This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Graph Transformations, ICGT 2015, held in L'Aquila, Italy, in July 2015. The 15 full papers presented together with 3 short papers and 1 keynote were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions.…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Geometric Science of Information, GSI 2015, held in Palaiseau, France, in October 2015. The 80 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions and are organiz…
This textbook treats two important and related matters in convex geometry: the quantification of symmetry of a convex set--measures of symmetry--and the degree to which convex sets that nearly minimize such measures of symmetry are themselves nearly symmetric--the phenomenon of …
As in the previous Seminar Notes, the current volume reflects general trends in the study of Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis. Most of the papers deal with different aspects of Asymptotic Geometric Analysis, understood in a broad sense; many continue the study of geometr…
This book is written in a style that uncovers the mathematical theories buried in our everyday lives such as examples from patterns that appear in nature, art, and traditional crafts, and in mathematical mechanisms in techniques used by architects. The authors believe that throu…
This volume provides a modern introduction to stochastic geometry, random fields and spatial statistics at a (post)graduate level. It is focused on asymptotic methods in geometric probability including weak and strong limit theorems for random spatial structures (point processes…
What is order that is not based on simple repetition, that is, periodicity? How must atoms be arranged in a material so that it diffracts like a quasicrystal? How can we describe aperiodically ordered systems mathematically? Originally triggered by the - later Nobel prize-winnin…
This text presents the Eulerian numbers in the context of modern enumerative, algebraic, and geometric combinatorics. The book first studies Eulerian numbers from a purely combinatorial point of view, then embarks on a tour of how these numbers arise in the study of hyperplane a…
This textbook provides an introduction to the Catalan numbers and their remarkable properties, along with their various applications in combinatorics. Intended to be accessible to students new to the subject, the book begins with more elementary topics before progressing to more…
The main intention of this book is to describe and develop the conceptual, structural and abstract thinking of mathematics. Specific mathematical structures are used to illustrate the conceptual approach; providing a deeper insight into mutual relationships and abstract common f…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th Algorithms and Data Structures Symposium, WADS 2015, held in Victoria, BC, Canada, August 2015. The 54 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 148 submissions. The Algorithm…
The study of discrete mathematics is one of the first courses on curricula in various educational disciplines such as Computer Science, Mathematics and Engineering. Graphs are key data structures used to represent networks, chemical structures, games etc. and are increasingly us…
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Computer Science Symposium in Russia, CSR 2021, held in Sochi, Russia, in June/July 2021. The 28 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The papers cover a broad range of topics, such a…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures, WADS 2021, held in virtually in August 2021. The 47 full papers, presented together with two invited lectures, were carefully reviewed and selected from a total …
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Workshop on Monte Carlo Search, MCS 2020, organized in conjunction with IJCAI 2020. The event was supposed to take place in Yokohama, Japan, in July 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic was held virtually on January 7…
Graph algorithms is a well-established subject in mathematics and computer science. Beyond classical application fields, like approximation, combinatorial optimization, graphics, and operations research, graph algorithms have recently attracted increased attention from computati…
This textbook offers an accessible introduction to combinatorics, infused with Solomon Golomb's insights and illustrative examples. Core concepts in combinatorics are presented with an engaging narrative that suits undergraduate study at any level. Featuring early coverage of th…
This book shows how information theory, probability, statistics, mathematics and personal computers can be applied to the exploration of numbers and proportions in music. It brings the methods of scientific and quantitative thinking to questions like: What are the ways of encodi…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory, FCT 2015, held in Gdańsk, Poland, in August 2015. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers c…
