商品描述
In the Fall of 2023, the Erdős Center (Budapest) hosted a special semester on "Discrete Geometry and Convexity", which brought together some of the strongest experts in the field and many outstanding young researchers. The program featured intensive one-week mini-courses during a Summer School, followed by conferences and workshops presenting cutting-edge research. Part I of the present volume includes the notes of three lecture series on (1) approximation in discrete geometry, (2) random polytopes, and (3) a structure theory for graphs embedded in the plane. Part II starts with a classic: Matousek's until now unpublished elegant lecture notes concerning the algorithmic complexity of recognizing intersection graphs of segments and some other geometric objects. It is complemented by the first systematic and comprehensive survey of the corresponding complexity class: the existential theory of reals. This volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students, young researchers, and experts in related fields interested in discrete and computational geometry.

在2023年秋季,厄爾德什中心(布達佩斯)舉辦了一個名為「離散幾何與凸性」的特別學期,聚集了該領域的一些頂尖專家和許多優秀的年輕研究者。該計畫在夏季學校期間提供了為期一週的密集迷你課程,隨後舉辦了會議和研討會,展示前沿研究。本卷的第一部分包括三個講座系列的筆記,主題為(1)離散幾何中的近似,(2)隨機多面體,以及(3)嵌入平面的圖的結構理論。第二部分以一部經典作品開始:Matousek至今未發表的優雅講義筆記,內容涉及識別線段交集圖及其他幾何物件的演算法複雜性。這部分還補充了對應複雜性類別的首次系統性和全面性調查:實數的存在理論。本卷將成為對於研究離散與計算幾何的研究生、年輕研究者及相關領域專家的寶貴資源。
作者簡介
János Pach is a research professor at the Rényi Institute, Budapest. His main fields of interest are discrete and computational geometry, convexity, and combinatorics. He has written more than 350 research papers. His books, "Research Problems in Discrete Geometry'' (with Brass and Moser) and ``Combinatorial Geometry" (with Agarwal) were translated into Japanese, Russian, and Chinese. He is the co-editor-in-chief of Discrete & Computational Geometry. He received the Lester Ford Award from the Mathematical Association of America (1990), the Rényi Prize and the Academy Award from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (1993, 1998), and the Szele Prize from the Bolyai Mathematical Society (2019). He was elected the ACM Fellow (2011), a member of Academia Europaea (2014) and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2022). He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians (2014) and a plenary speaker at the European Congress of Mathematics (2021).
Géza Tóth is a research professor and the head of the Department of Geometry at the Rényi Institute, Budapest, working on problems in discrete and computational geometry and combinatorics. He received his PhD degree at Courant Institute, New York University in 1997, as a student of János Pach, winning the Best Dissertation Prize in mathematics and the Sokol Award, the highest university-wide prize for fresh PhDs. He wrote more than 100 research articles and he is the co-editor-in-chief of Studia Scientiarum Mathematicarum Hungarica and the editor of Computational Geometry and Acta Mathematica Hungarica. Among other distinctions, he received the Erdős Prize of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2008 and the Rényi Prize of the Rényi Institute in 2010.
