DIMACS/DIMATIA/Renyi Working Group on Algebraic and Geometric Methods in Combinatorics Working Group Meetings: First Meeting Date: December 2 -6, 2002 Location: Samalova chata, Nova Louka, Czech Republic Second Meeting Date: April 6 - 7, 2004 Location: Alfred Renyi Institute, Budapest, Hungary Third Meeting Date: TBD Location: TBD Organizers: Gyula Katona , Alfred Renyi Institute, ohkatona@renyi.hu , Alfred Renyi Institute Attila Sali , Alfred Renyi Institute DIMACS/DIMATIA/Renyi Tripartite Partnership Working Group Agenda: This working group will concentrate on two broad areas of research: algebraic methods involving the study of homomorphisms of graphs, with special emphasis on problems arising from statistical physics, and problems of combinatorial geometry. The intersection of combinatorics and statistical physics has been an area of great activity over the past few years, fertilized by an exchange not only of techniques but of objectives. This interconnection was featured in a joint DIMACS-DIMATIA workshop on this topic. (See http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/Workshops/Graph-Morph/

In 1944 he was forced to a Fascist Labour Camp but somehow managed to escape. He obtained false papers and hid for six months avoiding capture. During this time his parents were held prisoners in the Budapest ghetto. Alfréd rescued them with an extreme act of bravery:- Alfréd got hold of a soldier's uniform, walked into the ghetto, and marched his parents out. ... It requires familiarity with the circumstances to appreciate the skill and courage needed to perform these feats. At the end of World War II, Rényi obtained a Ph.D. at Szeged under F Riesz for work on Cauchy Fourier series. He was taught by Fejér at Budapest, then he went to Russia and worked with

The Cook Book Recipe for the week of February 26 - March 3 Ultimate Bacon: The Giant Component of a Complex Network Let's take a break from our usual fare to discuss an amusing contest that I entered last weekend. Apparently, sometime within the past few years, MTV talk show host Jon Stewart devised a parlor game in which contestants are to link any movie star to Kevin Bacon by a chain of films that share performers. Thus we imagine actors as vertices in a large network, with edges between any two who have been in a movie together. The goal is to find the path of minimal length connecting x to Kevin Bacon, that length then being the Bacon number , which we denote here as B(x) . Quite a cult has grown up around this pastime, as witnessed by more than a dozen web pages now devoted to the game. Now Brett Tjaden and Glenn Wasson at the University of Virginia have automated the calculation of B(x) at their Web site, The Oracle of Bacon . Their program, which makes use of the marvelous Internet Movie Database (IMDB), will compute the Bacon number of any performer you care to specify within a few seconds. Hard-core cultists seem threatened by the power of the Oracle, but the rest of us welcome this automation of what can be an arduous evaluation. For instance
