Combinatorial Geometry And Graph Theory

Combinatorial Geometry and Graph Theory

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Indonesia-Japan Joint Conference on Combinatorial Geometry and Graph Theory, IJCCGGT 2003, held in Bandung, Indonesia in September 2003. The 23 revised papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. Among the topics covered are coverings, convex polygons, convex polyhedra, matchings, graph colourings, crossing numbers, subdivision numbers, combinatorial optimization, combinatorics, spanning trees, various graph characteristica, convex bodies, labelling, Ramsey number estimation, etc.

Geometric Graphs and Arrangements

Among the intuitively appealing aspects of graph theory is its close connection to drawings and geometry. The development of computer technology has become a source of motivation to reconsider these connections, in particular geometric graphs are emerging as a new subfield of graph theory. Arrangements of points and lines are the objects for many challenging problems and surprising solutions in combinatorial geometry. The book is a collection of beautiful and partly very recent results from the intersection of geometry, graph theory and combinatorics.
