Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Discrete Mathematics: Ams Special Session on Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Applied Discrete Mathematics, ... San Antonio, Tx

The January 2015 meeting in San Antonio, Texas generated 11 papers on applying algebraic and geometric methods in applied discrete mathematics. The topics include the sum of squares basis pursuit with linear and second order cone programming, representation theory of the symmetric group in voting theory and game theory, geometric combinatorics and computational molecular biology: branching polytopes for RNA sequences, the neural network coding of natural images with applications to pure mathematics, proving Tucker's Lemma with a volume argument, and a survey of discrete methods in (algebraic) statistics for networks.
