Graph Theory: Favorite Conjectures and Open Problems

Description: Graph Theory by Ralucca Gera, Stephen Hedetniemi, Craig Larson This is the first in a series of volumes, which provide an extensive overview of conjectures and open problems in graph theory. The readership of each volume is geared toward graduate students who may be searching for research ideas. However, the well-established mathematician will find the overall exposition engaging and enlightening. Each chapter, presented in a story-telling style, includes more than a simple collection of results on a particular topic. Each contribution conveys the history, evolution, and techniques used to solve the authors favorite conjectures and open problems, enhancing the readers overall comprehension and enthusiasm. The editors were inspired to create these volumes by the popular and well attended special sessions, entitled "My Favorite Graph Theory Conjectures," which were held at the winter AMS/MAA Joint Meeting in Boston (January, 2012), the SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics in Halifax (June,2012) and the winter AMS/MAA Joint meeting in Baltimore(January, 2014). In an effort to aid in the creation and dissemination of open problems, which is crucial to the growth and development of a field, the editors requested the speakers, as well as notable experts in graph theory, to contribute to these volumes.

Each of these chapters is self-contained and can be understood by readers with no more than an undergraduate class in graph theory. … The format and accessibility of the book make it a good choice for a course or seminar in which each student can present a chapter."
