Course Page: math.msu.edu/~magyar/math881
Topics and dates are tentative, and changes will be posted throughout the semester.
Lect | Date | Section: Topic | |
1 | 1/8 | Overview: Four-Color & Kuratowski Thms. Cayley graphs. Heat equation & spectrum. | |
2 | 1/10 | B I: Walks, paths, cycles. Tree definitions, Δ(T) leaves. ∑ d(v) = 2m. Euler circuits & Hamilton cycles. | |
3 | 1/12 | B I: Distance shells V = ∪ Di, Γ(Di) ⊂ Di−1 ∪ Di ∪ Di+1, spanning tree algorithm.
No odd cycle ⇒ no edge in Di ⇒ bipartite ⇒ m ≤ n2/4. Mantel: m > n2/4 ⇒ C3 ⊂ G. | |
