Workshop on Geometric Constraints: Materials, Graphs and Matroids, Rigidity and Packings
July 10 - 14, 2023, The Fields Institute
Description
This workshop will showcase advances related to the Fields thematic program on geometric constraint systems, framework rigidity and distance geometry. Particular topics of interest include the geometric and combinatorial rigidity and global rigidity of structures, distance geometry and semidefinite programming and applications, for example in soft matter physics and in protein conformation determination.
