4th International Conference on
Lattice Paths Combinatorics and Applications

Second Announcement - Call for Papers

July 8-10, 1998
University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria

This conference is dedicated to the memory of
G. Kreweras and T.V. Narayana
Our conference will be held also in honour of Prof. Germain Kreweras, one of the doyens of lattice paths combinatorics. He has already registered and planned to present a talk on A common determinantal introduction to Narayana numbers and Baxter numbers. However, Prof. Kreweras passed away on March 3, 1998.

We will remember Germain Kreweras very deeply.

Topics to be covered by the conference include:

    • lattice paths and boundaries
    • plane partitions
    • Young tableaux
    • q-calculus
    • orthogonal polynomials
    • random walk problems
    • nonparametric statistical inference
    • discrete distributions and urn models
    • queueing theory
    • analysis of algorithms
