A friend showed me a leetcode problem yesterday at the Recurse Center:

leetcode.com/problems/minimum-

Which led me to play for a bit on paper, then drafted a rough a visual toy:

codepen.io/fractalkitty/live/W

(I haven't actually done any leetcode problems because I often end up on paper and down rabbit holes)

Ok, someone more familiar with graph theory tell me how to compute a minimum weight perfect matching on a complete graph with even-number of vertices? Or at least point me to a resource?

It's all either left as an exercise to the reader, extremely complex algorithms (Blossom or something?), or weird libraries, where apparently if I use it on complex graphs it's not necessary, but they then point me to even more complex papers.

Thought I had it solved but now it's returning a matching that's too small.

A post of @11011110 has reminded me that (after a year and a half lurking here) it's never too late for me to toot and pin an intro here.

I am a Canadian mathematician in the Netherlands, and I have been based at the University of Amsterdam since 2022. I also have some rich and longstanding ties to the UK, France, and Japan.

My interests are somewhere in the nexus of Combinatorics, Probability, and Algorithms. Specifically, I like graph colouring, random graphs, and probabilistic/extremal combinatorics. I have an appreciation for randomised algorithms, graph structure theory, and discrete geometry.

Around 2020, I began taking a more active role in the community, especially in efforts towards improved fairness and openness in science. I am proud to be part of a team that founded the journal, Innovations in Graph Theory (igt.centre-mersenne.org/), that launched in 2023. (That is probably the main reason I joined mathstodon!) I have also been a coordinator since 2020 of the informal research network, A Sparse (Graphs) Coalition (sparse-graphs.mimuw.edu.pl/), devoted to online collaborative workshops. In 2024, I helped spearhead the MathOA Diamond Open Access Stimulus Fund (mathoa.org/diamond-open-access).

Until now, my posts have mostly been about scientific publishing and combinatorics.

Hey Mastodon! 👋 Here is our #introduction post: We are the Data Visualization Lab at Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. You can find more about our work here: vis.khoury.northeastern.edu/

We'd love to be connected to more folks and labs in the realms of #DataVisualization #HCI #xAI #AR #VR #VisualAnalytics #PhD #Research

Our lab has been applying visualization to domain areas like #accessibility #UAVs #Genetics #Privacy #Pedagogy #Networks #GraphTheory

Say hi!

Hello!

After a few days figuring out Mastodon with the help of the folks at QOTO, I will formally introduce myself in order to pin this in my profile :)

My name is Abde and I am a computer scientist. My main domain is #NumericalCalculus and #ParallelComputing. I am currently a PhD student at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (#belgium) and working on porting numerical solvers for simulations on the GPU using #CUDA. You may find my first paper here: etna.math.kent.edu/vol.55.2022

Other research interests are #complexity #computability #graphtheory #geometry #discretemath

I also work as a #VirtualReality developer. My current professional interests are #simulations #numericalcalculus #geometry. We also contribute in several #opensource projects. Most of my work is done in #Unity3D, so feel free to ask any questions!

As a hobby I do some #gamedev and also #musicproduction. I will share some snippets of what I do here, but for now I am focusing in crafting my art by producing #housemusic in #bitwig.

Please enjoy! I am not the most active but I am looking to build my Mastodon network, so feel free to follow and I will follow back :)

What kind of #network do we want for #Mastodon (and #Fediverse in general)?

The answer may vary depending on users and communities, but let's discuss where the new follow-recommendation tool of Mastodon 3.5 leads us (github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p).

The evolution of a network where new users preferentially follow existing influencers can be modeled as a Price/BA network.

You end up with few large influencers.
Honestly, I'm not a fan...
