Dr. Benjamin Jany (TU Eindhoven)
Bounds and field size for locally recoverable codes
* Monday 13 May 2024,   14:15,   M2 (M233)
In the last decade, Locally Recoverable Codes (LRC) have been a critical topic in communication and distributed storage. In addition to the minimum distance, dimension and length of a code, LRCs also consider the locality parameter, i.e. the minimum number of entries needed to recover a given entry for any codeword. The parameters of LRCs are subject to a general Singleton bound and codes achieving the bound are called optimal LRCs. Constructions are known when the underlying field size of the code is larger than the length of the code. However, still little is known about the existence of optimal LRCs over small underlying field sizes. In this talk, I will show how we established new bounds that depend on locality and the field size of code using a duality theory of LRCs and the combinatorial structure of the code. This talk is based on joint work with A. Gruica and A. Ravagnani.

The Service Rate Region Polytope
* Tuesday 14 May 2024,   15:15,   M1 (M232)
In distributed data storage, information is distributed across multiple servers with redundancy, in such a way that multiple users can access it at the same time. The access requests that a distributed data storage system can support are described by a convex polytope, called the service rate region of the system. This talk is about the properties of the service rate region, and about how the algebra of the system determines the geometry of the corresponding polytope.

Representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra
Tuesday 28 May 2024,   10:15,   M3 (M234)
The reflection equation was introduced in relation to quantum integrable systems with boundary condition and is closely related to the Yang-Baxter equation. The reflection equation algebra was in turn introduced to allow the algebraic study of solutions of the reflection equation, similar to the connection between quantum groups and the Yang-Baxter equation. We will describe the basic properties of the reflection equation algebra and explain the classification of its bounded *-representations. This is based on joint work with Kenny De Commer.

On lattices applied to coding for reliable and secure communications
Monday 03 June 2024,   13:15,   M2 (M233)
This talk aims to present a general approach to some lattice applications in communications emphasizing topics we have been working on recently as well others of interest. Those are related to spherical codes, index coding, multilevel coding/ decoding, Construction Pi-A from Hurwitz quaternions, twisted embeddings in lattice based cryptography and federated learning.

Optimization - A first look (2x45min)
Thursday 06 June 2024,   14:15,   M2 (M233)
In this seminar, we will revisit various key areas of mathematical optimization. Starting from linear optimization and classical solution approaches exploiting the polyhedral feasible sets, we will continue to mixed-integer linear programming. Here, solution approaches from linear programming can be transferred in the context of cutting-plane and branch-and-bound methods striving towards integral polyhedra. As a special case of mixed-integer linear programs, we consider combinatorial optimization. Classical combinatorial optimization problems contain both polynomially solvable problems such as matchings and minimum spanning trees as well as many famous NP-hard problems such as the traveling salesperson problem and maximum cut. As a second generalization of linear programming, we consider semidefinite optimization. Here, we see how combinatorial optimization problems can be approximated by semidefinite programs and have a look at interior-point-based solution approaches.
