The HUN-REN-ELTE (formerly MTA-ELTE and ELKH-ELTE) Egerváry Research Group, or EGRES for short, was founded by András Frank, and is currently led by Tibor Jordán. The group's main field of research is theoretical combinatorial optimization (for a detailed account, see Introduction). EGRES is affiliated with Operations Research Department, Eötvös University, Budapest, and the Hungarian Research Network.
For more information on our research, see our Technical Reports and Quick Proofs series. Visit our Egres Open website, an open problem collection intended also as a discussion forum for fellow researchers (the old problems page can be found here). For publicaton lists see the individual members pages.
Our mail address is: EGRES Group, Operations Research Department, Eötvös University, Pázmány P. s. 1/C, Budapest, Hungary, H-1117.
