[Turkmath:2671] general seminar

[burcu.temur]

Dear colleagues, 

You are cordially invited to the general seminar
organized by the Department of Mathematics, Atılım University.

Our
speaker is TÜRKER BIYIKOĞLU. 

The title of his talk is "GRAPH ENTROPY,
DEGREE ASSORTATIVITY, AND HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES IN NETWORKS". 

You
can find the abstract of his talk below. 

Abstract: One of the main
challenges underlying the recent interest in complex networks is to
relate the function to the structure. Many different measures have been
proposed as the relevant quantity for characterizing networks, each one
typically capturing only some particular aspect of the problem. 

I will
establish rigorous relations between several major network properties,
based on ideas from diverse fields. Among them are the concept of
(graph) entropy from information theory that measures the complexity of
certain dynamical systems, a breadth-first search algorithm from
computer science, Randi'c index introduced to graph theory from
chemistry, degree assortativity of social (networks) interaction
patterns and spectral radius of a graph . 

We will see that we can tie
seemingly unrelated concepts together for a better understanding of
complex networks. 

This is a joint work with Fatihcan Atay, Bilkent
University. 

DATE: NOVEMBER 22, 2017 

TIME: 15:40 

PLACE: FEF 404

With my best regards, 

Burcu Gülmez Temür
