Combinatorial Systems (wheels)

The layout of integrated circuits on chips and boards is a complex task. A major portion of the research in the area of design automation has been devoted to the development of efficient and easy-to-use systems that support circuit layout. There are two aspects of building a layout system that are difficult. One is the combinatorial aspect and the other is the systems aspect. The combinatorial aspect is that most of the optimization problems that have to be solved during integrated-circuit layout are intractable.

Combinatorial (or discrete) optimization is one of the most active fields in the interface of operations research, computer science, and applied math­ ematics. Combinatorial optimization problems arise in various applications, including communications network design, VLSI design, machine vision, air­ line crew scheduling, corporate planning, computer-aided design and man­ ufacturing, database query design, cellular telephone frequency assignment, constraint directed reasoning, and computational biology. Furthermore, combinatorial optimization problems occur in many diverse areas such as linear and integer programming, graph theory, artificial intelligence, and number theory.

This proceedings volume gathers together selected works from the 2018 “Asymptotic, Algebraic and Geometric Aspects of Integrable Systems” workshop that was held at TSIMF Yau Mathematical Sciences Center in Hainan China, honoring Nalini Joshi on her 60th birthday. The papers cover recent advances in asymptotic, algebraic and geometric methods in the study of discrete integrable systems.
