Bootstrap percolation, a model of irreversible activation on graphs, has emerged as a pivotal area within graph theory and statistical mechanics. In this process, nodes (or vertices) on a network are ...

Jacob Holm was flipping through proofs from an October 2019 research paper he and colleague Eva Rotenberg—an associate professor in the department of applied mathematics and computer science at the ...

If you are interested in the real-world applications of numbers, discrete mathematics may be the concentration for you. Because discrete mathematics is the language of computing, it complements the ...

Here’s a good, clear post by Mark Chu-Carroll, a software engineer at Google, on graph theory. It describes how Euler used it to solve a conundrum involving bridges in Königsberg. In a previous post, ...

In math, as in life, small choices can have big consequences. This is especially true in graph theory, a field that studies networks of objects and the connections between them. Here’s a little puzzle ...

New results emerging from graph theory prove that the way a population is organized can guarantee the eventual triumph of natural selection — or permanently thwart it. Natural selection has been a ...

In the race toward practical quantum computers and networks, photons—fundamental particles of light—hold intriguing possibilities as fast carriers of information at room temperature. Researchers at ...
