    These sequences exhibit some surprising properties that make them a fascinating subject for research in combinatorial analysis. This 1995 book on the subject by two of its leading researchers will be an important resource for students and professionals in combinatorics, computational geometry and related fields.

    • First book, published in 1995, on widespread technique in computational geometry
    • The authors are the key players in the area
    • Wide readership in theoretical computer science, computational geometry, discrete and combinatorial geometry, robotics and combinatorics
