Abstract

The scholarship recipient will follow this plan to acquire specific knowledge in the area of ¿¿asymptotic combinatorics, with an emphasis on extreme problems and the probabilistic method. It is also expected that this scholarship recipient will begin to have close contact with topics of optimization, convex geometry, and quantum theory, participating in the activities of this thematic project.This scholarship will promote the training of a student with a protected profile to participate in specific research activities of our thematic project at the undergraduate level.
