Algorithmic Topology and Classification of 3-Manifolds (Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics, 9, Band 9)

Hardcover. Zustand: Neu. Neu Neuware, Importqualität, auf Lager - From the reviews of the 1st edition:'This book provides a comprehensive and detailed account of different topics in algorithmic 3-dimensional topology, culminating with the recognition procedure for Haken manifolds and including the up-to-date results in computer enumeration of 3-manifolds. Originating from lecture notes of various courses given by the author over a decade, the book is intended to combine the pedagogical approach of a graduate textbook (without exercises) with the completeness and reliability of a research monograph.All the material, with few exceptions, is presented from the peculiar point of view of special polyhedra and special spines of 3-manifolds. This choice contributes to keep the level of the exposition really elementary. In conclusion, the reviewer subscribes to the quotation from the back cover: 'the book fills a gap in the existing literature and will become a standard reference for algorithmic 3-dimensional topology both for graduate students and researchers'. Zentralblatt für Mathematik 2004For this 2nd edition, new results, new proofs, and commentaries for a better orientation of the reader have been added. In particular, in Chapter 7 several new sections concerning applications of the computer program '3-Manifold Recognizer' have been included. Artikel-Nr. INF1000775303
