About
This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the various mathematical and algorithmic tools that underlie dramatic recent developments in fast algorithms for diagonally dominant linear systems and their subsequent application to fast algorithms for combinatorial problems. In particular, this will include researchers from diverse areas of theory including graph sparsification, metric geometry of graphs, data structures and numerical linear algebra.
