Work
Peter Hammer was a prolific and influential researcher in the fields of operations research and discrete mathematics. He dedicated most of his work to the study of pseudo-Boolean functions (functions from to ) and their connections with optimisation. He is considered the father of the Boolean Function Theory as well as the main contributor to it, as his books testify. He also applied the techniques he developed to graph theory and integer programming.
More recently, he extended his work on pseudo-Boolean functions toward data mining and proposed the Logical Analysis of Data (LAD) methodology. He registered several successes with this method essentially to help medical diagnosis.
