Discrete and Computational Geometry

An impressive collection of original research papers in discrete and computational geometry contributed by many leading researchers in these fields as a tribute to Jacob E. Goodman and Richard Pollack two of the ‘founding fathers’ of the area on the occasion of their 2/3 x 100 birthdays. The topics covered by the 41 papers provide professionals and graduate students with a comprehensive presentation of the state of the art in most aspects of discrete and computational geometry including geometric algorithms study of arrangements geometric graph theory quantitative and algorithmic real algebraic geometry with important connections to algebraic geometry convexity polyhedral combinatorics the theory of packing covering and tiling. The book serves as an invaluable source of reference in this discipline.
