This award supports travel for participants in the 4th Lake Michigan Workshop on Combinatorics and Graph Theory, held at the Department of Mathematics at the Western Michigan University on the weekend of April 15 and 16, 2017. The workshop will benefit graduate students and early-career researchers in the field of discrete mathematics, working at institutions in the area around Lake Michigan. It will be built around two sets of three tutorial lectures, focusing on classical techniques and results that the speakers feel are under-represented in typical graduate sequences, and on emerging techniques on which the speakers are particularly qualified to expound. There will also be some short talks by less established researchers. A conference web page is maintained at http://homepages.wmich.edu/~zyb1431/workshop2017/.Combinatorics and Graph Theory are two very active areas of research within the broader field of Discrete Mathematics, with important ties to disciplines such as statistical physics and network science. In the immediate vicinity of Lake Michigan there are a large number of researchers and students working on a variety of graph theoretical and combinatorial problems. This workshop will bring many of these workers together. Through tutorial lectures, short talks, an open problem session, and informal collaboration time, the workshop will train beginning researchers in important classical and emerging techniques of Combinatorics and Graph Theory. The tutorial speakers will be Tom Bohman, Carnegie Mellon University (who will speak on dynamic concentration in random greedy processes) and Penny Haxell, University of Waterloo (who will speak on edge coloring multigraphs).

该奖项支持参加 2017 年 4 月 15 日至 16 日周末在西密歇根大学数学系举行的第四届密歇根湖组合学和图论研讨会的参与者的旅行费用。该研讨会将使研究生和早期职业生涯受益离散数学领域的研究人员，在密歇根湖周边地区的机构工作。它将围绕两组三个辅导讲座展开，重点关注演讲者认为在典型研究生序列中代表性不足的经典技术和结果，以及演讲者特别有资格阐述的新兴技术。不太知名的研究人员也会进行一些简短的演讲。会议网页位于 http://homepages.wmich.edu/~zyb1431/workshop2017/。组合学和图论是更广泛的离散数学领域中两个非常活跃的研究领域，与统计等学科有着重要的联系物理学和网络科学。在密歇根湖附近有大量研究人员和学生致力于各种图论和组合问题。这个研讨会将把许多这样的工人聚集在一起。通过辅导讲座、简短演讲、开放问题会议和非正式协作时间，研讨会将对组合学和图论的重要经典和新兴技术进行培训。教程演讲者将是卡内基梅隆大学的 Tom Bohman（他将就随机贪婪过程中的动态集中进行演讲）和滑铁卢大学的 Penny Haxell（他将就边缘着色多重图进行演讲）。
