  • Constant Approximating k-Clique is W[1]-hard

    Speaker: Bingkai Lin(Nanjing University) Time: 10:00-11:00 (Time in Beijing) April 20, 2021 (Tuesday) VooVmeeting: ZOOM ID: 467 156 1455 Password: 图灵机被提出的年份（4位） Bilibili Live: http://live.bilibili.com/22528138 Abstract: Deciding whether a graph contains a ‍‍-Clique is a well-known NP‍‍-hard problem. One approach to dealing with NP‍‍-hard problem is approximation algorithm. However, assuming NP P ‍‍, no polynomial time […]

  • Mathematical Principles of Information Sciences, II: Mathematical Theory of Intuitive Reasoning

    Speaker: Angsheng Li(Beihang University) Time: 14:00-15:00 (Time in Beijing) 18:00-19:00 (Time in Auckland) April 9, 2021 (Friday) Venue: B1-501, Main Building Abstract: Started at Hilbert’s 1900 program of axiomatizing mathematics, in 1930s, mathematicians including Gödel proposed the definition of “proof” and established the subject of mathematical logic, and more importantly, Turing 1936 proposed a mathematical […]

  • An Experimental Study of the Feedback Arc Set Problem

  • Mathematical Principles of Information Sciences, I: The Laws of Information

    Speaker: Angsheng Li(Beihang University) Time: 11:00-12:00(Time in Beijing) 15:00-16:00(Time in Auckland) April 8, 2021 (Thursday) Venue: Coffee Beanery (宾诺咖啡) Abstract: Shannon 1945 and 1948 started the mathematical studies of cryptography and of communication, respectively. In 1945,Shannon proposed an information theoretical protocol for data security, leading to the mathematical theory of data security. In 1948, Shannon […]

  • How fast can we solve NP-complete problems?

    Speaker: Mingyu Xiao(University of Electronic Science and Technology of China) Host Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University Time: 2021-03-22 16:00-2021-03-22 17:00 Address: Tsinghua University FIT1-222 Abstract: Under the hypothesis P != NP, NP-complete problems cannot be solved in polynomial time. Under ETH, the SAT problem (the first NP-complete problem) cannot be solved in sub-exponential […]
