<h4 style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;font-weight:normal">Circuits are fundamental topics in linear programming, matroid, and network theory. This workshop is on two intimately connected fields of
study: circuit augmentation schemes and circuit diameters. Circuit augmentation schemes generalize the Simplex method through iterative improving steps along circuits instead of edges. Circuit diameters relate to the number of steps of these augmentation schemes
in the same way combinatorial diameters relate to the Simplex method, and they serve as a proxy to study combinatorial diameters. In the past decade, major progress has been made in both areas. This workshop brings together leaders in the research community
and young researchers interested in the field.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal"><o:p></o:p></span></h4>
