Surveys in Combinatorics 2007 offers an essential, up-to-date overview of current research within the field of combinatorics. Based on the invited lectures from the Twenty-first British Combinatorial Conference held at the University of Reading, this volume brings together contributions from ten of the world’s foremost researchers. The text addresses a wide range of topics, from fundamental graph theory to modern, practical applications of combinatorial mathematics. Readers will explore significant developments in areas such as the efficient approximability of NP-hard optimisation problems, cryptographic key management, designs, topology, and the properties of algebraic curves over finite fields.
Written with both research mathematicians and advanced graduate students in mind, the book acts as both a summary of existing results and a unique, insightful preview of ongoing work. It is a vital resource for those working in mathematics, computer science, statistics, or engineering who wish to keep pace with the present state of knowledge in this fast-moving discipline. This collection provides the high-quality scholarship expected from the prestigious London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series.
