Guangzhou Discrete Mathematics Seminar


Guangzhou Discrete Mathematics Seminar is a seminar series which covers all aspects of discrete mathematics, and started at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, in Fall 2017. The seminars take place frequently during term time - approximately once every two weeks, at School of Mathematics, Sun Yat-sen University. The usual meeting room and day of the week for the seminars are generally fixed for a particular semester, but these are expected to vary from one semester to another.

The seminars aim to promote the presence of discrete mathematics in Guangzhou, as well as to strengthen the discrete mathematics community there. Everyone is welcome to attend. If anyone is interested in giving a seminar talk, or for general enquiries, please contact one of the organisers.

Rong Wu (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China) Graphs with girth 9 and without longer odd holes are 3-colorable Poster Slides

For a number l ≥ 2, let Gl denote the family of graphs which have girth 2l + 1 and have no odd hole with length greater than 2l + 1. Wu, Xu and Xu conjectured that every graph in ∪l≥2 Gl is 3-colorable. Chudnovsky et al., Wu et al., and Chen showed that every graph in G2, G3 and ∪l≥5 Gl is 3-colorable respectively. In this paper, we prove that every graph in G4 is 3-colorable. This confirms Wu, Xu and Xu's conjecture.
