Combinatorics
Funds research on discrete structures — algebraic, enumerative, extremal, geometric and probabilistic combinatorics, and graph theory.
NSF's Combinatorics programme funds research on discrete structures.
The named branches are algebraic, enumerative, existential, extremal, geometric and probabilistic combinatorics, and graph theory sits inside that.
Conferences and workshops go through a separate solicitation. Proposals for them have to arrive at least six months before the event, and NSF asks for them to be in the same fiscal …
