โœฆ Synopsis


Attempts to solve the famous Four Color Problem led to fruitful discoveries and rich coloring theories. In this talk, some old and some recent applications of tools from topology to graph coloring problems will be presented. In particular, the following subjects will be treated: The use of Euler's formula and local planarity conditions, Kempe equivalence, homotopy, winding number and its higher dimensional analogues.

Interconnection networks require dense graphs in the sense that many nodes with relatively few links may be connected with relatively short paths. Some recent constructions of such dense graphs with a given maximal degree A and diameter D (known as (A, D) graphs) are reviewed here. The paper also co
