- W1964700291 abstract "Following this advice, we should look over the big questions, then doodle and sketch out some approaches. If you are an expert, then this is easy to do, but most people do not want to wait to become an expert before looking at interesting problems. Graph theory, our area of expertise, has many hard-to-solve questions. Some hark back to the recreational roots of the area yet still keep their mystery. These ‘‘acorns’’ can be planted on the backs of envelopes, on a blackboard, and over a coffee. Our goal is to collect some of these conjectures—arguably some of the most intriguing—in one place. We present ten conjectures in graph theory, and you can read about each one in at most ten minutes. As we live in the era of Twitter, all the conjectures we state are 140 characters or fewer (so ‘‘minute’’ here has a double meaning). We might even call these sketchy tweets, as we present examples for each conjecture that you can doodle on as you read. Hamming also references ambiguity: good researchers can work both on proving and disproving the same statement, so we approach the conjectures with an open mind. He also mentions that a good approach is to reframe the problem, and change the point of view. One example from Vizing’s Conjecture (which is discussed as our second-to-last conjecture in the following text), is the three-page paper [2] which, with a new way of thinking, reduced most of the published work of twenty years to a corollary of its main result! Given the size of modern graph theory, with its many smaller subfields (such as structural graph theory, random graphs, topological graph theory, graph algorithms, spectral graph theory, graph minors, and graph homomorphisms, to name a few), it would be impossible to list all, or even the bulk of the conjectures in the field. We are content instead to focus on a few family jewels, which have an intrinsic beauty and have provided some challenges for graph-theorists for at least two decades. There is something for everyone here, from undergraduate students taking their first course in graph theory, to seasoned researchers in the field. For additional reading on problems and conjectures in graph theory and other fields, see the Open Problem Garden maintained by IRMACS at Simon Fraser University [24]. We consider only finite and undirected graphs, with no multiple edges or loops (unless otherwise stated). We assume the reader has some basic familiarity with graphs and their terminology, including notions such as cycles, paths, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs, vertex degrees, and connected graphs. We use the notation Cn for the cycle with n vertices, Pn for the path with n vertices, and Kn for the complete graph with n vertices. The complete bipartite graph with m and n vertices of the respective colors is denoted by Km,n. All the background we need can be found in any text in graph theory, such as those of Diestel [9] and West [41], or online (see for example [42])." @default.
