Speaker Michael Pelsmajer IIT Applied Mathematics Description Graph drawing considers ways to nicely embed graphs on the plane or other surfaces. The first thing that one tries to avoid is having two...
Description Given a set F of graphs, a graph G is F-free if G does not contain any member of F as an induced subgraph. We say that F is a degree-sequence-forcing set if, for each graph G in the class...
