Съвместен семинар на МЦМН и секция МОИ
Във вторник, 07.03.2023 г., от 14:00 часа в зала 403 ще състои съвместна сбирка на семинарите на МЦМН и секция МОИ. Доклад на тема: Plank Problems: Discrete Geometry and Convexity ще изнесе д-р Александър Полянский (ИМИ-БАН). Abstract: The set of points lying between two parallel lines in the plane is called a plank. Given a convex region C in the plane, what is the smallest combined width of a finite collection of planks that cover C? What happens in higher dimensions? In the 50s, Thoger Bang answered this innocent question of Alfred Tarski and opened a box with many deceptively simple-looking problems. In my talk, I will overview progress in the area and its connection with other fields: theoretical computer science, number theory, and [...]
