The study of graph colouring has long been a central topic in discrete mathematics, with a prominent focus on optimising the assignment of labels or colours to vertices such that adjacent vertices are ...
In 2015, the poet-turned-mathematician June Huh helped solve a problem posed about 50 years earlier. The problem was about complex mathematical objects called “matroids” and combinations of points and ...
He wanted to be a poet, then a science journalist. Only in his last year in college did Dr. Huh discover math as a calling. By Kenneth Chang Most top mathematicians discovered the subject when they ...
The graph colouring problem, a classic NP-hard challenge, is central to many practical applications such as scheduling, resource allocation and network management. Recent advances have seen the ...
In a recent article, mathematicians explain the use of tools from the branch of mathematics called graph theory to systematically analyze Sudoku puzzles. They also find that analyzing Sudokus leads to ...
