    Funded Vistors

    Makoto Katori (Chuo University, Tokyo) visited Queen Mary (March-August 2001) and All Souls, University of Oxford (September, 2001-February, 2002). An overview paper entitled "Flow polynomials, Schur Polynomials and Discrete Orthogonal Polynomials'', M. Katori, D.K. Arrowsmith, J.W. Essam was produced connecting properties of friendly walkers, Young tableaux, random matrices, and the Bender-Knuth formula.

    Dr F.M. Bhatti (Lahore University of Management Sciences) visited QMUL and Professor John Essam of RHUL in in July 2009 and July 2010 under the London Mathematical Society Scheme 5.
