Synopsis

The rapidly expanding area of structural graph theory uses ideas of connectivity to explore various aspects of graph theory and vice versa. It has links with other areas of mathematics, such as design theory and is increasingly used in such areas as computer networks where connectivity algorithms are an important feature. Although other books cover parts of this material, none has a similarly wide scope. Ortrud R. Oellermann (Winnipeg), internationally recognised for her substantial contributions to structural graph theory, acted as academic consultant for this volume, helping shape its coverage of key topics. The result is a collection of thirteen expository chapters, each written by acknowledged experts. These contributions have been carefully edited to enhance readability and to standardise the chapter structure, terminology and notation throughout. An introductory chapter details the background material in graph theory and network flows and each chapter concludes with an extensive list of references.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Lowell W. Beineke is Schrey Professor of Mathematics at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, where he has been since receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan under the guidance of Frank Harary. His graph theory interests are broad and include topological graph theory, line graphs, tournaments, decompositions and vulnerability. With Robin Wilson he edited Selected Topics in Graph Theory (3 volumes), Applications of Graph Theory, Graph Connections, Topics in Algebraic Graph Theory and Topics in Topological Graph Theory. Until recently he was editor of the College Mathematics Journal.

Robin J. Wilson is Emeritus Professor of Pure Mathematics at the Open University, UK. He was recently Gresham Professor of Geometry, London and a Fellow in Mathematics at Keble College, University of Oxford, and now teaches at Pembroke College, Oxford. He graduated in mathematics from the University of Oxford and received his Ph.D. in number theory from the University of Pennsylvania. He has written and edited many books on graph theory and the history of mathematics, including Introduction to Graph Theory, Four Colours Suffice and Lewis Carroll in Numberland and his research interests include graph colourings and the history of combinatorics. He is currently President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics.
