Chartrand and Zhangs Discrete Mathematics presents a clearly written, student-friendly introduction to discrete mathematics. The authors draw from their background as researchers and educators to offer lucid discussions and descriptions fundamental to the subject of discrete mathematics. Unique among discrete mathematics textbooks for its treatment of proof techniques and graph theory, topics discussed also include logic, relations and functions (especially equivalence relations and bijective functions), algorithms and analysis of algorithms, introduction to number theory, combinatorics (counting, the Pascal triangle, and the binomial theorem), discrete probability, partially ordered sets, lattices and Boolean algebras, cryptography, and finite-state machines. This highly versatile text provides mathematical background used in a wide variety of disciplines, including mathematics and mathematics education, computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering, communications, and business. Some of the major features and strengths of this textbook Numerous, carefully explained examples and applications facilitate learning. More than 1,600 exercises, ranging from elementary to challenging, are included with hints/answers to all odd-numbered exercises. Descriptions of proof techniques are accessible and lively. Students benefit from the historical discussions throughout the textbook.
This is the third edition of the popular text on graph theory. As in previous editions, the text presents graph theory as a mathematical discipline and emphasizes clear exposition and well-written proofs. New in this edition are expanded treatments of graph decomposition and external graph theory, a study of graph vulnerability and domination, and introductions to voltage graphs, graph labelings, and the probabilistic method in graph theory.
In the ten years since the publication of the best-selling first edition, more than 1,000 graph theory papers have been published each year. Reflecting these advances, Handbook of Graph Theory, Second Edition provides comprehensive coverage of the main topics in pure and applied graph theory. This second edition—over 400 pages longer than its predecessor—incorporates 14 new sections. Each chapter includes lists of essential definitions and facts, accompanied by examples, tables, remarks, and, in some cases, conjectures and open problems. A bibliography at the end of each chapter provides an extensive guide to the research literature and pointers to monographs. In addition, a glossary is included in each chapter as well as at the end of each section. This edition also contains notes regarding terminology and notation. With 34 new contributors, this handbook is the most comprehensive single-source guide to graph theory. It emphasizes quick accessibility to topics for non-experts and enables easy cross-referencing among chapters.
Introductory, Combinatorics, Third Edition is designed for introductory courses in combinatorics, or more generally, discrete mathematics. The author, Kenneth Bogart, has chosen core material of value to students in a wide variety of disciplines: mathematics, computer science, statistics, operations research, physical sciences, and behavioral sciences. The rapid growth in the breadth and depth of the field of combinatorics in the last several decades, first in graph theory and designs and more recently in enumeration and ordered sets, has led to a recognition of combinatorics as a field with which the aspiring mathematician should become familiar. This long-overdue new edition of a popular set presents a broad comprehensive survey of modern combinatorics which is important to the various scientific fields of study.
These notes were first used in an introductory course team taught by the authors at Appalachian State University to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduates. The text was written with four pedagogical goals in mind: offer a variety of topics in one course, get to the main themes and tools as efficiently as possible, show the relationships between the different topics, and include recent results to convince students that mathematics is a living discipline.
Written by two prominent figures in the field, this comprehensive text provides a remarkably student-friendly approach. Its sound yet accessible treatment emphasizes the history of graph theory and offers unique examples and lucid proofs. 2004 edition.
Graphs & Digraphs, Seventh Edition masterfully employs student-friendly exposition, clear proofs, abundant examples, and numerous exercises to provide an essential understanding of the concepts, theorems, history, and applications of graph theory. This classic text, widely popular among students and instructors alike for decades, is thoroughly streamlined in this new, seventh edition, to present a text consistent with contemporary expectations. Changes and updates to this edition include: A rewrite of four chapters from the ground up Streamlining by over a third for efficient, comprehensive coverage of graph theory Flexible structure with foundational Chapters 1–6 and customizable topics in Chapters 7–11 Incorporation of the latest developments in fundamental graph theory Statements of recent groundbreaking discoveries, even if proofs are beyond scope Completely reorganized chapters on traversability, connectivity, coloring, and extremal graph theory to reflect recent developments The text remains the consummate choice for an advanced undergraduate level or introductory graduate-level course exploring the subject’s fascinating history, while covering a host of interesting problems and diverse applications. Our major objective is to introduce and treat graph theory as the beautiful area of mathematics we have always found it to be. We have striven to produce a reader-friendly, carefully written book that emphasizes the mathematical theory of graphs, in all their forms. While a certain amount of mathematical maturity, including a solid understanding of proof, is required to appreciate the material, with a small number of exceptions this is the only pre-requisite. In addition, owing to the exhilarating pace of progress in the field, there have been countless developments in fundamental graph theory ever since the previous edition, and many of these discoveries have been incorporated into the book. Of course, some of the proofs of these results are beyond the scope of the book, in which cases we have only included their statements. In other cases, however, these new results have led us to completely reorganize our presentation. Two examples are the chapters on coloring and extremal graph theory.
This text is a comprehensive survey of the literature surrounding star-critical Ramsey numbers. First defined by Jonelle Hook in her 2010 dissertation, these numbers aim to measure the sharpness of the corresponding Ramsey numbers by determining the minimum number of edges needed to be added to a critical graph for the Ramsey property to hold. Despite being in its infancy, the topic has gained significant attention among Ramsey theorists. This work provides researchers and students with a resource for studying known results and their complete proofs. It covers typical results, including multicolor star-critical Ramsey numbers for complete graphs, trees, cycles, wheels, and n-good graphs, among others. The proofs are streamlined and, in some cases, simplified, with a few new results included. The book also explores the connection between star-critical Ramsey numbers and deleted edge numbers, which focus on destroying the Ramsey property by removing edges. The book concludes with open problems and conjectures for researchers to consider, making it a valuable resource for those studying the field of star-critical Ramsey numbers.
