Can I help you find your Erdos number?

What is an Erdos number?

If you are Paul Erdos, your Erdos number is 0.
If you have published with Erdos (but you do not have an Erdos number of 0), then your Erdos number is 1.
If you have published with someone whose Erdos number is 1 (but you do not have an Erdos number of 0 or 1), then your Erdos number is 2.
Etc.
Einstein numbers may be similarly defined.

Are you linked to Erdos through me?

If you published with me, then (since my Erdos number is 2), your Erdos number is 3 or less. Your name should be in the list below; if not, please let me know.

What is my link to Erdos?

Azor, R., Gillis, J., and Victor, J.D. (1982) Combinatorial applications of Hermite polynomials. SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis 13, 879-890.

This paper provides a combinatorial interpretation for integrals of triple- (and higher-order) products of Hermite polynomials.

Joseph Gillis has an Erdos number of 1.

Your Einstein number

If you are on this page, your Einstein number is 4 or less. This is via the link to me, followed by the above link to Gillis, followed by

Gillis, J., and Kaufman, B., (1962) The stability of a rotating viscous jet. Quart. Appl. Math. 1962, 19, 301-308.
