TOPICS IN GRAPH THEORY (HB 2023) Hardcover

The connection between graph theory and diverse fields like mathematics, computer science, operations research, and the sciences is constantly expanding. "Topics in Graph Theory" is designed for students with a strong mathematical background. It begins with foundational definitions and theorems in the first three chapters, then explores various advanced topics and potential research directions. These topics integrate concepts from many areas of theoretical and applied mathematics, such as combinatorics, probability, linear algebra, group theory, topology, operations research, and computer science. This makes the book suitable for a first-year graduate course or a more advanced undergraduate course. The authors have developed this book based on and expanding upon the graduate-level content of their earlier work, "Graph Theory and Its Applications," Third Edition, which covers material for both undergraduate and graduate studies.
