Zsolt Baranyai

Zsolt Baranyai (born June 23, 1948 in Budapest , † April 18, 1978 ibid) was a Hungarian mathematician who dealt with combinatorics .

Baranyai went to Fazekas Gymnasium in Budapest as a classmate of László Lovász , Miklós Laczkovich and Lajos Pósa . From 1967 to 1972 he studied at Loránd Eötvös University , where he received his doctorate in 1975. In 1978 he was posthumously awarded a doctorate (candidate title) from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

He was also a professional recorder player and toured Hungary with the Bakfart consort. On the way back from a concert, he died in a car accident on a country road.

He is best known for Baranyai's theorem on the decomposition of complete hypergraphs .
