Caratheodory Rank of affine semigroups

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Pierre Dueck, UC Davis
Location: 1147 MSB
Start time: Thu, Feb 8 2007, 11:03AM

The Caratheodory Rank of an affine semigroup is the maximum representation length among all elements of the semigroup. We'll discuss known bounds on CR, special examples, and some open questions on CR.
