Calculus on graphs and discrete boundary value problems

Have you ever wondered what a truss bridge and an arrangement of connected atoms have in common? At face value, not much.

...after all, they do not even share the same scale? But what if we start thinking in mathematical terms?

What if we start thinking a little bit more abstractly...?

We would then come to the realisation that the structure of both takes the form of a geometric realisation of a graph.

In this talk, Assistant Professor Costy Kodsi will be presenting a calculus on graphs that provides the language to express (discrete) boundary value problems capable of representing trusses or atomic configurations.

Following this, he will go through an important result relating to the existence and uniqueness of a solution for trusses.

The talk will be made as accessible as possible for all, and not just cater for the mathematical community.
