[신간의 별자리x] 우리/미술, 그리고 ‘슬픔의 박물관’

We will review some of the major results in random graphs and some of the more challenging open problems. We will cover algorithmic and structural questions. We will touch on newer models, including those related to the WWW.

Random graphs

Swarm robotics is an approach to collective robotics that takes inspiration from the self-organized behaviors of social animals. Through simple rules and local interactions, swarm robotics aims at designing robust, scalable, and flexible collective behaviors for the coordination of large numbers of robots. In this paper, we analyze the literature from the point of view of swarm engineering: we focus mainly on ideas and concepts that contribute to the advancement of swarm robotics as an engineering field and that could be relevant to tackle real-world applications. Swarm engineering is an emerging discipline that aims at defining systematic and well founded procedures for modeling, designing, realizing, verifying, validating, operating, and maintaining a swarm robotics system. We propose two taxonomies: in the first taxonomy, we classify works that deal with design and analysis methods; in the second taxonomy, we classify works according to the collective behavior studied. We conclude with a discussion of the current limits of swarm robotics as an engineering discipline and with suggestions for future research directions.

Graph Coloring Problems

: Significant progress has been made with solution of location problems and in preprocessing and decomposition for discrete optimization. There has also been research on the application of techniques from combinational optimization to nonlinear problems.

Let denote the maximum number of disjoint bases in a matroid . For a connected graph , let , where is the cycle matroid of . The well-known spanning tree packing theorem of Nash-Williams and Tutte characterizes graphs with . Edmonds generalizes this theorem to matroids. In [1] and [2], for a matroid with , elements with the property that have been characterized in terms of matroid invariants such as strength and -partitions. In this paper, we consider matroids with , and determine the minimum of , where is a matroid that contains as a restriction with both and . This minimum is expressed as a function of certain invariants of , as well as a min-max formula. These are applied to imply former results of Haas [3] and of Liu et al. [4].
