The conference “Probability Methods in Discrete Mathematics” is a regular event and this year it was dedicated to the 90th anniversary of birth of the Soviet and Russia scholar, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Academician of the Russian Cryptography Academy and a co-founder of the “Discrete Mathematics” journal Valentin F. Kolchin. The scientist has significantly influenced the advancement of mathematical research in Karelia and contributed to the establishment of the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS.
The aim of the conference is to foster the development of modern probabilistic methods in discrete mathematics. The conference featured review lectures on V. F. Kolchin's main research areas and the impact of his results on the development of the theory of random mappings and random graphs. The participants discussed the latest advancements in the theory of random graphs and hypergraphs, the theory of branching processes, probabilistic combinatorics, game theory and stochastic optimization, statistical and simulation modeling.
Financial support for the event was provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education Russia grant for establishment and promotion of the World-class Mathematics Center Steklov Mathematical Institute RAS) and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
