Václav Chvátal
Václav Chvátal is a prominent Czech mathematician known for his contributions to combinatorial optimization and graph theory. He gained recognition for solving the 'museum problem' in 1973, which deals with the minimum number of guards needed to monitor a museum, a concept that has applications in various fields including robotics and urban planning. Chvátal's work has had a lasting impact on the study of surveillance and security, and his elegant solutions continue to influence modern mathematical approaches to coverage problems.
