AMMA 2024: Abstract Methods in Multivariate Algorithmics
AMMA 2024 is now postponed to 2025 due to international changes in the organizing committee
About
The Abstract Methods in Multivariate Algorithmics (AMMA) is an international workshop bringing together two mathematical communities: (1) researchers in parameterized (multivariate) complexity theory and (2) researchers in applied topology and category theory. The two communities share many core goals such as understanding compositional systems and compositional algorithms and the systematic confinement of emergent complexity (such as combinatorial explosion). The workshop will consist of a blend of invited and contributed talks as well as tutorials on parameterized complexity and applied category theory aiming to bridge the mathematical and linguistic gap between the two communities.
The topics may include but are not limited to:
Sheaves and dynamic programming
Well-quasi-ordering and encountered-instance algorithmic frameworks beyond worst-case analysis
Universal obstructions in graph structural width metrics and a general theory of such metrics
Abstract approaches to second-order Myhill-Nerode congruences and beyond
Diagram-completion paradigms in parameterized complexity such as solution diversity,
Transfer learning and dynamic input
General theories of purposeful kernelization
Parameterizing on quantization
Inductive gradients in parameterized algorithms
Problem-specific well quasi-ordering and functorial approaches to parameterized complexity classification
Abstract views of input normal forms such as graphs as lineal topologies
Abstract models of computation appropriate to truly linear FPT (O(n) + f(k)) algorithmics
Abstract models of graphs arising from data points plus metric knobs, and their natural decompositions.
