Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This advanced course in spectral graph theory covers a wide range of topics, including fundamental spectral properties of graphs (how certain matrices encode graph structure), random walks on graphs, isoperimetric problems, and graph algorithms.Graphs play a crucial role in both mathematics and applications. They can be used to model social networks, computer networks or protein interactions. But more importantly, they also serve as a basis for designing efficient algorithms, even for continuous ones. This course will explore these perspectives.A strong background in linear algebra and analysis is highly recommended, along with familiarity with probability theory and optimization.While we may occasionally use Julia for computations, prior experience with the language is not required.
Assessment and permitted materials
Oral exam on the entire course material at the end of the course, no materials permitted.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Answering questions and solving problems in a satisfactory manner.
Examination topics
Entire course material.
