Description for Perfect Graphs
Hardcover. Taking a fresh approach to graph theory, this book surveys the latest research articles, highlighting the new directions and seminal results. It also emphasizes the links the subject has to other areas of mathematics and its applications. In particular, the links between perfect graphs and frequency assignment for telecommunications are discussed. Editor(s): Ramirez Alfonsin, Jorge L.; Reed, Bruce A. Series: Wiley Series in Discrete Mathematics and Optimization. Num Pages: 386 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: PBV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 250 x 179 x 28. Weight in Grams: 820.
The theory of perfect graphs was born out of a conjecture about graph colouring made by Claude Berge in 1960. That conjecture remains unsolved, but has generated an important area of research in combinatorics. This book:
* Includes an introduction by Claude Berge, the founder of perfect graph theory
* Discusses the most recent developments in the field of perfect graph theory
* Provides a thorough historical overview of the subject
* Internationally respected authors highlight the new directions, seminal results and the links the field has with other subjects
