Presentation

The aim of this CIMPA school will be to familiarise graduate students and young researchers with the field of  enumerative and analytic combinatorics,  and to show its many connections to other areas,  especially computer science.  The courses  range from introductory to  more advanced levels. The introductory courses  will  lay the groundwork  by discussing the  basic  concepts  (such as generating  functions  and  q-series)  and  techniques  (various  enumeration techniques  and  analytic  methods  such  as  singularity  analysis).  The more advanced courses  will  build on these and discuss  various  more specialised topics,  related to  random graphs  and trees,  automata  and the  analysis  of algorithms. These  topics  are  connected  in  various  ways,  not  only methodologically.

Official language of the school: English
