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 ...

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 ...

Algorithmic graph theory and optimisation represents a critical nexus between discrete mathematics and computer science, underpinning the development of efficient methodologies for analysing complex ...

Graph limit theory provides a rigorous framework for analysing sequences of large graphs by representing them as continuous objects known as graphons – symmetric measurable functions on the unit ...

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 ...

It has been an exhilarating year in combinatorics research. In early 2023, mathematicians were stunned when two of the biggest problems in the field were solved in as many months. Now, a third major ...
