The so-called differential equation method in probabilistic combinatorics presented by Patrick Bennett, Ph.D., Department of Mathematics, Western Michigan University Abstract: Differential equations ...

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 ...

KALAMAZOO, Mich.—Western Michigan University's international reputation on the topic of graph theory is on display in a new book published recently by Princeton University Press. Graph theory, a ...

Antimagic labelling is a fascinating area of graph theory that assigns unique integers to the edges of a graph in such a way that the resulting vertex sums are distinct. This concept, grounded in the ...

Now that pandemic restrictions are easing up, people are getting together again. But it’s been a while, so if you and your friends need some help breaking the ice, here’s a mathematical party game you ...

Avi Wigderson and László Lovász won for their work developing complexity theory and graph theory, respectively, and for connecting the two fields. When Avi Wigderson and László Lovász began their ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...
