Features recent advances and new applications in graph edgecoloring Reviewing recent advances in the Edge Coloring Problem, GraphEdge Coloring: Vizing's Theorem and Goldberg's Conjectureprovides an overview of the current state of the science,explaining the interconnections among the results obtained fromimportant graph theory studies. The authors introduce many newimproved proofs of known results to identify and point to possiblesolutions for open problems in edge coloring. The book begins with an introduction to graph theory and theconcept of edge coloring. Subsequent chapters explore importanttopics such as: Use of Tashkinov trees to obtain an asymptotic positive solutionto Goldberg's conjecture Application of Vizing fans to obtain both known and newresults Kierstead paths as an alternative to Vizing fans Classification problem of simple graphs Generalized edge coloring in which a color may appear more thanonce at a vertex This book also features first-time English translations of twogroundbreaking papers written by Vadim Vizing on an estimate of thechromatic class of a p-graph and the critical graphs within a givenchromatic class. Written by leading experts who have reinvigorated research inthe field, Graph Edge Coloring is an excellent book formathematics, optimization, and computer science courses at thegraduate level. The book also serves as a valuable reference forresearchers interested in discrete mathematics, graph theory,operations research, theoretical computer science, andcombinatorial optimization.

Chromatic graph theory is a thriving area that uses various ideas of 'colouring' (of vertices, edges, and so on) to explore aspects of graph theory. It has links with other areas of mathematics, including topology, algebra and geometry, and is increasingly used in such areas as computer networks, where colouring algorithms form an important feature. While other books cover portions of the material, no other title has such a wide scope as this one, in which acknowledged international experts in the field provide a broad survey of the subject. All fifteen chapters have been carefully edited, with uniform notation and terminology applied throughout. Bjarne Toft (Odense, Denmark), widely recognized for his substantial contributions to the area, acted as academic consultant. The book serves as a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in graph theory and combinatorics and as a useful introduction to the topic for mathematicians in related fields.

Over the past decade, many major advances have been made in the field of graph coloring via the probabilistic method. This monograph, by two of the best on the topic, provides an accessible and unified treatment of these results, using tools such as the Lovasz Local Lemma and Talagrand's concentration inequality.

Graph Theory has proved to be an extremely useful tool for solving combinatorial problems in such diverse areas as Geometry, Algebra, Number Theory, Topology, Operations Research and Optimization. It is natural to attempt to generalise the concept of a graph, in order to attack additional combinatorial problems. The idea of looking at a family of sets from this standpoint took shape around 1960. In regarding each set as a ``generalised edge'' and in calling the family itself a ``hypergraph'', the initial idea was to try to extend certain classical results of Graph Theory such as the theorems of Turán and König. It was noticed that this generalisation often led to simplification; moreover, one single statement, sometimes remarkably simple, could unify several theorems on graphs. This book presents what seems to be the most significant work on hypergraphs.

This book provides a timely overview of fuzzy graph theory, laying the foundation for future applications in a broad range of areas. It introduces readers to fundamental theories, such as Craine’s work on fuzzy interval graphs, fuzzy analogs of Marczewski’s theorem, and the Gilmore and Hoffman characterization. It also introduces them to the Fulkerson and Gross characterization and Menger’s theorem, the applications of which will be discussed in a forthcoming book by the same authors. This book also discusses in detail important concepts such as connectivity, distance and saturation in fuzzy graphs. Thanks to the good balance between the basics of fuzzy graph theory and new findings obtained by the authors, the book offers an excellent reference guide for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, engineering and computer science, and an inspiring read for all researchers interested in new developments in fuzzy logic and applied mathematics.
