About the course

Aim

The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of graph theoretical concepts and the ability to use them in mathematics, natural sciences, and computer science. After completing the course, the student should

  • be familiar with important classes of graph theoretical problems,
  • be able to formulate and use central theorems about trees, matchings, connectivity, colorings, as well as planar and Hamiltonian graphs,
  • be able to describe and apply some basic algorithms for graphs,
  • have knowledge of elementary Ramsey theory,
  • be able to solve simple graph theoretical problems and use graph theory as a tool in modeling.

Content

  • Trees: Cayley’s formula and spanning trees
  • Connectivity and Menger’s theorem,
  • Hamilton cycles and colorings of graphs,
  • Matchings and coverings, Tutte’s theorem on perfect matchings, Egervary's algorithm
  • Elementary Ramsey theory
  • Plane graphs: Euler’s formula, the five-color theorem
  • Some applications of graphs in natural science, timetabling and computer science.
