Péter Frankl (born 26 March 1953 in Kaposvár, Somogy county, Hungary) is a Hungarian mathematician and street performer. Frankl studied Mathematics in University Paris Diderot and has lived in Japan since 1988, where he sometimes appears on NHK. Though not as popular as he once was, he still performs juggling in public spaces around Tokyo. Frankl won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1971. His Ph.D. advisor was Gyula O.H. Katona,[1] and he has six joint papers with Paul Erdős.[2]
His research is in combinatorics, especially in extremal combinatorics.
Since 1998, he is an external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
