Numbers, Information and Complexityedited byIngo Althöfer Friedrich-Schiller Universität Jena, Fakultät für Mathematik und Informatik, Germany Ning Cai School of Computing, National University of Singapore Gunter Dueck IBM Germany, Heidelberg, Germany Levon Khachatrian Fakultät Mathematik, Universität Bielefeld, Germany Mark S. Pinsker Institute for Problems of Information Transmission, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow Andras Sárkozy Eotvos Loránd University, Dept. of Algebra and Number Theory, Budapest, Hungary Ingo Wegener Universität Dortmund, Germany Zhen Zhang Communications Science Institute, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA Numbers, Information and Complexity is a collection of about 50 articles in honour of Rudolf Ahlswede. His main areas of research are represented in the three sections, `Numbers and Combinations', `Information Theory (Channels and Networks, Combinatorial and Algebraic Coding, Cryptology, with the related fields Data Compression, Entropy Theory, Symbolic Dynamics, Probability and Statistics)', and `Complexity'. Special attention was paid to the interplay between the fields. Surveys on topics of current interest are included as well as new research results. The book features surveys on Combinatorics about topics such as intersection
theorems, which are not yet covered in textbooks, several contributions
by leading experts in data compression, and relations to Natural Sciences
are discussed.
