This volume collects together research and survey papers written by invited speakers of the conference celebrating the 70th birthday of László Lovász. The topics covered include classical subjects such as extremal graph theory, coding theory, design theory, applications of linear algebra and combinatorial optimization, as well as recent trends such as extensions of graph limits, online or statistical versions of classical combinatorial problems, and new methods of derandomization. László Lovász is one of the pioneers in the interplay between discrete and continuous mathematics, and is a master at establishing unexpected connections, “building bridges” between seemingly distant fields. His invariably elegant and powerful ideas have produced new subfields in many areas, and his outstanding scientific work has defined and shaped many research directions in the last 50 years. The 14 contributions presented in this volume, all of which are connected to László Lovász's areas of research, offer an excellent overview of the state of the art of combinatorics and related topics and will be of interest to experienced specialists as well as young researchers.

Building Bridges II

Thomas Lukasiewicz

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Foundations of Information and Knowledge Systems, FoIKS 2012, held in Kiel, Germany, in March 2012. The 12 regular and 8 short papers, presented together with two invited talks in full paper-length, were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The contributions cover foundational aspects of information and knowledge systems. These include the application of ideas, theories or methods from specific disciplines to information and knowledge systems, such as discrete mathematics, logic and algebra, model theory, informaiton theory, complexity theory, algorithmics and computation, statistics, and optimization.
