Description
Algebraic graph theory explores the intersection of algebra and graph theory, revealing surprising and elegant proofs for graph theoretic facts. This subject encompasses various topics, including the characterization of line graphs by eigenvalues and geometric embeddings of graphs.
The authors present a comprehensive range of subjects, from standard classics to more unusual areas such as graph homomorphisms. The book aims to provide an accessible introduction to modern algebraic graph theory, covering both established and emerging research topics.
Graduate students and researchers in graph theory, combinatorics, or discrete mathematics will find this book a valuable resource. With a focus on self-contained explanations and the development of necessary graph theory from scratch, it is suitable for motivated upper-level undergraduates with a background in linear algebra and elementary group theory.
