Ludwig Staiger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Staiger is a German mathematician and computer scientist at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg.

He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Jena in 1976; his doctoral thesis, Zur Topologie der regulären Mengen, was written under the direction of Gerd Wechsung and Rolf Lindner.[1]

Previously he held positions at the Academy of Sciences in Berlin (East), the , the Karl Weierstrass Institute for Mathematics and the Technical University Otto-von-Guericke Magdeburg. He was a visiting professor at RWTH Aachen University, the universities Dortmund, Siegen, and Cottbus in Germany and the Technical University Vienna, Austria. He is a member of the Managing Committee of the and an external researcher of the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.[2]

He co-invented with Klaus Wagner the . Staiger is an expert in ω-languages, an area in which he wrote more than 19 papers [3] including the paper on this topic in the monograph.[4] He found surprising applications of ω-languages in the study of Liouville numbers.

Staiger is an active researcher in combinatorics on words, automata theory, effective dimension theory,[5] and algorithmic information theory.
