Commuting graphs have emerged as a powerful framework for elucidating complex relationships within finite group theory. In these graphs, vertices typically represent non-central elements of a group, ...

Grochow is among a growing chorus of researchers who point out that when it comes to finding connections in big data, graph theory has its limits. A graph represents every relationship as a dyad, or ...

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 ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

Anti-Ramsey theory in graphs is a branch of combinatorial mathematics that examines the conditions under which a graph, when its edges are coloured, must necessarily contain a ‘rainbow’ subgraph – a ...

Deep in the heart of Microsoft, Jennifer Chayes and Christian Borgs lead a who's who of mathematics and computer science. The goal? To explore anything they please Every weekday afternoon some 20 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I help people communicate data clearly with graphs. If you are looking for examples of misleading or deceptive graphs, it is far ...
