[DMANET] Invitation: Workshop Phase Transitions in Discrete Structures

*PHASE TRANSITIONS IN DISCRETE STRUCTURES*
Workshop

25 - 29 July 2016,
Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany)

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers at the junction
of probability, combinatorics, physics and computer science. The scope
encompasses random constraint satisfaction problems, statistical
inference, sampling and counting problems as well as message passing
algorithms and other related questions. Since the early 2000's, in all
of these areas research has been stimulated by statistical physics work
on disordered systems such as spin glasses. The non-rigorous but highly
sophisticated methods developed in this context led to insights that
inspired rigorous proof techniques applicable to problems in the
aforementioned fields. We hope that the workshop will encourage this
ongoing and fruitful process.
