The study of perfect codes within Cayley graphs thus bridges abstract algebra, combinatorics, and information theory, revealing insights into symmetry, network reliability, and efficient data ...

On a larger scale, mathematicians use graph theory to study social networks such as Facebook. Many of the problems Chudnovsky works on have to do with coloring graphs.

The study of such graphs is called graph theory. Engineers need to find planarity in a graph when, for example, they are designing a computer chip without a crossed wire.

But in perfect graphs, you do not. As the French graph theorist Claude Berge defined them in 1961, perfect graphs require a number of colors exactly equal to the size of their largest clique. The ...

Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo: Western Michigan University - Graph Theory 1968-2000 presented by Linda Lesniak at 10 a.m. in the Alavi Commons 6625 Everett Tower Oct. 15, 2024 On Mixed Graphs ...

It also has direct and crucial implications for a branch of mathematics known as graph theory. These graphs consist of collections of points, or vertices, that may (or may not) be connected to each ...
