MATH 582

STRUCTURE OF GRAPHS, Spring 2012

This is an advanced graduate course on structural aspects of graphs. Students are expected to be familiar with basic graph theory as discussed in Math 412 or Math 580. Prior study of algorithmic graph theory may be adequate preparation. Fundamental results of graph theory from prior courses will be derived as needed. Main topics include Vertex degrees, Embeddings in product graphs, Connectivity, Hamiltonian cycles & circumference, Planarity, Topological graph theory, Graph Minors, Nowhere-zero flows & cycle covers, and Algebraic graph theory.
