Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a public transportation network. Mathematicians have long sought to develop ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

Solving sudoku puzzles may not require mathematics, but mathematicians have found plenty to say about the popular brainteasers.

How Big Data Carried Graph Theory Into New Dimensions Researchers are turning to the mathematics of higher-order interactions to better model the complex connections within their data.

Two WMU mathematicians are co-authors of new graph theory book The book is intended to appeal to a broad audience. KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University's international reputation on the topic ...

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 ...

Basic concepts of Graph Theory are discussed which are relevant to solving problems of locating economic activities within a service or manufacturing facility. The location problem is formulated in ...

Algorithm that speeds up comparison of graphs would be first major advance in three decades.

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...
