Dear all,
this is a reminder for the next UnRAVeL survey lecture that takes place this *Thursday, July 8 at 4:30pm*.*Christina Büsing *will talk about *Robust Minimum Cost Flow Problem Under Consistent Flow Constraints*. Following the talk, UnRAVeL PhD student *Tabea Krabs* will give an informal summary of their doctoral studies within UnRAVeL.
*Abstract* The minimum cost flow problem is one of the best known problems in combinatorial optimization. Next to nice structural properties, many applications can be modeled via a minimum cost flow networks. In this talk we will extend this problem to include demand and supply uncertainty. For all demand realizations, however, we require that the flow value on an arc needs to be equal if it is included in the predetermined arc set given. The objective is to find feasible flows that satisfy the equal flow requirements while minimizing the maximum occurring cost among all demand realizations. We will provide structural results and prove e.g. that the Integral Flow Theorem does not hold anymore. Furthermore, we provide several complexity results and derive some polynomial solvable cases.
The event takes place on Zoom:

Since the event is open also to master's students, who may not receive this email, we would kindly appreciate if you could pass this invitation on.
We are looking forward to seeing many of you at the survey lecture.

Dear all,
part of the programme of the research training group UnRAVeL is a series of introductory lectures on the topics of „randomness“ and „uncertainty“ in UnRAVeL’s research thrusts algorithms and complexity, verification, logic and languages, and their application scenarios. Each lecture is delivered by one of the researchers involved in UnRAVeL. The main aim is to provide doctoral researchers as well as master students a broad overview of the subjects of UnRAVeL.
This year, 12 UnRAVeL professors will answer the following questions, based on one of their recent scientific results:
* How did you get to this result? * How did you come up with certain key ideas? * How did you cope with obstacles on the way? Which ideas you had did not work out?
Following these talks, PhD students will give an informal summary of their doctoral studies within UnRAVeL.
All interested doctoral researchers and master students are invited to attend the UnRAVeL lecture series 2021 and engage in discussions with researchers and doctoral students.

All events take place on *Thursdays from 16:30 to 18:00 on Zoom* https://rwth.zoom.us/j/96043715437?pwd=U0dRczkyQjRCY21abW13TDNmUHlhUT09
