The lab explores algorithms for distributed and parallel systems through mathematics.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the essence of what makes problems hard, through mathematics.
The Izumi Lab researches the design and analysis of algorithms for a wide range of computational models, centered on distributed and parallel systems.
By building mathematical models of computational targets and analyzing them theoretically, the lab explores the essence of what makes problems difficult and aims to apply it to designing better algorithms.
Theoretical computer science, the field the lab works in, emphasizes uncovering the principles of how various problems can be solved computationally, in a form that can be mathematically proved.
As a rule, students assigned to the lab research topics based on what interests them.
Key terms

ResearchResearch themes
From the standpoint of theoretical computer science, the lab formulates the phenomena and problems that computers are meant to handle as mathematical models, devises efficient algorithms and analyzes them theoretically, and clarifies the limits of computational performance. The lab names its areas of strength as distributed and parallel computing, the mathematics of autonomous distributed robot swarms, graph algorithms, and algorithms for computationally hard problems.
