Resource Allocation Problems in Large-Scale Networks

STCS Seminar

Speaker:

Abhishek Sinha

Organisers:

Time:

Tuesday, 21 September 2021, 16:00 to 17:15

Optimal resource allocation in networks gives rise to some of the most fundamental problems at the intersection of algorithms, stochastic processes, and learning.

Commuting Matrices and Multivariate Multiplicity

STCS Student Seminar

Speaker:

Anamay Tengse, TIFR

Organisers:

Eeshan Modak

Time:

Friday, 17 September 2021, 17:15 to 18:15

We know that for matrices A and B, AB is not the same as BA in general. But suppose B is a polynomial in A, like B = A^2 - 3A + I (note I = A^0). Then AB is indeed the same as BA.

Quasi-transitive tilings of the plane

STCS Seminar

Speaker:

Arun Maiti

Organisers:

Hariharan Narayanan

Time:

Tuesday, 7 September 2021, 16:00 to 17:00

Tiling of a surface is acted upon by its automorphism group. The tilings with single vertex orbit, the transitive tilings, are well studied since antiquity.

Linear Matroid Intersection is in Pseudo-deterministic NC

STCS Student Seminar

Speaker:

Sumanta Ghosh

Organisers:

Prerona Chatterjee

Time:

Friday, 3 September 2021, 17:15 to 18:15

A pseudo-deterministic NC algorithm for a search problem is an RNC algorithm that, for a given input, outputs a fixed solution with high probability.

The complexity of approximating Satisfiable CSPs

Raghavendra's famous result from 2008 fully characterizes the inapproximability of every maximum constraint satisfaction problem (Max-CSP). However, the result inherently loses perfect completeness.
