19-June-2024

The Department of Mathematics of the School of Engineering organized a three-day International Conference on Graph Theory and its Applications from June 20–22, 2024, at Presidency University. The inauguration of the event was graced by key officials of Presidency University, including Pro Vice Chancellors Dr. M. Dhanamjaya and Dr. A. M. Surendra Kumar, Dr. Sameena Noor Ahmed Panali, Registrar, and Dr. Adbul Sharief, Dean, School of Engineering, who addressed the gathering during the inauguration ceremony.

Prof. Allan Lo, University of Birmingham, UK
Prof. Niranjan Balachandran, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai
Prof. Atsuhiro Nakamoto Yokohama National University, Japan
Prof. R. Balakrishnan, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli
Prof. Karl Magnus Heuer, Technical University of Denmark
Prof. K. Somasundaram, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore
Prof. Michael Drmota, Institute for Discrete Mathematics and Geometry at Vienna University of Technology, Austria
Prof. Deepa Sinha, South Asian University in New Delhi.

Over three days, the panelists discussed various topics related to graph theory and its applications. These included perfect 1-factorizations of graphs, distance magic graphs, counting cycles in planar graphs, polychromatic colorings of geometric and abstract hypergraphs, optimal chromatic bounds, distance, coloring, and projective geometries, graph theory applied in database problems, four-point condition matrices of edge weighted trees, Square-Difference Factor Absorbing Ideals of a Commutative Ring, Cycle Partition of Dense Regular Digraphs and Oriented Graphs, Optimal Chromatographic bounds, Generating theorems of quad angulations, The Alon-Tarsi number of a graph, even circuits in oriented matroids, List Coloring and Chromatic Choosability, Pattern Occurrence Counts in Random Planar Maps, and Spectral Analysis for a Signed Social Network.

The conference was attended by 100 participants from both India and abroad. During the paper presentations, 78 papers were selected from 144 submissions. These papers will be published in any two journals: Communications in Combinatorics and Optimization (CCO) and the AKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics.

The ICGTA three-day conference received sanctions of four lakhs from SERB, Govt. of India, and Fifty thousand from CSIR, Govt. of India.
