About György Elekes
- György Elekes (19 May 1949 – 29 September 2008) was a Hungarian mathematician and computer scientist who specialized in Combinatorial geometry and Combinatorial set theory.
- He may be best known for his work in the field that would eventually be called Additive Combinatorics.
- Particularly notable was his "ingenious" application of the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem to improve the best known lower bound for the sum-product problem.
- He also proved that any polynomial-time algorithm approximating the volume of convex bodies must have a multiplicative error, and the error grows exponentially on the dimension.
- With Micha Sharir he set up a framework which eventually led Guth and Katz to the solution of the Erdos distinct distances problem.
