Enumeration of discrete structures: algebraic, analytic, probabilistic and algorithmic methods for enriched planar graphs and planar maps

Brief summary

Recently the interest in planar maps and graphs has considerably increased, due to fundamental constructions by Schaeffer (bijections for planar maps in terms of enriched tree structures), and Giménez and Noy (generating function techniques joint with analytic tools). Our objective is to continue the lines of these achievements and explore their interactions with other domains, specially with computer science.

More precisely, the main goals of this project are to develop new tools to deal with open questions in the field, including the study of bipartite families of graphs, unlabelled families of graphs, and planar graphs with restricted vertex degrees, among other questions. In most of the cases, the interaction between the map enumeration domain and the algorithmic setting will be strongly explored.

The main techniques exploited in this project arise from the Analytic Combinatorics setting: that is, the combinatorial structure is translated into equations of generating functions, that can be studied by means of complex analytic methods, joint with probabilistic techniques.
