Surveys in combinatorics 2019 / edited by Allan Lo (University of Birmingham) [and three others].

This volume contains eight survey articles based on the invited lectures given at the 27th British Combinatorial Conference, held at the University of Birmingham in July 2019. This biennial conference is a well-established international event, with speakers from around the world. The volume provides...
