Description: 

Permutations are fundamental mathematical objects that arise naturally in many areas of mathematics and science. Pattern avoidance is an important facet of the study of permutations. With this workshop we hope to bring together different researchers studying a different viewpoints of the same problem. We hope to bring together algebraic and combinatorial approaches to practical applications. Furthermore, we hope to promote collaboration in the Pacific Northwest, with the aim of making it a “hub” for combinatorial analysis.

 

The goal of the PPPW is for participants to collaborate face-to-face on a common research interest: pattern avoidance in permutations. It will be a two-day event mainly comprised of working sessions. Additionally, certain participants will deliver talks summarizing recent results.
