Exploring discrete algorithms and string algorithms
The Ito-Mieno Lab studies discrete algorithms and string algorithms.
Professor Ito's research areas are discrete algorithms, discrete mathematics, and recreational mathematics.
Assistant Professor Mieno's research areas are string data structures and algorithms, and combinatorics on words.
Professor Ito is the author of the book "Pazuru Gemu de Tanoshimu Sugaku: Goraku Sugaku no Sekai" (Enjoying Mathematics with Puzzles and Games: The World of Recreational Mathematics).
Key terms
- Recreational mathematics
- A field that uses puzzles and games as an entry point to enjoy mathematics. It is also the subject of the title of Professor Ito's book.
- String data structures
- Ways of organizing and storing data so that long strings can be searched and analyzed efficiently.
ResearchResearch themes
Professor Ito's research areas are discrete algorithms, discrete mathematics, and recreational mathematics, while Assistant Professor Mieno's are string data structures and algorithms, and combinatorics on words. Professor Ito has also written books such as "Irasuto de Manabu Risan Sugaku" (Discrete Mathematics Learned through Illustrations) and "Data Kozo to Algorithm" (Data Structures and Algorithms).
