This quarter, we will read several chapters from the following book:
R. B. Bapat:
Graphs and Matrices, Springer-Verlag, 2010.
These subjects are becoming more and more important in the area of Applied and
Computational Harmonic Analysis, in particular, those related to data analysis
on graphs/networks and machine learning.
Any participant who actually makes a classroom presentation on a paper selected
from the following list will receive 2 credit units. The other participants
will receive 1 credit unit (attendance will be checked).
