Book Description
Graphical Enumeration deals with the enumeration of various kinds of graphs. Topics covered range from labeled enumeration and George Pólya's theorem to rooted and unrooted trees, graphs and digraphs, and power group enumeration. Superposition, blocks, and asymptotics are also discussed. A number of unsolved enumeration problems are presented. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of labeled graphs, followed by a description of the basic enumeration theorem of Pólya. The next three chapters count an enormous variety of trees, graphs, and digraphs. The Power Group Enumeration Theorem is then described together with some of its applications, including the enumeration of self-complementary graphs and digraphs and finite automata. Two other chapters focus on the counting of superposition and blocks, while another chapter is devoted to asymptotic numbers that are developed for several different graphical structures. The book concludes with a comprehensive definitive list of unsolved graphical enumeration problems. This monograph will be of interest to both students and practitioners of mathematics.

Combinatorial Enumeration of Groups, Graphs, and Chemical Compounds
Author: Georg Polya
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461246644
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
In 1937 there appeared a paper that was to have a profound influence on the progress of combinatorial enumeration, both in its theoretical and applied aspects. Entitled Kombinatorische Anzahlbest immungen jUr Gruppen, Graphen und chemische Verbindungen, it was published in Acta Mathematica, Vol. 68, pp. 145 to 254. Its author, George Polya, was already a mathematician of considerable stature, well-known for outstanding work in many branches of mathematics, particularly analysis. The paper in Question was unusual in that it depended almost entirely on a single theorem -- the "Hauptsatz" of Section 4 -- a theorem which gave a method for solving a general type of enumera tion problem. On the face of it, this is not something that one would expect to run to over 100 pages. Yet the range of the applica tions of the theorem and of its ramifications was enormous, as Polya clearly showed. In the various sections of his paper he explored many applications to the enumeration of graphs, principally trees, and of chemical isomers, using his theorem to present a comprehen sive and unified treatment of problems which had previously been solved, if at all, only by ad hoc methods. In the final section he investigated the asymptotic properties of these enumerational results, bringing to bear his formidable insight as an analyst

A Seminar on Graph Theory
Author: Frank Harary
Publisher: Courier Dover Publications
ISBN: 048680514X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Presented in 1962–63 by experts at University College, London, these lectures offer a variety of perspectives on graph theory. Although the opening chapters form a coherent body of graph theoretic concepts, this volume is not a text on the subject but rather an introduction to the extensive literature of graph theory. The seminar's topics are geared toward advanced undergraduate students of mathematics. Lectures by this volume's editor, Frank Harary, include "Some Theorems and Concepts of Graph Theory," "Topological Concepts in Graph Theory," "Graphical Reconstruction," and other introductory talks. A series of invited lectures follows, featuring presentations by other authorities on the faculty of University College as well as visiting scholars. These include "Extremal Problems in Graph Theory" by Paul Erdös, "Complete Bipartite Graphs: Decomposition into Planar Subgraphs," by Lowell W. Beineke, "Graphs and Composite Games," by Cedric A. B. Smith, and several others.

Advanced Combinatorics
Author: Louis Comtet
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9789027704412
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Notwithstanding its title, the reader will not find in this book a systematic account of this huge subject. Certain classical aspects have been passed by, and the true title ought to be "Various questions of elementary combina torial analysis". For instance, we only touch upon the subject of graphs and configurations, but there exists a very extensive and good literature on this subject. For this we refer the reader to the bibliography at the end of the volume. The true beginnings of combinatorial analysis (also called combina tory analysis) coincide with the beginnings of probability theory in the 17th century. For about two centuries it vanished as an autonomous sub ject. But the advance of statistics, with an ever-increasing demand for configurations as well as the advent and development of computers, have, beyond doubt, contributed to reinstating this subject after such a long period of negligence. For a long time the aim of combinatorial analysis was to count the different ways of arranging objects under given circumstances. Hence, many of the traditional problems of analysis or geometry which are con cerned at a certain moment with finite structures, have a combinatorial character. Today, combinatorial analysis is also relevant to problems of existence, estimation and structuration, like all other parts of mathema tics, but exclusively forjinite sets.

Graph Spectra for Complex Networks
Author: Piet Van Mieghem
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009366807
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
This concise and self-contained introduction builds up the spectral theory of graphs from scratch, with linear algebra and the theory of polynomials developed in the later parts. The book focuses on properties and bounds for the eigenvalues of the adjacency, Laplacian and effective resistance matrices of a graph. The goal of the book is to collect spectral properties that may help to understand the behavior or main characteristics of real-world networks. The chapter on spectra of complex networks illustrates how the theory may be applied to deduce insights into real-world networks. The second edition contains new chapters on topics in linear algebra and on the effective resistance matrix, and treats the pseudoinverse of the Laplacian. The latter two matrices and the Laplacian describe linear processes, such as the flow of current, on a graph. The concepts of spectral sparsification and graph neural networks are included.
