Katalin L. Vesztergombi (born July 17, 1948)[1] is a Hungarian mathematician known for her contributions to graph theory and discrete geometry. A student of Vera T. Sós and a co-author of Paul Erdős, she is an emeritus associate professor at Eötvös Loránd University[2] and a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.[3]
Education
As a high-school student in the 1960s, Vesztergombi became part of a special class for gifted mathematics students at Fazekas Mihály Gimnázium with her future collaborators László Lovász, József Pelikán, and others.[4] She completed her Ph.D. in 1987 at Eötvös Loránd University.[1][5] Her dissertation, Distribution of Distances in Finite Point Sets, is connected to the Erdős distinct distances problem and was supervised by Vera Sós.[5]
Contributions
Vesztergombi's research contributions include works on permutations,[PR] graph coloring and graph products,[XN] combinatorial discrepancy theory,[SS] distance problems in discrete geometry,[LD] geometric graph theory,[GR] the rectilinear crossing number of the complete graph,[CQ] and graphons.[D1][D2]
With László Lovász and József Pelikán, she is the author of the textbook Discrete Mathematics: Elementary and Beyond.[6][DM]
Personal
Vesztergombi is married to László Lovász, with whom she is also a frequent research collaborator.[7]
