Approximation in geometry

THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
mathematics and computing
Doctoral School of Mathematics

Thesis supervisor: Márton Naszódi
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Loránd Eötvös University, Faculty of Sciences, Dept. of Geometry
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE


Description of the research topic:

Several questions in convex and discrete geometry may be phrased as approximation problems. A few examples are approximation of a convex body by a polytope with few vertices, quantitative Helly-type problems, finding the shortest non-zero vector in a normed space. Familiarity with these problems, or knowledge of heavy geometric, analytical or combinatorial machinery are not a prerequisite, a keen interest in them is.

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
Knowledge of master's level analysis and combinatorics is helpful, but the most important prerequisite is a genuine interest in doing research in mathematics.

Number of students who can be accepted: 5

Deadline for application: 2024-05-31
