Katalin L. Vesztergombi (born 1948)[1] is a Hungarian mathematician known for her contributions to graph theory and discrete geometry . A student of Vera T. Sós and a co-author of Paul Erdős , she is an emeritus associate professor at Eötvös Loránd University [2] and a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences .[3]
Education [ ]
As a high-school student in the 1960s, Vesztergombi became part of a special class for gifted mathematics students at Fazekas Mihály Gimnázium with her future collaborators László Lovász , József Pelikán, and others.[4]
She completed her Ph.D. in 1987 at Eötvös Loránd University.[1] [5] Her dissertation, Distribution of Distances in Finite Point Sets , is connected to the Erdős distinct distances problem and was supervised by Vera Sós.[5]
Contributions [ ]
Vesztergombi's research contributions include works on permutations ,[PR] graph coloring and graph products ,[XN]
combinatorial discrepancy theory ,[SS] distance problems in discrete geometry ,[LD] geometric graph theory ,[GR]
the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph ,[CQ] and graphons .[D1] [D2]
With László Lovász and József Pelikán, she is the author of the textbook Discrete Mathematics: Elementary and Beyond .[6] [DM]
