The course concentrates on important problems from graph theory with emphasis on engineering applications. It deals with basic terms of graph theory, properties of various types of graphs and methods their numerical coding with aims on computational complexity of algorithms. It systematically goes over real-life graphs problems (large-scale sets of equations, numerical applications, engineering problems, tasks of operational research/analysis and decision-making problems) and presents effective algorithms of their solution.
Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

  • Extract the graph theory problems in industrial tasks.

  • Analyze the graph theory problems and solve them using efficient known graph algorithms.

  • Have an overview of many problems solvable by various graph algorithms.

  • Distinguish computationally intensive tasks among various graph theory problems.
