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

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

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 ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

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 ...
