MATH 5431G - Combinatorics and Graph Theory

Institution:

Georgia Southern University

Subject:

MATH Mathematics

Description:

The course covers basic theory and applications of combinatorics and graph theory. Combinatorics is a study of different enumeration techniques of finite but large sets. Topics that will be studied include principle of inclusion and exclusion, generating functions and methods to solve difference equations. Graph theory is a study of graphs, trees and networks. Topics that will be discussed include Euler formula, Hamilton paths, planar graphs and coloring problem; the use of trees in sorting and prefix codes; and useful algorithms on networks such as shortest path algorithm, minimal spanning tree algorithm and min-flow max-cut algorithm. Graduate students will be given extra assignments determined by the instructor that undergraduates will not be required to do.
