Mathematics and Computer Science II: Algorithms, Trees, Combinatorics and Probabilities

by Brigitte Chauvin (Editor), Philippe Flajolet (Editor), Daniele Gardy (Editor), Abdelkader Mokkadem (Editor)

Overview

This is the second volume in a series of innovative proceedings entirely devoted to the connections between mathematics and computer science. Here mathematics and computer science are directly confronted and joined to tackle intricate problems in computer science with deep and innovative mathematical approaches.

The book serves as an outstanding tool and a main information source for a large public in applied mathematics, discrete mathematics and computer science, including researchers, teachers, graduate students and engineers. It provides an overview of the current questions in computer science and the related modern and powerful mathematical methods. The range of applications is very wide and reaches beyond computer science.
