Lawrence Harper

Dedicated to the memory of Lawrence H. Harper

Lawrence H. "Larry" Harper, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics was a giant in the area of combinatorics and its relationship with computing.

He wrote a number of important articles including “On the Bandwidth of a Hamming Graph” and the monograph “Global Methods for Combinatorial Isoperimetric Problems” with Cambridge University Press. Professor Harper was remembered by his colleagues as a "folk hero in combinatorics."

He spoke at last year’s AI workshop on the different tools for managing graph problems including the 43 <= Ramsey Number R(5,5) <= 48, which he was working up to his time of passing in October 2023.
