KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University's international reputation on the topic of graph theory is on display in a new book published recently by Princeton University Press. Graph theory, a ...

Commutative algebra and graph theory are two vibrant areas of mathematics that have grown increasingly interrelated. At this interface, algebraic methods are applied to study combinatorial structures, ...

Now that pandemic restrictions are easing up, people are getting together again. But it’s been a while, so if you and your friends need some help breaking the ice, here’s a mathematical party game you ...

Algorithmic graph theory and optimisation represents a critical nexus between discrete mathematics and computer science, underpinning the development of efficient methodologies for analysing complex ...

In math, as in life, small choices can have big consequences. This is especially true in graph theory, a field that studies networks of objects and the connections between them. Here’s a little puzzle ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Researchers at ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...

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 ...
