商品描述

Brooks' Theorem (1941) is one of the most famous and fundamental theorems in graph theory - it is mentioned/treated in all general monographs on graph theory. It has sparked research in several directions. This book presents a comprehensive overview of this development and see it in context. It describes results, both early and recent, and explains relations: the various proofs, the many extensions and similar results for other graph parameters. It serves as a valuable reference to a wealth of information, now scattered in journals, proceedings and dissertations. The reader gets easy access to this wealth of information in comprehensive form, including best known proofs of the results described. Each chapter ends in a note section with historical remarks, comments and further results. The book is also suitable for graduate courses in graph theory and includes exercises. The book is intended for readers wanting to dig deeper into graph coloring theory than what is possible in the existing book literature. There is a comprehensive list of references to original sources.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

布魯克斯定理(1941年)是圖論中最著名且基礎的定理之一,它在所有關於圖論的綜合專著中都有提及或討論。它引發了在多個方向上的研究。本書全面介紹了這一發展並將其放在相應的背景中。它描述了早期和最近的結果,並解釋了相關性:各種證明、許多擴展以及其他圖參數的類似結果。它是一個寶貴的參考資料,現在散落在期刊、會議記錄和論文中的大量信息都可以輕鬆獲得,包括對所描述結果的最佳已知證明。每章結束時都有一個註釋部分,包含歷史備註、評論和進一步的結果。本書也適合作為圖論研究生課程的教材,並包含練習題。本書旨在為希望深入研究圖著色理論的讀者提供比現有書籍更多的資訊。書中還附有原始資料的詳盡參考文獻列表。
