DESCRIPTION:
Thorough Dan Hogan This was the one book assigned for a class where I did NOT have to go out and buy a few other books in order to round out the assigned text. Chartrand has written books on graph theory directed at students of many different levels, and this one is advanced -- but th. Not enough examples G. D. Nicholas While I won't argue that the book is thorough and professional, I find it lacking enough examples to let me comprehensively understand the material. In many books, the author will introduce a concept and then give examples to cement the application of these concepts
a popular point of entry to the field…has evolved with the field from a purely mathematical treatment to one that also addresses the needs of computer scientists.-L'Enseignement Mathématique…emphasizes clear exposition, well-written proofs, and many original and innovative exercises-of varying difficulty and challenge…For 25 years, Graphs & Digraphs, in its various editions, has served as an exemplary introduction to the emerging mathematical disciplines of graph theories, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The fourth edition continues these fine traditions.-Zentralblatt MATH . It has also served established graph theorists, combinatorialists, and other discrete mathematicians, as well as computer scientists and chemists, as a useful reference work
As in previous editions, the text presents graph theory as a mathematical discipline and emphasizes clear exposition and well-written proofs. New in this edition are expanded treatments of graph decomposition and external graph theory, a study of graph vulnerability and domination, and introductions to voltage graphs, graph labelings, and the probabilistic method in graph theory.. This is the third edition of the popular text on graph theory
