A short list of talks that I gave.
I did not add the slides of the presentations because it is better to read the articles on my page "Publications".
- Diviser n'est pas régner ?
Présentation aux Journées Graphes et Algorithmes (J.G.A.) 2023, Université Lyon 1, november 2023.
Abstract : Recalls and presentations of "new" results on decompositions obtained thanks to first difference principle,
among which decompositions in almost-linear time of bounded degree graphs.
Contrary to my habit, the slides are available, because I added a few ideas in the conclusion
that are not in the article.

- On finite width questionable representations of orders.
Séminaire de l'équipe MC2 (Modèles de Calcul et Complexité) du LIP (Laboratoire de l'Informatique du Parallélisme), ENS Lyon, november 2019.
Abstract of abstract: One width to rule them all.
Abstract: In this talk, I will present results on orders and other binary structures, such as graphs.
Those binary structures share the possibility to be decomposed according to the first difference principle.
I will recall results of Hausdorff and Sierpiński for total orders,
and then present structural results for partial orders that can be easily decomposed.
For these orders, I obtain some results of polynomial time complexity for isomorphism
and a partial result for counting the number of linear extensions (#P-complete).
Last but not least, I will generalize the first difference principle in a sequence
to a first difference principle in a tree,
and obtain a "width" of binary structures associated to a new kind of hierarchical decompositions.
These obtained hierarchical decompositions are strictly more powerful than tree/clique-decompositions,
since they can decompose grids and probably any graph embeddable in some fixed surface/manifold.
