Event Details:

Donald Knuth’s Annual Xmas Tree Lectures are back.

This year Dr. Knuth will present on Twintrees, Baxter Permutations, and Floorplans.

Three fascinating concepts, which seem at first to be entirely unrelated to each other, are in fact in one-to-one correspondence, via three beautiful algorithms. One of them is a data structure involving a pair of binary trees, introduced by Serge Dulucq and Olivier Guibert in 1998; another is a class of permutations introduced by Glen Baxter in 1964; and the third is a geometric understanding of the decomposition of rectangles into rectangles, introduced by Hiroshi Murata, Kunihiro Fujiyoshi, Tomomi Watanabe, and Yoji Kajitani in 1997.

Please join us at NVIDIA auditorium on Wednesday, December 7, 2022 at 5 pm.
