57th Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory & Computing

March 2-6, 2026

Special Sessions

Topic:  Domination

Organizers:  Dr. Sarah Heuss, 
                      Dr. Anne Sinko, Collegeof Saint Benedict and Saint John's University

This special session focuses on all aspects of domination theory, including related parameters. We invite contributions exploring theoretical developments, algorithmic approaches, historical perspectives, and applications across various classes of graphs. This session aims to foster joy, collaboration, and stimulate new directions in domination research.

Lightning Talks/Open Problem Session
Organizers:  Stephen Locke (Florida Atlantic University) and Richard Low (San Jose State University)

All conference attendees are welcomed to attend, listen and/or present. Interested participants will give a 5-minute presentation (with only three slides) on an open problem that they are currently working on. Because of the “Lightning Talk” format, no Q/A would occur during the session. Further discussions between the participants can occur after the session. The length of the entire session would be one hour (+ epsilon) long.  For more information, please send an email of inquiry to richard.low@sjsu.edu .   Read more!
