TITLE: Approximating Traveling Salesman Problems using
Algebraic Techniques <br>
<br>
ABSTRACT: I will give an overview of the recent
progress in our understanding of traveling salesman
problems as well as an introduction to the underlying
algebraic techniques. In particular, I will talk about
real-stable polynomials and their new and exciting
applications in design and analysis of approximation
algorithms.<br>
