Discrete Geometry and Convexity in Honour of Imre Bárány
This special volume is contributed by the speakers of the Discrete Geometry and
Convexity conference, held in Budapest, June 19–23, 2017. The aim of the conference
is to celebrate the 70th birthday and the scientific achievements of professor
Imre Bárány, a pioneering researcher of discrete and convex geometry, topological
methods, and combinatorics. The extended abstracts presented here are written by
prominent mathematicians whose work has special connections to that of professor
Bárány. Topics that are covered include: discrete and combinatorial geometry,
convex geometry and general convexity, topological and combinatorial methods.
The research papers are presented here in two sections. After this preface and a
short overview of Imre Bárány’s works, the main part consists of 20 short but very
high level surveys and/or original results (at least an extended abstract of them)
by the invited speakers. Then in the second part there are 13 short summaries of
further contributed talks.
We would like to dedicate this volume to Imre, our great teacher, inspiring
colleague, and warm-hearted friend
