Algorithmic Combinatorics: Enumerative Combinatorics, Special Functions and Computer Algebra: In Honour of Peter Paule on his 60th Birthday

by Veronika Pillwein (Editor), Carsten Schneider (Editor)

Overview

The book is centered around the research areas of combinatorics, special functions, and computer algebra. What these research fields share is that many of their outstanding results do not only have applications in Mathematics, but also other disciplines, such as computer science, physics, chemistry, etc. A particular charm of these areas is how they interact and influence one another. For instance, combinatorial or special functions' techniques have motivated the development of new symbolic algorithms. In particular, first proofs of challenging problems in combinatorics and special functions were derived by making essential use of computer algebra. This book addresses these interdisciplinary aspects. Algorithmic aspects are emphasized and the corresponding software packages for concrete problem solving are introduced.
Readers will range from graduate students, researchers to practitioners who are interested in solving concrete problems within mathematics and other research disciplines.
