| Main themes |
Introduction to the language and theory of graphs : questions of characterization, isomorphism, existence and enumeration. Properties of directed and undirected graphs such as connectivity, planarity, k-colorability and the property of being Eulerian, perfect, etc.
Modelling of practical problems : data structures and algorithms for the exploration of graphs.
Basic graph algorithms and an analysis of their complexity.
|
| Aims |
Demonstrate the value of graphs as a modelling tool. Develop the basics of graph theory, the characterisation and enumeration of different classes of graphs, the existence and search for optimal subgraphs, the complexity of calculating certain graph parameters.
|
| Content |
Structure and characterization of graphs - basic concepts - degree, connected components, path, cycle, cut, minor, etc.
Classes of graphs and their recognition - perfect, series parallel, planar graphs, acyclic digraphs, etc.
Exploration of graphs and tests of their properties - k-connected, eulerian, etc.
Flows - theorems of Menger and Hall, maximum flow and minimum cost flow algorithms and their complexity.
Problems :finding optimal matchings and stable sets, the travelling salesman problem, cut, graph partitioning and graph colouring problems
