Dieses Buch ist ...] eine hervorragende Einfuhrung in Kombinatorik und Graphentheorie fur Studienanfanger in Mathematik (und Informatik). ...] das Buch ist wegen des ungewohnlichen und sehr attraktiven Stiles der Darstellung bemerkenswert. ...] Die Sprachform ist vorwiegend die eines Gespraches mit dem Leser, der dadurch in die Gedankengange und Uberlegungen des Autors hineingefuhrt und hineingezogen wird. Zum Beispiel werden bei einem Beweis zuerst die Grundidee oder die Zielsetzung genannt und erlautert, und auch im weiteren Verlauf wird immer wieder durch alternative Formulierungen...

Includes a rich variety of exercises to accompany the exposition of Coxeter groups

Coxeter groups have already been exposited from algebraic and geometric perspectives, but this book will be presenting the combinatorial aspects of Coxeter groups

This solid volume discusses all the key topics in detail, including classification, orbit structure, representations, universal constructions, and abstract analogues. Open problems are discussed as they arise and many useful exercises are included.

Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series are generalizations of the Riemann zeta function. Like the Riemann zeta function, they are Dirichlet series with analytic continuation and functional equations, having applications to analytic number theory. By contrast, these Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series may be functions of several complex variables and their groups of functional equations may be arbitrary finite Weyl groups. Furthermore, their coefficients are multiplicative up to roots of unity, generalizing the notion of Euler products. This book proves foundational results about these...

There has been considerable interest recently in the subject of patterns in permutations and words, a new branch of combinatorics with its roots in the works of Rotem, Rogers, and Knuth in the 1970s. Consideration of the patterns in question has been extremely interesting from the combinatorial point of view, and it has proved to be a useful language in a variety of seemingly unrelated problems, including the theory of Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials, singularities of Schubert varieties, interval orders, Chebyshev polynomials, models in statistical mechanics, and various sorting algorithms,...

The Abel Symposium 2009 "Combinatorial aspects of Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry," held at Voss, Norway, featured talks by leading researchers in the field.

This is the proceedings of the Symposium, presenting contributions on syzygies, tropical geometry, Boij-Soderberg theory, Schubert calculus, and quiver varieties. The volume also includes an introductory survey on binomial ideals with applications to hypergeometric series, combinatorial games and chemical reactions.

The contributions pose interesting problems, and offer up-to-date research on...
