythagorean-hodograph curves Abstract: Polynomial Pythagorean-hodograph curves (PH curves) have been introduced in 1990 by Farouki and Sakkalis. They are characterized by the property that their parametric speed, i.e., the derivative of the arc…
06.02.2012 Lecturer: Hiroki Koike Title: Isomorphic Tetravalent cyclic Haar graphs Abstract: Let S be a subset of the cyclic group Zn. The cyclic Haar graph H(Zn,S) is the bipartite graph with vertex set two copies of the cyclic group and…
30.01.2012 Lecturer: Alexander Vasilyev Title: Introduction to Sage. Examples of application to Graph theory Abstract: Sage (previously SAGE) is mathematical software with features covering many aspects of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, number theory, and calculus. In this talk…
23.01.2012 Lecturer: Samed Bajrić Title: Almost Perfect Nonlinear functions Abstract: In this talk we present some basic properties of Almost Perfect Nonlinear (APN) functions over finite field of characteristic 2 and investigate some open problems. We provide the characterizations of…
16.01.2012 Lecturer: dr. Gyorgy Kiss (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest). Title: Semiarcs and semiovals in PG(2, q) Abstract : Ovals, k-arcs and semiovals of finite projective planes are not only interesting geometric structures, but they have important applications to coding theory and…
09.01.2012 Lecturer: dr. Gabriel Verret Title: Constructing a census of small cubic vertex-transitive graphs. Abstract: We describe some recent theoretical results and various tricks which allowed us to compute a census of all cubic vertex-transitive graphs of order at most 1280.…
19.12.2011 Lecturer: dr. Primož Potočnik (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) Title: Group amalgams and locally arc-transitive graphs. Abstract: A group amalgam is a quintuple (L,f,B,g,R) where L,B and R are abstract groups and f:B->L and g:B->R are group monomorphisms. Given a…
28.11.2011 Lecturer: dr. Štefko Miklavič Title: Automorphism groups of the “Rose-window” graphs which are not edge-transitive. Download the slides from the talk here: DOWNLOAD!
