Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...
Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...
Mathematicians have proved that copies of smaller graphs can always be used to perfectly cover larger ones. On January 8, three mathematicians posted a proof of a nearly 60-year-old problem in ...
