Third Party Funding

Heisenberg project "Principles of combinatorial algorithms" (DFG project 522790373) 2023-2028

In this project, we tackle several long-standing and fundamental problems at the interface of mathematics and computer science. Specifically, the project centers around the following topics:

  • Efficient algorithms for generating combinatorial objects
  • Reconfiguration problems, Gray codes
  • Lovász’ conjecture on Hamilton paths in vertex-transitive graphs
  • Partially ordered sets (symmetric chain decompositions)
  • Discrete and combinatorial geometry (rectangulations, non-crossing matchings, Venn diagrams)
  • Algebraic combinatorics (lattice congruences, polytopes, quotientopes)
  • Connections to combinatorial optimization on 0/1-polytopes
