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 ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

I'm wrapping up a discrete math course for my university. The last chapter gave us an introduction to graph theory, and I want to learn more. The chapter in question introduced some basic concepts: ...

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 ...

In 1986, then-Fort Wayne Mayor Win Moses Jr. proclaimed March 10-15 to be Fort Wayne Graph Theory Week and urged “all citizens, community organizations, scholars, and conference participants, to join ...

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 ...
