Handbook of Product Graphs (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This handbook examines the dichotomy between the structure of products and their subgraphs. It also features the design of efficient algorithms that recognize products and their subgraphs and explores the relationship between graph parameters of the product and factors.

Rezensionen

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the marvelous world of graph products, as presented by three experts in a hugely expanded and updated edition of the classic by Imrich and Klavzar. This version, really a new book (thirty-three chapters, up from nine!), contains streamlined proofs, new applications, solutions to conjectures (such as Vizing's conjecture for chordal graphs), and new results in graph minors and flows. Every graph theorist, most combinatorialists, and many other mathematicians will want this volume in their collection. ...The authors have paid careful attention to algorithmic issues (indeed, many of the most attractive algorithms are products of their own research). Readers will find a gentle but incisive introduction to graph algorithms here, and a persuasive lesson on the insights to be gained by algorithmic analysis. In sum-and product-Hammack, Imrich, and Klavzar have put together a world of elegant and useful results in a cogent, readable text. The old book was already a delight, and you will want the new one in an accessible place on your bookshelf.
