ILAS 2020, Galway, Ireland, June 22-26, 2020.



Linear algebra is an essential tool in the study of designs and codes: the Bruck-Ryser-Chowla theorem uses invariants of quadratic forms to give the best known non-existence results for designs. Delsarte's theory of association schemes and linear programming bounds is central in the study of coding theory. This mini-symposium will bring together researchers in design theory and coding theory to discuss old and new results in the field with an emphasis on linear algebraic techniques.
