Author Description
Modern Applications of Graph Theory discusses many cutting-edge applications of graph theory, such as traffic networks, navigable networks and optimal routing for emergency response, placement of electric vehicle charging stations, and graph-theoretic methods in molecular epidemiology. Due to the rapid growth of research in this field, the focus of the book is on the up-to-date development of these applications and the mathematical methods used to tackle them. Ideal for researchers, engineers, transport planners and emergency response specialists who are interested in graph theory applications, Modern Applications of Graph Theory can also be used as teaching material. In addition to up-to-date descriptions of the applications, it includes extensive exercises and their solutions, mimicking practical, real-life situations. Furthermore, there is an introductory chapter, which provides an overview of basic applications and algorithms of graph theory. The book includes over 120 illustrations and tables.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This book investigates how contemporary graph theory provides mathematical frameworks to solve complex logistical and structural problems in modern infrastructure and epidemiology. Dr. Vadim Zverovich leverages his expertise to bridge the gap between abstract graph-theoretic concepts and their practical implementation in real-world scenarios. The text presents a structured approach to modeling networks, focusing on the mathematical rigor required to optimize systems ranging from traffic flow to public health response.
