DISCRETE MATH SEMINAR
2:00-3:00 PM Tuesday in 351 Avery
SPEAKER: Nate Axvig, UNL
TITLE: Some Aspects of Cycle Codes
ABSTRACT: Given a simple graph G with no vertices of degree 1,
one can use the cycle structure of G to define a linear code. We discuss
some characteristics of cycle codes which are relevant to various decoding algorithms.
