Nominator's project description
| Professor Szpankowski is a leading researcher in information theory and the mathematical analysis of algorithms. He has developed methods for analytic combinatorics such as an analytic de-Poissonization theory. During his stay in Germany, he intends to combine analytic and probabilistic methods to universally characterize asymptotic distributions arising from random trees, recursive algorithms and coding theory. |
