Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Algebra
  • Complex number

Edward B. Saff mostly deals with Orthogonal polynomials, Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Pure mathematics and Mathematical analysis. His Orthogonal polynomials study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Unit circle and Complex plane, Algebra. His Combinatorics research includes themes of Thomson problem and Exponential function.

His Pure mathematics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Measure, Energy, Type and Distribution. In his research on the topic of Mathematical analysis, Differential algebraic equation, Exponential integrator, Collocation method and Examples of differential equations is strongly related with Nonlinear system. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Asymptotic analysis, focusing on Generalization and, on occasion, Conformal map and Applied mathematics.

His most cited work include:

  • Logarithmic Potentials with External Fields (1091 citations)
  • Distributing many points on a sphere (849 citations)
  • Proof of Theorem 2 (539 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Edward B. Saff mainly investigates Combinatorics, Mathematical analysis, Pure mathematics, Discrete mathematics and Energy. His research on Combinatorics focuses in particular on Orthogonal polynomials. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chebyshev polynomials and Unit circle in addition to Orthogonal polynomials.

His study ties his expertise on Applied mathematics together with the subject of Mathematical analysis. His study looks at the relationship between Discrete mathematics and topics such as Potential energy, which overlap with Monotone polygon. His study looks at the intersection of Energy and topics like Euclidean space with Hausdorff measure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Combinatorics (30.86%)
  • Mathematical analysis (27.99%)
  • Pure mathematics (21.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Energy (17.70%)
  • Discrete mathematics (20.57%)
  • Combinatorics (30.86%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Edward B. Saff mainly focuses on Energy, Discrete mathematics, Combinatorics, Linear programming and Mathematical analysis. The various areas that he examines in his Energy study include Compact space, Pure mathematics, Unit sphere, Kernel and Measure. His work deals with themes such as Balanced flow and Riesz potential, which intersect with Measure.

His Discrete mathematics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cardinality, Potential energy, Polynomial and Monotone polygon. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Limit distribution, Class and Chebyshev filter. His Mathematical analysis research incorporates themes from Point and External field.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Discrete Energy on Rectifiable Sets (30 citations)
  • Universal lower bounds for potential energy of spherical codes (25 citations)
  • Random Point Sets on the Sphere—Hole Radii, Covering, and Separation (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Algebra
  • Complex number

Edward B. Saff focuses on Energy, Combinatorics, Discrete mathematics, Mathematical analysis and Kernel. His research investigates the connection with Energy and areas like Order which intersect with concerns in Asymptotic expansion, Lambda, Lattice and Torus. In the subject of general Combinatorics, his work in Disjoint sets is often linked to Solenoidal vector field, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Discrete mathematics research incorporates elements of Linear programming, Cardinality and Monotone polygon. In the field of Mathematical analysis, his study on Measure overlaps with subjects such as Asymptotic distribution. His research on Kernel also deals with topics like

  • Uniqueness, which have a strong connection to Completeness, Zero, Pure mathematics and Compact space,
  • External field and related Mathematical physics, Gibbs measure, Integrable system and Macroscopic scale.
