The workshop will take place in Cassis September 11-16.
The purpose of this workshop is to have a go at improving the bounds on the Shannon capacity of C7, the cycle of length 7. Several related problems will also be studied.
There will be one talk at the beginning of the workshop which summarizes the work done on the Shannon capacity. The rest of the time will be devoted to research.
Some Background
There is a discussion of the definition and how it relates to perfect graphs in the Book Perfect Graphs edited by Bruce Reed and Jorge Ramirez-Alfonsin.
The main paper in the area by Lovasz determining the capacity of C5 is: http://www.cs.elte.hu/~lovasz/scans/theta.pdf
We would like to bound the Shannon capacity of C7. See here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1504.01472.pdf and its references. Such as: http://www.ams.org/journals/proc/2003-131-11/S0002-9939-03-06495-5/S0002-9939-03-06495-5.pdf.
