Dominique de Caen (May 11, 1956 – June 25, 2002 ) was a mathematician, Doctor of Mathematics, and professor of Mathematics, who specialized in graph theory, probability, and information theory. He is renowned for his research on Turán's extremal problem for hypergraphs.[1][2]
Career
He studied mathematics at McGill University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1977.[1]
In 1979, he obtained a Master of Science degree from Queen's University with a thesis on Prime Boolean matrices.[1]
In 1982, he earned the Doctorate of Mathematics degree from University of Toronto with a thesis entitled On Turán's Hypergraph Problem which was supervised by Eric Mendelsohn.[1][3]
Most of his academic papers have been published in the journals Discrete Mathematics, Designs, Codes and Cryptography, the Journal of Combinatorial Theory, and the European Journal of Combinatorics, among others.[2][4]
