Graph polynomials serve as robust algebraic encodings of the intricate combinatorial properties inherent to graphs. At the heart of this discipline lies the Tutte polynomial, an invariant that not ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

Graphs are everywhere. In discrete mathematics, they are structures that show the connections between points, much like a ...

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

In math, as in life, small choices can have big consequences. This is especially true in graph theory, a field that studies networks of objects and the connections between them. Here’s a little puzzle ...
