|
Information about the 2008 program is given below.
Talks by visiting scholars:
- July 16th: Joshua Knox, Morehead State University
Department of Mathematics: The perfect social
network
- July 23rd: Prof. Jerrold Griggs, University of South
Carolina Department of Mathematics: Minimum span graph
labellings with separation conditions
- August 1st: Final presentations by REU participants. The
complete schedule of talks is available here. Abstracts are
now available here! Here are links to the presentation files themselves:
- Maxx Cho: The algebraic compatibility of Riemannian operators voice-leading properties (This file was too large to upload; please write to me if you would like a copy of this presentation.)
- Chelsy Croson: From cycles to wheels: a beginning looks at homomorphisms and color-criticality
- Daniel Franz: The average connectivity of graphs of automorphisms of Z*p
- Betsy Katz: Random generation of multigraphs with geographical attachment, part I (This file was too large to upload; please write to me if you would like a copy of this presentation.)
- Thomas Mahoney: The utility of graphs with L(2,1)-labelings
- Gregory Marcil: The construction of closed hyperbolic tilings
- Colleen McCarthy: Random generation of multigraphs with geographical attachment, part II
- Sylvia Naples: The search for an upper bound on the number of graceful labelings for a path with n edges
