An innovative approach to solving a stubborn, but elementary, question in graph theory — the mathematical study of networks of nodes and their connections — may signal the first major theoretical ...

Computer scientists are abuzz over a fast new algorithm for solving one of the central problems in the field. (January 15, 2017, update: On January 4, Babai retracted his claim that the new algorithm ...

Theoretical computer scientists are normally a fairly sedate bunch, but are humming with excitement after a potential breakthrough in a long-standing problem called graph isomorphism. The result could ...

Graph theory isn’t enough. The mathematical language for talking about connections, which usually depends on networks — vertices (dots) and edges (lines connecting them) — has been an invaluable way ...
