รถ IWOCA: International Workshop On Combinatorial Algorithms

Dear Readers,

This is a non-exhaustive list of open problems contributed by the IWOCA community, often but not necessarily at the open problem session of the IWOCA conference.

If you know of any results relevant to one of the problems, also partial ones, we would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know. Please contact one of the problem section editors (Yuqing Lin: Yuqing.Lin_at_newcastle.edu.au, or Zsuzsanna Lipták: zsuzsanna.liptak_at_univr.it). If you have started working on a problem and made some advances, you could consider contacting the contributor of the problem, possibly but not necessarily with view of cooperating with him or her. In any case, we ask you to cite the IWOCA open problems page (www.iwoca.org, Problems Section) as well as the name of the problem contributor, should your work result in a publication.

Finally, if you have any open problems you would like to present to the IWOCA community, please don't hesitate to contact us (Yuqing Lin: Yuqing.Lin _at_ newcastle.edu.au, or Zsuzsanna Lipták: zsuzsanna.liptak _at_ univr.it).
