Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Algorithm
  • Discrete mathematics
  • Combinatorics

Avi Wigderson focuses on Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Theoretical computer science, Mathematical proof and Upper and lower bounds. The Discrete mathematics study combines topics in areas such as Turing machine, Computational complexity theory, Zero-knowledge proof, Randomness and String. His studies deal with areas such as Monotone polygon, Communication complexity and Exponential function as well as Combinatorics.

His work carried out in the field of Theoretical computer science brings together such families of science as Cryptographic protocol, Cryptography, Fault tolerance, Completeness and Secure two-party computation. His Interactive proof system, Probabilistically checkable proof and Proof complexity study in the realm of Mathematical proof connects with subjects such as Generality. His Upper and lower bounds research integrates issues from Probabilistic analysis of algorithms, Randomized algorithm, Game theory and Deterministic algorithm.

His most cited work include:

  • How to play ANY mental game (2707 citations)
  • Completeness theorems for non-cryptographic fault-tolerant distributed computation (2019 citations)
  • How to Play any Mental Game or A Completeness Theorem for Protocols with Honest Majority (1655 citations)
