Abstract for Research Report Expander graphs have played significant roles in various areas of mathematics and information science, such as combinatorics, number theory, group theory, cryptography and machine learning (ML). In particular constructing families of expander graph is a central open problem.
The main aim of this project is to establish a new method for constructing families of expander graphs. This project also aims to exploit new applications of the constructions to both of mathematics and information science as well. Through this project we expect to make new connections and collaborations between various areas of mathematics and information science.
In this year, we aim to discuss new applications of expander graphs to learning theory for example, as well as several on-going joint research projects launched by the last research project.
