[Submission]

Submission is through the EasyChair conference system, by using the link
below. The submission process requires registration to create an EasyChair
account prior to submission.

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpm2025

[Submission format]

The authors should submit an extended abstract not exceeding 12
single-spaced pages on A4 paper, excluding the title page (containing
title, authors, affiliations, e-mail addresses, a short abstract, and
keywords) and the references. The authors are required to use the LaTeX
style file supplied by Dagstuhl (LIPIcs). Papers must be submitted as a
single file in PDF format.

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication in
the final version - for example details of proofs - may be placed in a
clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page limit. The program
code of experimental papers should be made public, with reasonable
documentation, such that the PC may evaluate replicability of experimental
results.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work and surveys of important results. At the time the extended
abstract is submitted to CPM, and for the entire review period, the paper
(or essentially the same paper) should not be under

review by any other conference with published proceedings or by a
scientific journal.

At least one author of an accepted paper is expected to present the paper
at the conference as a registered participant. The conference will be held

[DMANET] Shoham Letzter's online talk announcement

We are happy to announce the online talk given by Shoham Letzter
(University College London) at the Discrete Mathematics seminar, KIT,
Germany.
https://www.math.kit.edu/iag6/edu/agdiscrmath2024w/

*Title:* Pancyclicity of highly connected graphs.
*Abstract:* A well known result due to Erdős and Chvatál (1972) asserts
that if the vertex connectivity of a graph is at least as large as its
independence number, then the graph has a Hamilton cycle. We extend this by
showing that if the graph has sufficiently many vertices and its vertex
connectivity is strictly larger than the independence number, then the
graph is pancyclic, meaning that it has a cycle of length l for every l
between 3 and the order of the graph. This proves a conjecture of Jackson
and Ordaz (1990) for large graphs, and improves upon a recent result of
Draganić, Munhá-Correia and Sudakov.

The seminar will take place on Zoom on Thursday, February 6 at 14:00 CET.
