鈥� a seminar of the Mathematical Center in Akademgorodok and the (IM SB RAS), the purpose of which is to give students a general idea of the areas of research carried out by scientists from the Novosibirsk Scientific Center, as well as Russia and the world. The peculiarity of the seminar is that the emphasis in the talks is on the accessibility of the presentation of the material to a wide circle of the mathematical community, and only then on the detailing of the mathematical content.
At the next Colloquium on March 23 at 4:30 pm Elena V. Konstantinova (Candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, Senior researcher of the Laboratory of Graph Theory IM SB RAS, Associate professor of the Chair of Theoretical Cybernetics of the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics of NSU) will give a talk "On error-correcting codes, mutations and Cayley graphs". The seminar will be held in room 417 of the IM SB RAS.
More details can be found on the website of the Mathematical Colloquium .In 2002鈥�2004 The Center for Interdisciplinary Research at the University of Bielefeld (Germany) provided scientists working in different countries and in different fields of knowledge - mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology - with the opportunity to find new problem statements, as well as ways to solve them within the framework of the "Information Transmission Theory and Combinatorics" project under the leadership of Rudolf F. Ahlswede. The project, among other things, was attended by such eminent scientists as Vladimir Levenshtein (Russia) and Alberto Apostolico (Italy and USA), both of whom are interested in combinatorics in words, but with different applications - in coding theory and bioinformatics, respectively. In the course of the report, I would like to talk about how some of the classic problems from these two areas of knowledge acquired a new sound on Cayley graphs, how error-correcting codes are related to gene mutations, and also what problems are still open in this field. areas.
