Positional Games
This text is based on a lecture course given by the authors in the framework of Oberwolfach Seminars at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in May, 2013. It is intended to serve as a thorough introduction to the rapidly developing field of positional games. This area constitutes an important branch of combinatorics, whose aim it is to systematically develop an extensive mathematical basis for a variety of two player perfect information games. These ranges from such popular games as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hex to purely abstract games played on graphs and hypergraphs. The subject of positional games is strongly related to several other branches of combinatorics such as Ramsey theory, extremal graph and set theory, and the probabilistic method. These notes cover a variety of topics in positional games, including both classical results and recent important developments. They are presented in an accessible way and are accompanied by exercises of varying difficulty, helping the reader to better understand the theory. The text will benefit both researchers and graduate students in combinatorics and adjacent fields.
Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO 2005, held in Berlin, Germany in June 2005. The 34 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 119 submissions. Among the topics addressed are mixed-integer programming, graph theory, graph algorithms, approximation, linear programming, approximability, packing, scheduling, computational geometry, randomization, network algorithms, sequencing, TSP, and travelling salesman problem.
Combinatorics and Probability
This volume celebrating the 60th birthday of Béla Bollobás presents the state of the art in combinatorics.
The Mathematics of Paul Erdős II
This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of the legendary Paul Erdős (1913-1996), one of the most versatile and prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the main areas of Erdős' research are covered in a single project. Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community, the project now occupies over 1000 pages, arranged into two volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as well as key articles that survey some of the cornerstones of Erdős' work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to Erdős complement this striking collectio...
Testing of Communicating Systems
This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th IFIP TC6/WG6.1 Inter- tional Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems (TestCom 2004). This conference was held at St Anne's College, Oxford, UK, from March 17 to March 19, 2004. TestCom 2004 was the sixteenth in a series of IFIP-sponsored events that started in 1988. The previous events were held in Vancouver, Canada (1988); B- lin, Germany (1989); McLean, USA (1990); Leidschendam, Netherlands (1991); Montreal, Canada (1992); Pau, France (1993); Tokyo, Japan (1994); Evry, France (1995); Darmstadt, Germany (1996); Cheju Island, Korea (1997); Tomsk, R- sia (1998); Budapest, Hungary (1999); Ottawa, Canada (2000); Berlin, Germany (2002); and Sophia Antipolis, France (2003). TestCom was not held in 2001 since at this point the conference moved from autumn to spring. TestCom 2004 was organized by Brunel University, UK and LSR-IMAG, France and was sponsored by IFIP. Support was also provided by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). We are grateful to the keynote speaker, Prof. Sir Tony Hoare, FRS, and our invited speakers for agreeing to address TestCom 2004.
The Discrete Mathematical Charms of Paul Erd?s
A captivating introduction to key results of discrete mathematics through the work of Paul Erdős, blended with first-hand reminiscences.
Algorithms - ESA 2003
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2003, held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2003. The 66 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 165 submissions. The scope of the papers spans the entire range of algorithmics from design and mathematical analysis issues to real-world applications, engineering, and experimental analysis of algorithms.
The Last Train to Budapest
Nandor Pekar escaped communist Hungary in 1956. Trained by his father to survive in SAS type fashion for years in the heart of the Zemplen Mountains; when the moment of impact arrived in 1956, Nandor ensured the Russians were faced with a well-organised, fearless populace, which improvised with amazing bravery. This is a story of revenge, patriotism, romance and violence, encompassing an emotional thrilling tidal wave with an unexpected grand finale. Following the bloody battle for freedom, moseying amongst the depression of Budapest's merciless bludgeoned core, Nandor realises there is only one chance to be free. To escape Hungary! It would be his last chance to beat the Russians, and deny them of their intentions to keep him prisoner in his own country.
