Fete of combinatorics and computer science

Discrete Mathematics and theoretical computer science are closely linked research areas with strong impacts on applications and various other scientific disciplines. Both fields deeply cross fertilize each other. One of the persons who particularly contributed to building bridges between these and many other areas is László Lovász, whose outstanding scientific work has defined and shaped many research directions in the past 40 years. A number of friends and colleagues, all top authorities in their fields of expertise gathered at the two conferences in August 2008 in Hungary, celebrating Lovász' 60th birthday. It wasa real fete of combinatorics and computer science. Some of these plenary speakers submitted their research or survey papers prior to the conferences. Theseare included in the volume 'Building Bridges'. The other speakers were able to finish their contribution only later, these are collected in the present volume. - Collection of outstanding articles on discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science - Based on the contributions to Laszlo Lovasz's 60th anniversary - Offers an excellent view on the state of combinatorics and related topics INDICE: Preface.- N.
