For those who hear the phrase “graph theory” and think of the basic pie charts and bar graphs introduced in elementary school, there’s a new world to be explored. “In graph theory, the most simple way ...

Graph polynomials serve as robust algebraic encodings of the intricate combinatorial properties inherent to graphs. At the heart of this discipline lies the Tutte polynomial, an invariant that not ...

Antimagic labelling is a fascinating area of graph theory that assigns unique integers to the edges of a graph in such a way that the resulting vertex sums are distinct. This concept, grounded in the ...

As a branch of graph theory, Graph drawing applies topology and geometry to derive two- and three-dimensional representations of graphs. Graph drawing is motivated by applications such as VLSI circuit ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

On March 15, intriguing seminar announcements sent rumblings through the field of combinatorics, the mathematical study of counting. Three collaborators planned to give coordinated talks the following ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...
