Problem Garden

The problems submitted by GRWC participants in their applications are used to start research collaborations at the workshop. After the collaborations have had time to start and build initial results, all problem statements of the participants are made public in this Problem Garden.

Notes:

A problem with a * at the end corresponds to a paper generated by GRWC group, as listed on our Research Papers page.
A problem with a ** at the end corresponds to a paper from a GRWC group that is being actively worked. Please contact Combinatorics.Workshop@gmail.com before starting work on these problems.
