Graph Theory

Emory University's Ronald Gould is a Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science. He is known for his work in Hamiltonian graph theory and specializes in combinatorics and graph theory.

This introduction to graph theory focuses on well-known topics, covering fundamental techniques and addressing both algorithmic and theoretical issues. The algorithms are presented with only the most basic data structures and programming details. This thoroughly revised 1988 edition is ideal for computer scientists, advanced undergraduates, and graduate students of topology, algebra, and matrix theory. Graph Theory is regarded as one of the best books on graph theory.

The first subjects are fundamental concepts and notation, as well as elementary properties and operations, followed by examinations of paths and searching, trees, and networks. Following chapters investigate cycles and circuits, planarity, matchings, and independence. The text concludes with discussions of special topics and applications, as well as extremal theory. Exercises are scattered throughout the text. Dover (2012) reissue of the 1988 edition published by the Benjamin / Cummings Publishing Company in Menlo Park, California.
