Christopher Francis Freiling is a mathematician responsible for Freiling's axiom of symmetry in set theory. [1] He has also made significant contributions to coding theory, in the process establishing connections between that field and matroid theory. [2]
Freiling obtained his Ph.D. in 1981 from the University of California, Los Angeles under the supervision of Donald A. Martin. [3] He is a member of the faculty of the Department of Mathematics at California State University, San Bernardino. [4]
Dougherty, Freiling, and Zeger (2005) showed via an ingenious counterexample that unlike the multicast case, linear network coding fails to achieve the capacity region of a general graphical multimessage network error-free. This counterexample hinges on a deep connection between linear network coding and matroid theory.
