Description

Combinatorics is an area of mathematics involving an impressive breadth of ideas, and it encompasses topics ranging from codes and circuit design to algorithmic complexity and algebraic graph theory. In a highly distinguished career Bela Bollobas has made, and continues to make, many significant contributions to combinatorics, and this volume reflects the wide range of topics on which his work has had a major influence. It arises from a conference organized to mark his 60th birthday and the thirty-one articles contained here are of the highest calibre. That so many excellent mathematicians have contributed is testament to the very high regard in which Bela Bollobas is held. Students and researchers across combinatorics and related fields will find that this volume provides a wealth of insight to the state of the art.

Reviews

'On top of the quality of the papers, the book is worth reading for its long foreword.' Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum
