Günter Ewald

Combinatorial Convexity and Algebraic Geometry (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book is an introduction to the theory of convex polytopes and polyhedral sets, to algebraic geometry, and to the connections between these fields, known as the theory of toric varieties. The first part of the book covers the theory of polytopes and provides large parts of the mathematical background of linear optimization and of the geometrical aspects in computer science. The second part introduces toric varieties in an elementary way.
