Scope

By organizing this Seminar the Institute for Mathematics acknowledges the increasing influence of discrete structures, methods and algorithms in mathematics, particulary in connection with probability. Special emphasis is given to:

- combinatorial stochastic processes

- random trees

- branching processes and random walks in random environment

- probabilistic analysis of algorithms

 

Registration

There is no registration fee. For an informal registration please contact Nicole Götting.
