Preface

This book is intended as an introduction to graph theory. Our aim bas been to present what we consider to be the basic material, together with a wide variety of applications, both to other branches of mathematics and to real-world problems. Included are simple new proofs of theorems of Brooks, Chvâtal, Tutte and Vizing. The applications have been carefully selected, and are treated in some depth. We have chosen to omit ail so-called 'applications' that employ just the language of graphs and no theory. The applications appearing at the end of each chapter actually make use of theory developed earlier in the same chapter. We have also stressed the importance of efficient methods of solving problems. Several good al gorithms are included and their efficiencies are analysed. We do not, however, go into the computer iinplementation of these algorithms.

The exercises at the

end of each section are of varying difficulty. The harder ones are starred (*) and, for these, hints are provided in appendix I. ln some exercises, new . definitions · are introduced. The reader is recom mended to acquaint himself with these definitions. Other exercises, whose numbers are indicated by bold type, are used in subsequent sections; these should ail be attempted. Appendix II consists of a table in which basic properties of four graphs are listed. When new definitions are introduced,

· the reader may find it

helpful to check bis understanding by referring to this table. Appendix III includes a selection of interesting graphs with special properties. These may prove to be useful in testing new conjectures. In appendix IV, we collect together a number of unsolved problems, some known to be very difficult, and others more hopeful. Suggestions for further reading are given in appendix V.

Many people have contributed, either directly

or indirectly, to this book.

We are particularly indebted to C. Berge and D.

J. ~-Welsh for introducing

us to graph theory, to G. A. Dirac,

J. Edmonds, L. Lovâsz and W. T. Tutte,

whose works have influenced oui-treatment of the subject, to V. Chungphaisan and C. St. J. A. Nash-Williams for their careful reading of the

Preface vii

manuscript and valuable suggestions, and to the ubiquitous G. O. M. for his kindness and constant encouragement.

We also wish to thank

S. B. Maurer, P. J. O'Halloran, C. Thomassen,

B. Toft and our colleagues at the University of Waterloo for many helpful comments, and the National Research Council of Canada for its financial support. Finally, we would like to express our appreciation to Joan Selwood for her excellent typing and Diana Rajnovich for her beautiful artwork.
