2022国际数学联盟算盘奖(IMU Abacus Medal)授予普林斯顿大学以色列数学家Mark Braverman,表彰他开创性的研究发展了信息复杂性理论,为利用信息理论推理通信协议搭建框架。他的工作使得直和定理(direct-sum theorems)为摊销通信、巧妙的协议压缩方法和新的抗噪声交互式通信协议提供了下界。
For his path-breaking research developing the theory of information complexity, a framework for using information theory to reason about communication protocols. His work has led to direct-sum theorems giving lower bounds on amortized communication, ingenious protocol compression methods, and new interactive communication protocols resilient to noise.
