Most of you have used a navigation app like Google Maps for your travels at some point. These apps rely on algorithms that ...

Coxeter theory investigates groups generated by reflections and the geometric structures arising from their actions, such as root systems and Dynkin diagrams. This body of work underpins vast areas of ...

Two computer scientists found — in the unlikeliest of places — just the idea they needed to make a big leap in graph theory. This past October, as Jacob Holm and Eva Rotenberg were thumbing through a ...

Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980's. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem and had just given away much of the ...

Kolla’s research interests include spectral graph theory, algorithms, complexity, convex programming, statistical physics and quantum computing. Kolla is particularly interested in the use of spectral ...

Like many of us, [Tim]’s seen online videos of circuit sculptures containing illuminated LED filaments. Unlike most of us, however, he went a step further by using graph theory to design glowing ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

Imagine a problem so fiendishly hard that one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century publicly mused that even alien civilisations ...
