Pursuit-evasion on Graphs Trent Marbach, Toronto Metropolitan University The study of pursuit-evasion on graphs looks at games played between two adversaries, with one player tasked with alluding capture from the other on the graph. We will describe these types of

Induced subgraphs and treewidth Speaker: Sophie Spirkl, University of Waterloo Abstract: Treewidth is a measure of the complexity of a graph and has both structural and algorithmic consequences. While results of Robertson and Seymour characterize which minors appear in graphs

Title: How do we use graphs to transmit quantum information? Time: 3.30pm, Atlantic time, (1:30, CDT) Wednesday Sept. 18 Speaker: Hermie Monterde, University of Manitoba Abstract: In this talk, a graph $G$ represents a quantum spin network (a networking of

Recolouring Graphs: Decompositions, A Dichotomy Theorem and Frozen   Colourings Speaker: Kathie Cameron, Wilfrid Laurier University A k-colouring of a graph G is an assignment of at most k colours to the vertices of a graph so that the ends of each edge of the graph

The Martin Invariant and Other Results on the Interlace Polynomials Josephine Reynes, University of Waterloo There are many well studied graph polynomials, but this talk will focus on the Martin polynomial and the interlace polynomial. Specifically, this talk will look

Speaker #1: Peter Collier, Dalhousie University Title #1: Zero Forcing on Twisted Hypercubes Abstract #1: The hypercube stands out as a compelling and versatile structure that extends the geometric notion of a cube into higher dimensions. We study the twisted hypercube

On the two table case of the directed Oberwolfach problem Speaker: Alice Lacaze-Masmonteil, University of Regina A directed variant of the famous Oberwolfach problem, the directed Oberwolfach problem considers the following scenario. Given n people seated at t round tables

Speaker: Iain Beaton, Acadia University Title: Reconfiguring minimal dominating sets under a generalization of token sliding Abstract: A dominating set S in a graph is a subset of vertices such that every vertex is either in S or adjacent to
